Hello and welcome to another Filmmaker’s diary!

Today I got a Drone!! A good one this time not a cheap one like last time.

Hadn’t had the chance to test it yet, because I went to a house to film and take some pictures… Think I might need to return tomorrow.

It was the first day, in 3 days that I haven’t written… that’s kinda sucky… But hey, I got a drone.

Also, it has been 3 days since I sent an email to that musician asking if was still on for us to make a music video… no answer… so I guess it’s officially gone.

Today I also sent a bunch of emails, to some businesses in order for me to make them a video… let’s see. It’s kinda the first time I’ve done it. Some time ago I sent some like 10 emails for real estate. So let’s see. Getting some clients and get the companies going is really a priority since I can not go back to the office, It’s all in now. (Only have 9 more days away from the office). So let’s hope I get at least one client before I go back…

The editing small videos people have not had the best communication… after a few days of silence, they say that they need to have a Skype setting to explain a few things. .. well it’s been a long time and a lot of work so far… and this is all I get. Let’s see how it goes tomorrow, but it’s been A LOT of work so far, a lot of time, a lot of messages and still no payment, still no confirmation the videos are being used ( and if not no pay ever) and for all this time that I’m away from the office, I’m not editing their videos.. like I thought I would… since I would get a bit more time and take advantage of that… to get two payments… And even when I get paid for the work so far, it won’t be that much… so far the ration time/money is completely not assuring… Let’s see this meeting. Hopefully, there will be contracts to sign, money to collect and more videos to make.

But hey, got a drone.
