Would like to see some of that old work, left us hanging in this one!

@thefutur 7 лет назад

we will be recording this episode soon.

@ThatCrookedMind 7 лет назад

I just love these types of videos. It's great to have a look beyond the actual work that happens inside of and agency or studio.

The best channel I've ever had the good fortune of chancing on. TheFutur team, please don't stop doing what you're doing. You are legitimately changing people's lives.

@thefutur 7 лет назад

won't stop. can't stop.

@7phazmac 7 лет назад

Love these kind of videos :) Cant wait for Chris'!

@ryanmoore8675 7 лет назад

will we be able to see the portfolio(s) sometime? as an incoming freshman in college looking to be a designer it would be cool to see some of his college work :)

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

ryellek You better believe it. Working on that video next 😉

@thefutur 7 лет назад

ryellek Yep. He confirmed that he was able to recover the files.

@ryanmoore8675 7 лет назад

Greg Gunn awesome!

@kjemradio 7 лет назад

Just for an FYI Greg. There are PATA to SATA devices out there that would allow you to transfer the data from the drives. If you have access to an older computer that has the PATA connector, you can throw in there. PATA is not that old and was only retired a few years ago officially.

@thefutur 7 лет назад

thanks for the heads up.

@polkmusic 7 лет назад

Great video Greg. Your dog is so cute. Good stuff.

@vicgraphicdesign 7 лет назад

Thank you for sharing Greg. I find it challenging to focus and get work done after attending 2-3 meetings in a day. I assume this is not what a typical day looks like for you but I am curious to know how you focus to get work done after 5 meetings (or even after 2.)

@thefutur 7 лет назад

the higher you climb the less work you do. you are required to manage teams and clients.

@cuggles4668 7 лет назад

Great video Greg! Would love to see more videos from you!

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

Clayo Creative Thanks! I plan on making plenty more.

@cuggles4668 7 лет назад

Awesome! I aspire to be a creative director some day. I went to school for graphic design and management and work hard everyday in order to teach myself about all aspects of the commercial arts industry. Do you have any advice of what steps could be beneficial to get to that position?

@travelmoustache 7 лет назад

I second this, very good editing and well tied story. Some Casey influences here and there

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

Yes. Firstly, don't chase a title. I cover this question in an FAQ on my site if you're interested www.ggunn.com/faq#anchor-Q1

@cuggles4668 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@Sandslash19 6 лет назад

I miss these vlogs. Do more like these. Please!!!

@yasminali422 7 лет назад

This is really great stuff. I'm working on my own graphic design "life" (scared), but I've been going through all of these videos and it's really pumping me up and getting me to think things through before going out there in the design world. I don't know what the future holds (pun intended I guess lol ;)) but hopefully it's good. Thanks!

@kamilamusinova7689 7 лет назад

Hi Chris, thank you so much for this channel is there an episode about how the meetings in blind are going on, or how do you share responsibilities between employees?

@thefutur 7 лет назад

working on some.

@theBrandonShirley 7 лет назад

Have to appreciate Greg rocking the Ray Bans and morning optimism. Greg, I am curious is there a milestone or experience in your life/career that you attribute your current role with? Appreciate the work you all do and the honesty shown in these subtle glimpses into the life at Blind. Really makes for a great recruitment tool. I am certain many others besides myself see these and look for similar work experiences for themselves. Keep up the great work!

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words, Brandon. I've been fortunate in a lot of ways to be where I am. If I look back on my path, the most consistent thing I see is failure. Or progress, as I like to call it. I started a band, took it as far as I could, but didn't make it big (failure #1). As a result I went to school and then started an animation studio. We did well, but didn't survive the market crash (failure #2). As a result of that, I moved to Blind and continued my education-thanks to Chris.

@theBrandonShirley 7 лет назад

Thank you for sharing, Greg. I am thankful to see a likeminded perception of "failure". It is a conscience effort on my part to find situations where I can fail. Failure is such a powerful sign that learning is still yet to be done. Just remember never to fail in Destiny or Roth might have a few anecdotes in a futur(e) video.

@thefutur 7 лет назад

lol. the Destiny reference.

