Why I still make videos for free.

Hello dear Daniel thank you for your time
Please I buy canon c300 mark ii to start making b roll video what lenses I need thank you so much for this channel ❤

Thought I just saw an SSG hoodie! So awesome

I 100% agree and some of my best content that I create is when I’m doing it for myself with no pressure

great video. I love to see how you made the video you talked about in this video. Thanks!

Does is count if Storyblocks pays you for this video? (but regardless love you content)

Am from Nigeria..Love your content..Pls make a Udemy course

Interesting. Shooting for free is important, and you are free to practice, but sometimes I agree to make commercial thing for the first time. Way more cheaper, but still I know someone expects the result. It motivates to deliver. And sometimes (almost all the time) clients do not see the can is different ;)

I'm a chef with 30 years of cooking experience, but zero experience in being a cameraman or editor. I would love any advice you have if you wanted to audit me!

Can you teach us how to color grade, I don’t understand the process of it. And adding luts

You got the right mindset, which will place you in the legendary category as suppose to mediocre🔥🙏🏽🔥

Have been a huge fan of yours. Insane creativity, take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Totally agree! Well said

LOVE the creativity as always, thanks for sharing.

wow

I always shoot Travel Stuff...now I want to try Product Videography like you!!

Totally agreed man but there's a big difference between doing something for free for your own benefit like practicing, learning and portfolio work, and doing free work for people who approached you to work for "exposure". My opinion, if you're going to make a practice video, use a brand so that you can sell it to them, pitch it to them, or demo it, if it works out in the end. But I feel like you should never ever ever make a free video for a client because "we cannot afford you but we love your work and want you to make a video for us" (unless you can can benefit from it with free merch or free ads on their platforms etc, but then technically you are being compensated for your work). Great video like always!

Great work mate and a great reminder to boot! Thanks for sharing.

This has been something that I've struggled with alot in the past and honestly the angle you've com at it in this video has been something that I'd never thought of before.. This video has been a joy to watch and thank you for sharing 👊💯

How do you hold cans while having them on a turn table in the air?

Let’s all congratulate Daniel for not creating a studio setup with the cookie cutter orange light on the left and blue light on the right with some random tube lights laying around like they fell from the ceiling.

you are inspirational ♥ Love from BD

Daniel, you're simply dope playa'! 👊🏽

I just still wonder, even if you put up a bunch of personal projects, as you call them "spec work", on your platforms to show what you can do, then what? I mean how do you get in contact with some brand's marketing companies to show them what you can do to possibly get them to hire you for a job? We cant just rely on the algorithm to drive companies to our platforms to discover us.
How do you go about finding clients and starting that process of conversation to get paid to do a job??

Been here for years, thank you for all you do for us creatives that are trying to learn!!

Next Level Spec Commercial you have here.

Hi! How do I register as an author on storyblocks ? I have a large portfolio on other video stocks, but it does not allow me to register here...

say, can you green mask the cans and replace them in post?

Bro thank you so much for your vids. You are an inspiration to me

Can’t believe I’m just now finding this channel 😭 been watching his videos for the past 2 days

Loved it. I agree with you there.

The work to result ratio on these kinds of projects make me go insane. Keep up the killer work Schiffer 👊🏽

This is so good .. Thank you!

Great tips! Desperately waiting for the tutorial of the Celcius ad, shoot and edit, PLEASE🙏🙏🙏

bro u should make a course 😢

Good video. I my self have started to do a very small amount of this my self to help grow my experience and can help me to learn lighting and such. Its worth doing a lot

I'm NOT into photography or video editing, but I love watching @danielschiffer videos. Thanks for inspiring me to explore the little creativity that I have.

Spec work… I never thought of that before. Should’ve been obvious to me but Wow! For some reason I keep thinking the only things I need to have in my portfolio are videos I’ve made solely for clients. Thank you for sharing this! I’ll make a huge difference for me.

You're an inspiration Daniel, thank you for the wise words and just overall insightful and creative content

wonderful sentiment in this video for sure. Love the reminder that practice should always continue. Thanks for always making some of the best videos and for sharing them with this creative world.
