Wow this video went by so fast, some really good info in there and looking forward to part two for sure. As someone who is at the point where they are looking into the idea of hiring on crew those parts were really helpful to hear. Wish there was more content like this talking about the business side of a video production company.

Thanks for doing this. Always interesting and a place for learning knowing how you build your business. I bet folks would be interested in hearing more in-depth on this. Good on ya. Keep it up!

@jptualla85 3 года назад

You guys are killing it, after 15yrs of not doing video work and focusing on opening my own brewery to suddenly being called to do video work because of covid (hard pause on brewery). I appreciate seeing you guys build a business and sharing you passion.

@moncharle9534 3 года назад

This was perfect timing for me to hear, I am just finalizing paperwork to sign an editor to my production house, and a business manager/sales person...have felt very intimidated by making sure they're taken care of but this was encouraging.

@BSCGDC 3 года назад

Knowing you two a bit, you undersell how hard you both worked to get where you are. There wasn’t any trick to the success of Threefold that I can see, just lots of hard work, strong talent and a dedication to turn out the best work possible. And being very nice people.

The timing on this is perfect. I just rented my first space outside of home, 700 sq ft. I already have a bunch of gear, lighting and grip equipment. I felt it was time to grow! I hope I can grow out of this space in 6 months. One question I have is how to move to a higher “tier” of high paying clients.

@paperdogmedia5137 Год назад

Congrats! I'm in a similar boat. How are you doing 1 year later? Enjoying that studio?

@gravity_media Год назад

@@paperdogmedia5137 Extremely rough. The hardest thing I have learned is that not having an editor will kill your production flow. I simply cannot keep up with the projects but am not making enough to hire an editor. On top of that it is really hard to find high paying clients in my area. My good paying jobs have all been out of state via other marketing companies that don't have a video production unit. Most of the time, my gear is sitting in a $300/month storage unit.

Hahaha k I've seen this video before a while back... and now rewatching it I just noticed you guys switching seats and the moustache-less Caleb in a few spots !!! Literally got me laughing out loud in that 30 second intro 🤣🤣

Any and all grip equipment including lighting equipment like Frames, floppy, c stands... What positions did you hire for? Looking at getting 2-3 people in my production company and not sure if I should go with all people with production skills or more on the editing/graphic design or marketing/sales department.

@drakeroby2064 2 года назад

one of the things I'm really curious about leans towards the legal and business side. You may have talked about it in the past, but since this is my first time seeing one of your videos I figure I might as well ask here. Did you file as an LLC or any sort of corporation when you were starting, and did you have any legal help in the beginning? I'm transitioning from freelancing with several prod. companies to starting my own company and am really looking for those first steps outside of gear and RTC.

1- any thoughts on adding non service work to you reel? Narrative? South Dakota Smear Campaigns? 2- How did you get by without the production truck? Does it have a nickname?
