Sometimes this job is tough.

Annoying feedback.
Tight deadlines.
Projects that don’t feel
that exciting at first.

Tight deadlines.
Annoying feedback.
Not much room.

And without passion,
you probably just suffer through it.

But if you really love the craft,
there is always something
to focus on.
Something you can make better
And when that works,
even a boring project
can feel fulfilling.

To really do creative work,
you need flow.

And you need the room
to get into that flow.

Because film is rarely something
you do alone.

The team around you
makes a huge difference.

That’s why I feel lucky
to spend most of my time
with friends
who are also my colleagues.

People who make
even boring shoots
feel like a good day
with friends.

And I really believe
having fun on set
leads to better projects.

So go out there shoot and have fun!

People usually only see
the finished piece.

The frame.
The grade.
The location.
The final feeling.

What they don’t see
is everything before that.

Having an idea in your head
and realizing
it doesn’t look like that yet.

Trying again.
Changing things.
Testing a new technique.
Pushing the look
until it finally feels
like what you imagined.

That part can take hours.
Sometimes days.

And that’s usually
what makes the difference.

Just joking.

There was no other way up.

But honestly, your dayrate is never just the work you do on that day.

It’s about knowing what matters.
Seeing problems before they get expensive.
And making decisions other people can trust.

So if a client really values your time,
saving some of it suddenly makes sense.

Even with a helicopter.

You don’t have to be crazy good
when you start.

You just have to keep going
when it still feels messy.

Shoot the small stuff.
Try things out.
Mess it up.
Learn from it.

Most of the progress happens
because you didn’t stop.

At some point, nobody cares
how you learned it.

They only care about
what you deliver and how you are
to collaborate with.

So always focus on finishing your next project.
Connect with other filmmakers.
And get better every time.

You can watch 1000 hours of tutorials
and study every theory and rule out there.

But it only starts to click
when you actually try it.

Shoot something.
Even if you hate it at first.

You’ll see what works,
what doesn’t,
and what needs to change.

Get feedback.
Do it again.

That’s what actually teaches you.

I know what I’m looking for, what feels right and what doesn’t.
But when I have to show my work to someone from the industry, it suddenly feels way more personal.
Like I’m not just sending projects, I’m sending proof that I’m worth trusting.

The difference between how a shoot feels on location and how it turns out in the end couldn’t be bigger than this. I remember it was freezing cold, we had way too few people for what we had planned, and the weather was horrible. And then the horse… let’s just say it had its own vision for the day.

Learned a lot on this one, but the result in the end is pure love.

Big ups to @dariusbuesch and @nathaliefuerst for pulling us through.

Keep on going even when it is hard sometimes.
Stay disciplined and finish what you started.
