S1E9: Pre-Production 101 (For Solo Filmmakers & Freelancers)

Most freelance and event videographers skip pre-production—or they don’t really know where to even start. In this episode, I break down the creative side of pre-pro: how to collaborate with clients, build story-first shot lists, prep with clarity, and avoid chaos on shoot day. I also walk you through my exact personal process—the same one I’ve used on music videos, live events, and branded content. If you want your videos to hit harder, look more polished, and feel intentional from the very first frame… this episode is for you.

Plus, I announce something new: I’m creating a music industry sound effects pack—pyro, crowds, risers, CO2 blasts, and more. Newsletter subscribers get early access and a free sample pack, so don’t miss it 👇

Thank you so much for listening 🙏🏻
