Filming for major brands is easy... 

This is something I'm super curious about. Let's hear your spec success stories! Share the videos below (if possible)

That spec ad looks more expensive than an actual ad. I love how you’ve researched into what works and what doesn’t. You’ve already done half the work for us. I’m here for it.

My entire corporate and commercial business brand is built on spec, love it and believe in it. we've seen 100% of our spec projects eventually bring ROI

i think you're a rad dude. glad to see you're doing well. i think spec work is really valuable when say you're stuck doing certain work in your field that you don't love and you'd like to move toward making stuff you do love

So many people make spec ads on tiktok for little to no budget. Pretty crazy how far tech has come but, the creativity is what really stands out

So Luke. I did not have any success on spec ads. Perhaps, because I have only done some spec ad-ish photos (?)I am a recovering filmmaker who turned to photography and I am looking back at film to have that integrated into my business model. Nonetheless, I wanted to say that I have watched your channel way back. And I really like the direction you are hiding right now. I especially love your approach of "I am not going to ask you to like this video.. yet". I think you are onto something here. I would appreciate if you can give some insight on the business side. Lead Gen, finding your market value. The real Biz Biz stuff. Hearing the part about you having footage running on Walmart tv's sounds like you found something quite valuable. I would also love it if you could be a guest on my podcast but you don't need to answer that, yet.

I genuinely don't know why you don't have more views. The shots in the video are insane. I've had no real success with spec ads, but I enjoy the shoots and the creative freedom.

Let's go for the competition!!

Looks awesome! Thanks for the useful info. I wanted to create something like this myself, but I have a question: Do you need any approval from that specific brand before posting your spec ad on your social media?

No wonder I can’t get work as I’m really into underwater toenail clipping actionsports.

Thanks for the video. I've been thinking about doing a spec ad, and wonder if there are any legal obstacles to using a recognized brand for a spec ad. Any thoughts on this?

I'm gonna to try this in 3d but I'm making a game so it's not to get a job it's just to hone new skills & experiment in different styles. The art community here is also pretty tight nit so it does help connecting with artists like a calling card

as a beginner I see no other way to get "in" to commercial than to just start doing it, even if not with those same brands

I came back but I can't subscribe because I am already subscribed a long time a ago ✌🏻😂

Some recent spec projects I've done were on nurses who were losing their jobs because of the jab mandates. There were no brands that I was targeting but it evolved into generating a bit of money via crowd funding, which I didn't expect. It's nothing like your example but it shares the same principle of initiative and the benefits that can come of it. But still, if you want to make a living I wouldn't suggest making content on social issues that fly against the mainstream grain. Make commercials for corporations that took part in the largest transfer of wealth in the history of mankind. That's how you stay afloat.

Hey Luke. An unrelated question here but you did a slow mo video on a canon camera a few years ago at 120fps, I think but can't find the video. Any idea what the video was called? Thanks!

nest week

Still waiting for the subscribe call.

How did you get John de Lancie for this? :-P

I won’t comment.

This is what I did and how I got rich.

Why is your shop a NFT marketplace? That stuff is useless