@travelmoustache 7 лет назад

dogs, beautiful clips and editing, very nice story. 10 out of 10 sir

@Spiritofabrand 7 лет назад

Greg, be my mentor Greg. :) thanks for taking the time to make and share these btw. Im looking forward to that animation (?) portfolio.

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

Happy to help if you have a specific question! I'm working on the My First Portfolio idea-stay tuned :)

@ghmasterjj 7 лет назад

Awesome video! Maybe we'll get Chris for the season finale 😂

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

Roy Thanks! I hope we get to see Chris’ video too.

@thefutur 7 лет назад

sure. but there are still many in the office that need to make their video first.

@MrInsider33 7 лет назад

I don't know what I love most about the Snapshots. Is it the dope intro? The authenticity? The insight? It's just nice overall. By the way Chris, still hyped for the 2D Animation tutorials. ;)

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

2D animation tutorials is my jam-what are you interested in seeing?

@MrInsider33 7 лет назад

Greg Gunn Thats music in my ears. I know some stuff in motion graphics, but i wonder how to animate a charater for example. Couldn't find any good tutorials on this either (Except for flash tutorials).

@martinlemaire7794 7 лет назад

I'd love to see some character animation aswell :))

@MustafaGerdanTR 7 лет назад

Hey Greg, you must do more videos man. You are great at this!

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

Thanks! I plan on it. Any suggestions for topics you'd like to see?

@MustafaGerdanTR 7 лет назад

Greg Gunn I'd love to see the process of your work with the team but I suggest you to obtain your target audience first. Then you find out what they like to watch and create content acc.

@WaelMohammed 7 лет назад

Amazing day.. :) great guys

@raboinse 7 лет назад

I like this video Greg! I hope this doesn't offend you, but I'm kinda happy your life looks "normal". It looks like you actually "live" in your house and it's not a perfectly staged setup like I see in many vlogs out there. It comes off authentic.

@thefutur 7 лет назад

trying to keep it real. life isn't always sexy the way we imagine it to be.

@micaelsvntos 7 лет назад

@olekolok2739 3 года назад

@ragzm9794 7 лет назад

Very interesting. Greg how did you reduce the noise level from the video when shooting outdoors. Was there any external microphone .

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

Good question. I had an external mic attached to the top of my iphone rig. I forget the name of it, but it helped tremendously. I'm far from an audio expert, but I also did a little noise reduction in post.

@ragzm9794 7 лет назад

Greg Gunn - was that rode mic. Can u post the Pic of the kit how it is mounted with iPhone. What noise reduction application you use?

@thefutur 7 лет назад

Here's the mic rig. it's pretty awesome for android and iPhone use: amzn.to/2uW32gp

@ragzm9794 7 лет назад

The Futur - thanks and absolutely awesome rig

@ragzm9794 7 лет назад

Greg Gunn - hi purchased the rig and received today.i am getting some crackle sound while recording and also the mixer sometimes shows only one channel sound. Only when I press the mic harder am getting the two channels in the mixer. I am using iPhone 7plus. Can u advise me if am doing anything wrong.

@carla_the_strange7234 7 лет назад

@jan-albanrathjen2350 7 лет назад

So a Day in the life of a designer comprises of deconstructing old harddrives, going on meetings and no design work. Got it.

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

Every day is different. As a creative director, it's my responsibility (and biggest priority) to interface with the client, make sure we're aligned and that my team has clear direction. That day was back to back meetings.

@jgthomas123 7 лет назад

This was awesome plus nice to know there are Destiny fans like you out there! Woop woop!

10th Shazam attempt, I give up :/

@geoffrey5045 7 лет назад

this is freakin great; its super interesting to see other designers day one critique for the editor (sorry i like to pick on them) : just overlay the text stuff for context / corrections over the vid, instead of on a black bg (like at 4:04) its less jarring, keeps immersion, and you can do it in a creative / quirky way thats fun to watch that actually results in a net positive experience

@Ggunn 7 лет назад

Good suggestion. I'm not the best editor :/

@thefutur 7 лет назад

these videos are meant to be shot and edited by the designer.

@GMoney-B 3 года назад

While I’m grateful for the video and the time and effort to make it, I kind of have to agree with you. I didn’t really get much as far as what designers at blind do other than commute, talk on the phone, have meetings, eat yummy looking food and then go home. I did still enjoy it but kinda left me wanting to learn more still.
