I was connected with Amy from Northland Outpost about 2 months ago; there was a thread on facebook looking for a videographer to assist in creating a product video for an Amazon based selling company; I followed up with Amy within about 3 hours of the original post without expectation (many times people won't respond or messages come in over facebooks many facets and go unnoticed), Amy responded to me shortly after and we carried conversation over email and then via phone and I could tell she was a genuine person who wanted to grow her business and has that transformed mindset for success.
You can tell when you're working with someone whose seen around the corner and adjusts themselves to meet the next challenge with a strategy. Entrepreneurial people are fascinating to talk to and work with.
They sell eyewear products on AMAZON and they were seeking to produce a video for their blue light blocking glasses.
We set a schedule for a full day to shoot, prepped, planned and everything went really smooth. I got to meet her family, experience a day in their lives with them and film the experience in addition to a little directing and guerilla tactics that when you're used to running and gunning in your work you just go with the flow and make things work out.
We coordinated a family business video, a product review video and discussion video.
The additional talent took about a month to round them up how I needed them and then a few evenings of editing and wearing their product while working (in fact, I wear them nearly everytime I sit down to my pc now; I don't necessarily have to be editing anything or even be working into the night, I've had such an issue with working until I fall asleep at the pc or until my eyes are killing me from staring at my screens that I wear them even in the daytime).
I used to convince myself that sore eyes were a sign of hard work and that's what I wanted people to know me for so it was a badge of fortitude (wrong; it was screwing up my ability to sleep well).
So I'm wearing these bluelight blocking glasses now and I feel solid, and I would recommend you try them out if you're a social media acolyte or read stuff on your pc, phone, tablet. Yes, they have blue light blocking modes installed, but they're shit honestly; I've tried them and dare I say, I would know because I guarantee I spend 10X more time staring into Screens than you do (it's literally how I make a living), this isn't just my sales pitch. I'm being honest, try them out and feel the difference.
A selfie I took while wearing the glasses; I don't even need to wear glasses (20/20).
But my eyes are crucial for me to work, so I made the investment. Like if you need to buy gloves or Dr.Scholls inserts for your shoes or fungicide because you walked into a nasty house and picked up something (long story...shit happens...plan pre-emptively).
