2 things that stood out to me: 1. Even in 2022, face to face meetings generate more business than cold messages/emails to prospective clients. 2. Generate a portfolio of the kind of work you want to do so it’s ready to show a client when you get a chance. Then they can see their own industry reflected in your work.

@eladbari Год назад

Feels like face to face meetings are more random (stepping into a store and offering yourself etc). Did you manage to arrange a meeting with a client you actually targeted and wanted to work with? If so, then how did you pull it off?

@BrendanEvan Год назад

@@eladbari not sure if you’re asking me or @matteo but I’ve seen success with in-person connections not necessarily face to face ones. So a friend of a friend needs photos, I get referred, and we do business via email.

@eladbari Год назад

@@BrendanEvan yeah, buddy, I replied to your comment. You said face to face meetings are most prolific, and I agree. I just was asking how those personal meetings come to be. Did you manage to make an appointment with a client you set as a target to work with and if so- how did you pull it off

@joenicklo Год назад

Emails direct to clients (not other production companies) has worked for us. You just have to understand that it's a numbers game. Also, being a RU-vidr is just a negative in the eyes of gatekeepers with snobby attitudes. You don't want to work with them anyway.

@eladbari Год назад

How do you find their direct email and go beyond the production company. That's the question. Also, these clients, tho, still are used to work through those production companies as they arrange everything. So, you're saying that clients started working directly with you?

@kevinbatts2804 Год назад

I’m only in the third year of videography and I can tell you this is all 100% correct. Relationships and client networks are your bread and butter. It’s tough tough tough

@Moses_Kanneh Год назад

Great insight. I think people forget how important it is to build up your own community, a lot of people want to join something that is already built.

DJ to Filmmaker! Many of us out there haha - Fantastic - Everything I have learned 10 years + DJing has translated almost seamlessly to Filmmaking. Ambience, reading the room, tone, pace, posture, humility, energy, reaction, emotion, novelty etc.. list goes on.

@Roger-cb3fv Год назад

That's real. Marketing has always been a silent experience for me. Every client I've every had came via a network or referral. Frustrating. I totally agree about the DP "mate" problem too.

@MySouLisBlue Год назад

not sure at all if it's correct english but it's the best "reality check network advice " video i've seen so far. i mean it's seems so natural to "grow" or to work where you are, where your connections are, just ... yes simply natural

Grazie Matteo, sempre una garanzia

Great video as always ! I’m new in this industry and this tips are so helpful. Were you already aware about the style of video you would shot back of the day, or you did a little bit of everything at the beginning of your career?

@matteobertoli Год назад

Bit of everything!

@davidbauer5171 Год назад

Thanks for the tips and sharing your experience Matteo! Just wanted to share my feedback since following your material for the past year. I think you have a great teaching gift and maybe there are more opportunities for you as well in your new location to network through this avenue as well. I feel like maybe there are some strong doors that would open for you in that arena since you flow so well in that gifting. Just some thoughts and encouragement in this new season for you in Europe. Once again thanks for all the videos! Cheers👍

Out in money and shoot videos in the line of the clients you would like to get these are great tips

@simonecoppola11 Год назад

Ciao Matteo! Grazie mille per i tuoi contenuti, sono sempre super interessanti ed utili. Come te anche io mi sono ritrovato spesso nella situazione di essere completamente ghostato da diverse case di produzione o professionisti. È molto svilente perché spesso ci si propone anche solamente per andare a dare una piccola mano sui set, anche a costo zero, ma ho notato che qui in Italia molti gruppi di lavoro tendono a chiudersi in se stessi per pura gelosia o paura di competizione/creare un nuovo competitor non lasciando la possibilità a giovani filmmakers di immettersi nell'industria e fare networking. Questo atteggiamento è così fastidioso che alla fine uno è obbligato a creare il proprio team e farsi le ossa da solo, studiando e sbagliando, ma è veramente triste non avere neanche la possibilità di mettersi in gioco...

@Carlos_A_Costa Год назад

Hi Matteo, good content mate :) just curious: how did you manage to get a 5k budget accepted if you only did filmmaking at the disco, at that time? Didnt the client request portfolio for that amount of money? Im from Portugal as well, someday we should grab a beer. Cheers!

@FreshWaterLake Год назад

Hi Matteo, did you enjoy living in Tampa and do you think there is much opportunity there for video production? Also, do you think the LA production scene will dissolve now that one can live anywhere and do amazing work? Thanks!

@Chilenoreal Год назад

@aperturefilm Год назад

Just a quick question about your LUTs, I have the naturel Rec709 but i notice there is another pack on ur site calls creative lut, Im I missing out any other kinds ?

@matteobertoli Год назад

What do you mean? Natural is just the conversion, the creative is a creative collection with more luts ;)

@ginotarabotto Год назад

Thank you for sharing Matteo, very inspiring. Would love to hear your take on what LA is like for indie filmmakers. And have you had situations early in your career where a client wanted to go a creative direction that you did not like, how do you deal with that?
