Grab a front-row seat to the rollercoaster world of indie filmmaking and real-life drama that rivals any scripted TV show. We celebrate Dustin's gritty new gig on ALLBLK where art imitates life in the crime-tinged streets of Chicago's rap scene, pulling threads from the infamous saga of Takashi 6ix9ine. Buckle up as we peel back the layers of authenticity, snitches, and the unexpected soundtrack of heavy machinery that plows through our recording.
Ever wondered what it takes to bring a creative vision to life, especially when Mother Nature and anxiety team up against you? Dustin shares a raw and relatable weekend filmmaking escapade that's rife with weather woes, location scouting headaches, and the emotional tug-of-war that every passionate creator knows all too well. Discover the resilience it takes to navigate through the storms of both the skies and the mind, punctuated by the kind of humor that only comes from facing the unexpected.
Wrapping up with a tech-savvy twist, we weigh in on the high-stakes game of chasing the latest camera specs, from the allure of the Ursa 12K to DJI's groundbreaking Ronin 4D. The inner workings of our creative partnerships, wedding videography shenanigans, and our peculiar gear habits also get their moment in the spotlight. So tune in, get inspired, and join us for a conversation that's as diverse as our filming resolutions.
Ps: We had AI write this episode description, lol.

Michael & Dustin open the show discussing the VideoBros intro music. The guys give an update on how they're managing during the corona shutdown and make their predictions on what will happen next. Later, Dustin talks about how one of his Pocket 4K cameras is like the others, gives an update on the performance of the memory card he hyped up in a previous episode and chats about why he refuses to use the Samsung T5 SSD with the Pocket cams. Eventually the guys hit on several topics including The Tiger King series on Netflix, Dustin's experience with filming big cat rescue operations, Michael's take on Rick Kirkham (producer, Joe Exotic TV) and their favorite quotes from the series. Before wrapping, the guys talk about their upcoming shoot schedules, product names that don't make sense, and the family drama surrounding an upcoming wedding within Dustin's family.

Hey it's Michael and Dustin! Have you ever wondered how the rhythm of videography work shifts with the seasons, or what really goes on behind the scenes of your favorite indie films? Well then get ready to be rocked to your very core as we peel back the curtain on the industry.
As we gaze (no homo) toward the horizon of the film industry's future, we don't shy away from the harsher truths. This candid conversation takes you from the bustling indie scene in Atlanta (that's a joke) to the global production stage, tackling the unsettling job market and the reality of working on passion projects versus big studio gigs (there are none). Discover how we're embracing adaptability and resilience, the secret ingredients for surviving and thriving in creative careers (drug use).
Rounding out this insightful talk (yeah right), we dive into the nitty-gritty of videography tech, from the dream features of the ideal camera to the practicality of matching camera setups. It's the kind of chat that could save you time and money on your next shoot, and maybe even inspire your career's next move (like doing anything other than becoming a videographer). We wrap things up with some personal reflections on the uncertainties facing our industry, the balance of life's commitments, and a light-hearted sign-off that'll leave you wanting more—just like a good film should.

Hey guys. Got lazy this week and let AI analyze our podcast episode and write the description. I mean it's coming for our jobs, so might as well get a head start on being unemployed, right?
Ever found yourself wondering if the impressive economic headlines truly reflect the reality on the ground? Our latest episode strips down the facade of the film industry, revealing the harsh contrasts between what's reported and the struggles of those behind the scenes. We kick off with a jest about personal style choices but quickly transition into the domino effect job delays have on the crew, discussing the emotional toll of uncertainty and the discord between economic narratives and actual quality of life.
This time around, we're not just sharing stories; we're inviting listeners to join an introspective journey. We examine the challenges of maintaining relationships with differing political views, especially when discussing the economy, and recount a personal conflict that taught us the value of communication. As we navigate the choppy waters of media frenzy over high-profile cases in entertainment, you'll find us questioning the influence of appearances on public perception and legal outcomes, all while weighing in on the latest camera tech trends, from the cutting-edge Ronin 4D to the impact of corporate acquisitions on the industry.
Get ready for a discussion that oscillates between technical insights and philosophical musings, as we balance the scales of daily life, from handling neighborly dynamics to planning the ultimate snowboarding getaway. Discover how we approach the delicate dance between responsibility and freedom, setting 'traps' for ourselves to stay motivated. It's a blend of raw reflections and light-hearted banter as we tackle life's bigger questions without losing sight of the small joys, like finding the perfect snow-covered slope. Join us as we delve into these topics and share the laughs, lessons, and occasional gripes from our own experiences.
