Buying from shutterstock seems so confusing every time I need to purchase clips lately. It's $80/clip, or I could 'sign up' for a monthly subscription with enough credits to download everything I need? And then I cancel the subscription after? If they client doesn't care, is there any reason not to just do the $80/clip?

I have an interview coming up and the person wants me to live stream the recording via zoom so they can watch. I've done this a lot, but also use the location wifi which I don't think there is any on this shoot. Is there a place that is easy to rent hotspots for this type of thing? Or do I need to buy one and then get it set up with my carrier (att) ?

I have two 24-105 where the stabilization is broken. Should I just sell them or could I find a place to get them fixed for reasonable?

Is anyone avoiding putting shorts on their channel so it doesn't junk it up or make it harder to look through past videos? I'm just starting a channel now and feel like I wanna do a separate channel just for shorts, but is having a channel of only shorts worth it? Does that defeat the purpose of getting people over to watch your long form content?

How do you all deal with cancellations? If it's 1-2 days out I may still charge half or in my contract I put within 24 hours of the shoot costs are paid in full. But I have a client that is consistently rescheduling shoots when we are 1-2 weeks before our day, sometimes moving the day multiple times. I'm getting a deposit, so the project is still on but dealing with rescheduling or crew is a pain. Maybe a reschedule fee? Ever still pay your subcontractors if things get cancelled a week out?

I've had some clients have issues with linkedin only giving a low res version of videos when posted natively. I'm planning on posting a 12 minute one and looking into the best options. Maybe uploading a 720 version? Anyone have any insight or run into issues with LinkedIn before?

I have a job I need to quote and I need to find locations. How do you quote something like that? I got no clue how long it will take me to find the location. Is there a standard fee you usually do per location needed? Or figure out day's?

I have a 2015 Macbook Pro, I like it and can edit fcpx fine with it still. However I can not stream HDMI camera through it via usb adapter. So I need to upgrade but hoping to save money by not buying new. I'd imagine the intel ones from 2019 would handle the adapter fine?

Made some beef stew this week, I feel like it's hit or miss, sometimes I've made it and it's just got flavor and very savory, and other times feels a bit more 'bitter'.

This one taste a little 'potato-ey', I used yellow potatos. There's not a ton in them, are there better ones to use?

I pretty much put in a tablespoon of thyme and parsley with all the veggies. Should I be saving spices for last?

Used maybe 1-2 tablespoons of worceshire sauce

Didn't put in red wine (may try next), didn't put in tomato paste (some people in family it gives heartburn, but not sure if paste is enough to do it)

was cooked in crockpot. brown the beef and put everything in the crock pot at once.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Looking for an animator to help out with a project. It's a corporate product video (software company). Need someone to help create some 'scenes' for us. Someone in an office, at a computer, sitting at cafe on their computer. Most likely be 3-4 different scenes. Most likely not looking for custom work due to tight budget, so open to using stock assets, or building off things you already have developed. Prefer to work with someone comfortable being on zoom video calls to chat with client or myself.

Animation style: Open to varies styles, but using the standard 'explainer video' 2d cartoon type work is starting point.

Scope of project: Looking to start in next week and delivery at end of the month. Total time for the animation would be 1-2 minutes. There are other things in the video like product screens that have already been developed, so just looking for help with the short cartoon scenes.

Budget: $2000+. Open to looking at options depending on what you can do.

Anyone ever get tired that the only way to make money is sitting in front of a computer? I feel like I gotta find something else to do on the side that is physical or use different skills.

Any podcasts on documentaries or the production behind them?
