Doesn’t matter what happens. I know where I’m heading and nothing will stop that. by @tanner.mccartney99

I stick to the plan not my mood.

October has been insane. We about to turn it up another notch though.

Time to hang on for the ride. by @tanner.mccartney99

This is how I set up a 2 camera angle interview.

This honestly was my first setting up something like this. All in all I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

The biggest thing is shooting on shadow side. If your key light is on the left side of your subject make sure your cameras are set up more on the right side since there’s a little more shadow on the right side of his face. This helps create a more moody/cinematic look.

Everything was edited and graded in Final Cut Pro.

Setting a goal is the easiest thing in the world to do. It’s not scary at all.

Creating the plan on how you are going to reach that goal is the scary part. That’s when it becomes real. That’s when you realize how much has to happen for that goal to become possible.

That’s also where the magic happens. It’s where you transform into a whole other person. It’s where you see how bad you actually want to achieve that specific goal.

This might be harsh but I believe so many people verbalize their goals just for the attention from the people around them. People love that dopamine hit that you get when someone says “wow, that’s a crazy goal”

That dopamine wears off quick and you are faced with the actual work that it takes to get there. Unfortunately I feel like 90% of the people just stop there. They never even start. The excitement wears off and they just repeat that process.

I refuse to be that person. I used to be that person and honestly, I still am at times.

But it’s days like these that I’m reminded how important it is to just focus on who I need to be right now. I don’t need to think about who I need to be in 2 months. I need to focus on this very moment. If you do that over and over and over again I promise you’ll make it further than you have ever been.

Shout out to @filmedbyaustin_ for filming for me today. I appreciate you bro!

As a videographer/filmmaker most of the time we know the vibe/story we want the viewer to walk away with. When I watch certain portions of videos they make feel something. It’s your job to bring that feeling out of the athlete you are working with.

I’m sure there are better ways of doing this but this is what I’m doing for my first mini doc that I’ve ever created. This is an efficient way of presenting it to the client so you can both be on the same page and they can understand the story that we are trying to tell/convey.

Let me know your thoughts on this and what you would do in this situation!

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

People say “life isn’t that serious” and to them I say “you probably aren’t actually living”

I reflect quite often. Recently I’ve been so damn proud of how far I’ve made it. I’m finding a confidence that I haven’t found before knowing that I will do what it takes. Not because I say so but because I have proven that to myself over the last handful of years.

I feel like I have an obligation to share my journey on here. Not because I want to flex but because I used to think none of this was possible. I used to be someone who had thoughts like

“Is something wrong with me?”
“Am I just lazy?”

Then one day I just decided to stop listening to those thoughts and go all in.

All in on chasing my dreams.

All in on trying to get better every day

All in on believing that if the desire is on my heart that I’m meant to pursue it

All in on trusting that failure is the only way to succeed

All in on trusting that the Lord will always provide

I think it’s safe to say it’s been working. Here are some frames of my life and some of my work from the last couple of weeks.

I’m feeling ready for another big week. by @tanner.mccartney99

This is a full breakdown of my rig that I used at @ironmantri Waco 70.3 this last weekend.

Going into it I knew I was going to have to build an efficient set up that is light but also maximizes my opportunities to capture as many shots/angles as possible.

This set up didn’t disappoint and got the job done.

Let me know your thoughts and what you would do differently!

Gear used
Sony A7siii

110 days out from my 1:30 half marathon attempt.

This training block has reminded me the importance of setting goals that genuinely scare you. There is no better way to build confidence than by having doubts and showing up and putting in the work anyways.

This is how we continue to grow. This is why we all should choose to set bit goals. It forces us to be someone greater than the current version of ourselves.

My only goal is to show up every day and give my all. Not just in running but in every single thing that I do. It’s not easy but it is always worth it.

The posting streak has come to an end.

Last week I accidentally fell asleep and forgot to post. My streak went on for 145 days. Nearly 5 months of posting daily. I learned so much and am going to still post very often.

When I say my life looks entirely different from when I started to now I’m not lying.

I went from having a few clients. To losing all of them for no reason that was my fault. To then signing a dream client then landing a position that I absolutely love and now I’m about to sign on a 3rd client which will then pretty much cap me.

I’m at a loss for words if I’m being honest. I always knew this was possible but you just never know if it’s going to work out like you’d hope. Safe to say, it’s working out just as I had hoped.

Thank you to everyone who interacted with my content or who has encouraged me through this journey. It means a ton.

Frames from the last couple weeks.

Had a suppressor demo that I got footage for out at @hogheavensporting
I was able to shoot a little bit at the end. It was a good time.

I linked up with @filmedbyaustin_ for the first time. Every creative needs to make it a priority to go out and meet other creatives. I can’t tell you how many creatives/videographers I’ve DMd to meet. It’s a game changer.

Training for a 1:30 half marathon. The speed workouts are brutal. Just trying to survive during these workouts. Finally noticing a good amount of fitness coming back. Been sitting at 20 miles a week for the last 5 weeks. Ready to build.

Work has been good. Posted another successful YouTube video one of my clients. The video is crushing. I’m learning a lot and being stretched right now to learn a few new things that I’m excited for. by @tanner.mccartney99

It’s more than just being fit. It’s about the mindset that it builds.

It’s about the traits that you acquire that then flow into all aspects of your life.

People say “I just don’t see the point in training hard? I don’t need to be in that good of shape to enjoy life.”

The fitness is just a bonus. Fitness for me is just a way to continue to develop traits that are within me. It’s a way for me to build more mental resilience so when life gets tough it doesn’t have to knock me on my ass every single time.

It’s more than miles. It’s a reminder to myself that no matter what I do I will always give my best effort because that is how you continuously grow. by @tanner.mccartney99
