Brother I turned 59 this year. Been making movies since 1997 and ten years as as theatrical LD before that - you know you're old when standing is a chore and you fall asleep everytime you sit down. Happy Birthday and congrats on 100K ! - Charlie
Dude. 45 here and I am only 3 years into my film production journey. I got to the point of burnout in my tech career and listening to your journey helps me believe it is still possible. Not in my 20s but definitely more advanced than someone in their 20s. Call it being process driven and life experienced. Lol. Happy birthday Luc!
Your calm, thoughtful, and expert advice keeps me coming back to your channel. The wisdom you gave about not "winning" anything is spot on. I was a software engineer for forty years and we used to say, "Programming is like pinball. The reward for doing it well is to be able to do it again." Happy Birthday and keep bringing us great content.
Roughly 5 years in, this pretty much mirrors my experience so far and makes hope to keep going and pushing now that things start really working out. Especially letting go of the “final destination” thinking was a key step this past year.
Thank you, man. Your video and channel are incredibly valuable. I started from zero at 30, but I’m keeping at it, learning and practicing quietly. Who knows-maybe one day I’ll be like you, turning my dream into my living.
40! Holy smokes man, I'm in my 50's (no surgeries here yet!) and still feel like I'm struggling to get off the ground lol. I keep hoping to run into you in person, so I can tell you how much I like these videos in the flesh. I may have told my 20 year old self to perhaps go deeper into film/video production straight away, but my heart pushed me toward other creative avenues at the time.
This video couldn’t have came out at a better time! The media company I work said they were closing their doors and now I’m taking the dive into free lancing and felt very overwhelmed! Cheers to your birthday! 🎉
Man! I love how your youtube channel is for photographers and filmmakers! I just graduated from a photo program and i’m excited to give freelancing a shot! Legit full time!
What should be m entioned: This colourful way of life made you so "grounded / down to earth" that you became one of the VERY FEW content creators in this niche who doesn't need to overact artificially to compensate a lack of self confidence! A pleasure to listen, watch, and learn from you since you appear so natural-normal. Congrats, man 🤘
Watching this at age 32 after working for 12 years as an AD, DA, Prod. Assistant, Docu DoP, Photographer and God knows what else, and honestly I feel like I haven't even started, with no clarity on my next project. I finally bought my own camera after all these years and trying to pitch my first feature. Thank you for your wonderful insights, Luc. You are inspiring.
Dude I feel like kissing you now😂😂😂48 years living as a bartender 2 kids and a lovely wife.You just spoke to the heart. I love these 'life lessons" stories. Happy birthday🎉🎉🎉
I'm 28 presently came in contact with working as a "camera man" in 2018 have been struggling to grow though I feel at times like the growth is a bit too slow I just keep trying. I presently have just a Sony A7iii wish i can get other gears to add up to but it's a bit of a challenge. I have so many stories in mind to tell but I'm challenged because I lack people to collaborate with. At times I wish I have some sort of financial support but it is quite a challenge being in my country and counting on photography. I see a lot of stories from your channel and feel like I can do more with my little but later i feel down. I just hope to rise enough one day. Lots of respect for you Mr luck and happiest new age.
@@LucForsyth Your video has reassured me that I have been traveling for about two years as a permanent traveler and still continue to make progress as a filmmaker. I'm currently in Asia.
Congrats on your 40th birthday and 100 k subs. I appreciate your experiences allot and I also want to get into the doc industry and pursuing my passion in filmmaking. Greetings from Germany!
Im 30, Im about to drop out from biology, however in my time in the degree, I have been so lucky to be awarded a couple grants to be for months in Costa Rica and Galápagos, doing fieldwork and as much filming while there as I could, none of both paths seems to go anywhere xD... Edit: the working while living like a feral animal rings home xD
definitely not! Just google on of those articles about people who started late in life to get some perspective. Samuel L Jackson didn't start until his 40's and it feels like that guy has been world famous forever...
