Samuel's EQUIPMENT

Getting started as a filmmaker is very complicated. Theres so much to know! Let me help you. Here, I'll be breaking down the gear I use and recommend. Take advantage of this and learn from my mistakes. 

Why Honeybook for your Creative Business?

Honeybook is the number 1 CRM software that I recommend to anyone who manages a business. It's simple, it's clean, it's professional, and it's a life saver.

​

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management - and in the business of Wedding Videography, the Customer Relationship should be your number 1 priority. Honeybook helps you stay organized with your clients. It handles all of your inquiries, contact forms, invoices, price sheets, brochures, payments, calendars, and so much more. â€‹

​

I'd be lost without Honeybook. It's been one of the absolute best investments I've ever made to elevate my brand and my business.

FULL TIME FILMMAKER

Just 1 year ago, there I was working my 9-5 job shooting film on the side, trying to figure out how to build the skills necessary to live the life I wanted and have the time to spend with the people I loved most. I felt discouraged until my friend introduced me to the Ultimate Online Film School, Full Time Filmmaker, taught by Parker Walbeck - a filmmaking legend who had traveled the world with nothing but his camera.

​

I was apprehensive at first, but I quickly understood that if I wanted people to invest in me, I needed to be willing to invest in my business. I took the leap and joined Parker's community. 

​

Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, has been a greater contribution to my success than Full Time Filmmaker. Parker teaches how to shoot, edit, run a successful business and SO MUCH MORE!

​

Within just 5 months of joining Full Time Filmmaker, I was able to quit my day-job and become a Full Time Wedding Filmmaker.

Why I use Artlist.io to license my music

Artlist has some of the best music for commercial, personal, and passion projects. The best part about it is you can use the songs on any website for any reason. There are so many music licensing websites that restrict what you can use the song for. OR you will have to pay hundreds of dollars just to use it for what you need it for. Artlist leads the industry in having the best music with no restrictions. 

​

I use them for all my commercial work and especially anything I post on youtube for my other businesses. 100% worth it to have a subscription with them.

Why I use MusicBed to license my music

How often do you hear about filmmakers getting sued for using unlicensed music? Not often right... BUT IT DOES HAPPEN. and the legal fees have the potential to destroy your business. Im talking $15,000 fines. I use MusicBed because why in the world would you even risk it. 

​

Okay, okay... thats not the only reason. MusicBed has one of the best selections of wedding/everything music Ive ever seen. Plus I love the fact that you can ask their customer support and they will literally find you the perfect song for your film. I LOVE THEM. Use them.
