A student asked me how to get their first paying client without a portfolio. 🤔💰 If you have basic skills, try this: 1. Pick a niche you love ❤️ – like kitesurfing, for example. 2. Offer a free test project 🎥 – Ask a local shop owner if you can make a short promo video for them. In return, have them display it in their store, let you leave business cards the store, and post it on your website with your name --> SPREAD IT 3. Use it as proof ✅ – Now have a real project to show. Pitch other kitesurfing shops or surf brands - maybe even somebody lurks on the website of the Surf Shop you promoted and likes your work - Start with low prices, and increase them as you gain experience and proof. 🚀 For Inspiration: FREE TEST PROJECT EXAMPLE: A Tribute to One Eye PAID FILM FOR CLIENT: The Invention of the WetSuit by Jack O´Neill

@Eric Young and me edited a video for a luxury hand bag and would love to hear your thoughts! color grading and sound are still work in progress - next step is to wait for the client to give some feedback on the overall aesthetics - was FUN

SO good to have @Tony Loew visit in Munich recently... We ate some Kebab, talked life and stuff and of course did some work... And talked about “finding your style in video producing”. We found that it nothing you can "think your way throguh" That doesn’t work. Style comes from volume + reflection. Tony is building a new channel right now, he just went right into the work and made a "playground channel" that is just meant to get his first 100 videos shipped, without overthinking. → Decided to make a lot of videos and improve each one → Built a simple taste map (films, shows, music we like) → Broke it down: what exactly do I like about this? → Applied it immediately in editing That’s it. So maybe that helps you find your style as well - by doing: 1. Make at least 10 , ideally 100 videos without pressure 2. Study what you like (not just what, but why) 3. Look for patterns (tone, pacing, feeling) 4. Test it right away Style isn’t something you choose. It’s what shows upwhen you’ve made enough work. Hope you like it, thanks @Tony Loew
