After years of talking about it and countless times filming episodes, finally we’re starting to roll out some amazing episodes with my partner in crime @rmtshoots with our “Take 2 Podcast.” 

Our goals are to educate creators on how we’ve been able to be successful in an industry where there’s endless speed bumps to get over all these years. 

In this episode we talk about Raw footage requests and although they sound simple - until you realize people usually mean project files, color, audio, and future edits for free, isn’t always how it works. 

Save this if you’ve ever had a client ask for “just the raw.”

Comment with the wildest version of this request you’ve gotten.

The client sees “more content.”

We see:
hours of sorting, syncing, and color work
plugins, assets, and project structure they can’t always open
future opportunities to turn one shoot into 3–5 more deliverables

That’s why the real answer is never just yes or no.
It’s: what are they actually trying to make, and what is that worth?

Sometimes the move is raw.
Sometimes it’s a stringout.
Sometimes it’s a brand-new edit that makes way more sense for both sides.

Knowing the difference protects your work and usually gets the client a better result too.
What would you charge for raw?

#BTS from our shoot for @h1mediadesign for JBL Cove. There were some great graphics to animate. Usually I like a clean frame but the H1 team really knows their stuff.

@cinedriven & @iamtamlam were amazing as always for this shoot as we split the studio in two and we’re shooting merry-go-round style the entire day.

Had the privilege of working on this piece for @freestyleshai and @h1mediadesign for a new series of AKG microphones. 

I always loved when my musical and filmmaking worlds come together. There’s a few cameos in this one and it was playing all over the NAMM show which was awesome.

Come behind the scenes with the crew and I as we spend a few days at @thethermalclub inside the garage of the legendary @truspeed_autosport 

Over the course of several days, we worked side by side with Tyler and his incredible team to develop and capture content for the launch of TruSpeed Race Institute (TSRI).

TSRI was built to help bridge the gap between aspiring race mechanics and professional race teams by giving students hands-on training from industry professionals at one of the world’s premier private racing facilities and tracks. 

If you’ve ever dreamed of learning what it takes to work on professional race cars, be part of a pit crew, or build a career in motorsports, this is the place to do it.

Here’s a look behind the scenes at what went into bringing their vision to life. 🎬🏎️💨

TSRI will be launching soon and excited to see Tyler’s vision come to life!

I can’t even put into words how grateful I am that I bet on myself.

At first, it feels selfish to say that. But the truth is, this journey has never been about competing with anyone else. It’s always been YOU vs. YOU.

There have been more times than I can count where I questioned everything. I thought about walking away from the camera, getting a “normal” job, and taking the safe route. But every time, something kept pulling me back.

A huge part of that is Rob. Over the years we’ve had countless conversations, late nights brainstorming, figuring out how to generate leads, pushing each other when things weren’t clicking, and reminding one another why we started in the first place.

None of this happened overnight. It came from showing up, staying consistent, and refusing to quit when it would’ve been easier to.

If you’re chasing something that matters to you, keep going. The breakthrough usually comes right after the moment you feel like giving up. taken in New York City by @rmtshoots
