Our Week In Video

In this episode, Ben and Rich explore whether traditional videography could be overshadowed by the rise of content creators. As platforms like YouTube and TikTok democratize content production, versatile creators are reshaping the digital landscape. Ben and Rich discuss the potential threats to traditional videography, the emergence of personal branding, and new strategies for engaging and monetizing audiences. Whether you're an aspiring creator or a seasoned videographer, this episode offers critical insights into navigating this industry shift. Tune in to discover if content creation could truly kill off videography.

This week we've been filming EVs in Essex, Weddings in Salisbury, high rope climbing in Wales and lackluster 4x4s somewhere in the Cotswolds. Come with us to see how we got on!

Nope you've not woken up in 2017, it really is 2024... So can it be? Is this really a new episode?  Best you head over to Spotify and check it out for real!  

We're joined by special guest Andrew Davies to talk networking. Is it necessary? Can you just go it alone? We discuss both the pros and cons of networking and socialising with peers and clients. We also have a chat about our go to lenses, what we love about them as well as what niggles us! [email protected]  

Can you change your filming style overnight? We all want to do something fresh and exciting, it's one of the things drives us to become better filmmakers. But can you just 'level up' overnight? What will your future clients think? Did they book you for your new or old 'style'? Plus we get technical and talk back up workflow and best practice for archiving old data.  Reach out to us at [email protected] We're also on Instagram / @ourweekinvideo  

Have you ever lost your 'creative mojo'? There are so many questions when it happens. How did you get there? Can you get that creative spark back?  Rich is stuck with 'creative block' and he can't figure out why it's happened or how to get going again. Ben offers some advice to help Rich back on his way.

It's one of our biggest concerns, geting someone to shoot for us when we're unavailable. How do you find someone? Do you have a trusted list? Did your chosen crew not turn out as good as their showreel? All this and more in this weeks show!

With the removal of SLOG2 from the latest FX3 firmware, is Sony going to completely give up on LOG? Or are they just housekeeping? Plus audio issues, kit list wishes and top tips! 

Okay so we're running a bit behind, we should probably change the title of this show to our six months in video! This episode was recorded in November but we've only now been able to get it out to you. In the show we're talking about crazy aspect ratios, wedding backlogs, using the A7S3 for TV work and trusting your 2nd shooters! 

In this weeks show we're both feeling a bit de-motivated about the standard of our current work. Is this due to rushing edits, filming the same things over and over again, or are we just getting a bit long in the tooth and it's time to stop. Therefore we're asking each other, can we still be proud of the work we're producing? ig. https://instagram.com/ourweekingvideo t. https://twitter.com/ourweekinvideo e. [email protected]
