I hosted the Wedding Film Academy Podcast!

This week I had the opportunity to not only be on a podcast, but host it! My good friend Jordan Bunch, the regular host of The Wedding Film Academy Podcast (which I was on back in March), reached out to me about interviewing him about a topic that I didn’t know much about: volume wedding film brands. Usually he runs the show but in this case, considering he wanted to talk about his own company, we decided it would be a great idea to have me ask the questions.

There are many ways to run a wedding film business, and one of the most interesting is the concept of a volume company – one that films hundreds of weddings per year, usually at a lower cost than competitors. To hear Jordan describe it, his company Ladybird Wedding Films is the Toyota of wedding filmmakers: cheap, reliable, and with good gas mileage (not sure about that last one in regards to wedding films). Because he runs this company very differently than how I run FilmStrong Productions, I ended up having a ton of questions about everything from video quality to business sustainability. I would highly recommend checking out the podcast on Jordan’s site or on iTunes if you would like to learn more about different styles of wedding filmmaking businesses.

Our Week In Video Podcast Interview

Our Week In Video

Back in September, a friendly British guy named Benjamin Bruton-Cox got in touch with me via Facebook about being a guest on his Podcast, “Our Week In Video.” As someone that loves listening to Podcasts, I was immediately excited and said “Yes!”, followed by “Wait, the next 2 weeks are going to be insanely busy for me.” Two weeks of delay turned into a month and a half, but finally, I had the chance to sit down and chat with Benjamin and his co-host Richard.

I realized about five minutes before Skype calling Benjamin that I actually had no idea what topics they wanted to cover, which I later learned was by design. Much like a discussion around the water cooler (which we’re all self employed, who owns a water cooler at home?), we covered a varying range of topics, from the A7Sii, to filming 360 degree weddings, to Final Cut vs. Premiere Pro. Both Benjamin and Richard really know their stuff, and it is obvious that they really enjoy talking about some of my favorite topics.

If you want to check it out, Episode 70 of the Our Week In Video Podcast is on iTunes. My interview portion starts at around 22 minutes in. You can also stream and download the episode from your web browser.

The Fearless Man Project

Yesterday episode 011 of The Fearless Man Project was released on iTunes with the title “Matt Johnson: God is cultivating us to be great!”. I would encourage you to give it a listen, write a review, and share your story with Shawn on The Fearless Man Project’s site. Shawn is making something great, and I think everyone should be a part of it.
