Shifting Focus with John Bunn

🖥 🛒 Visit the How To Film Weddings Website & Shop: https://bit.ly/2X5PoSz Facebook ads don't work for me. Marketing on social media is a waste of money. Most all of us have said this from time to time. But what if we were just doing it wrong? What if there was a way to make more money, and find your ideal clients by using the tools created in Instagram and Facebook? We stumbled upon Max Sadik a f...

🖥 🛒 Visit the How To Film Weddings Website & Shop: https://bit.ly/2X5PoSz Nick and John sit down to answer YOUR questions. We went live inside of our Facebook Group (https://bit.ly/2DPCelB) and had YOU drop questions for us to discuss. We LOVE the interaction we get with you all in that group, especially in real time as we record. Each month we sit down for an hour to do this, and everyone seems...

While John was out at Venture Workshop, he sat down with David and Breanna from Archaius Creative to talk to them about what all they were teaching at the workshop, and to hear a little more about what they can offer to our community. If you don't know, they are and editing house based in Southern California with 15 team members to help come alongside you as an extension of your team. They can cul...

We have all been there. We wake up, open up our banking app, and see a negative balance. We frantically try to figure out what we can sell, what isn't bolted down at our house, and we wonder why we ever got into business for ourselves in the first place. It sucks. Straight up can drive someone to a state of depression if you aren't careful. So what do we do to make sure this never happens again? E...

Hold up, wait a minute. Did that just happen? We are still pinching ourselves to make sure this really happened. John was able to sit down with ALL of the speakers from Venture Workshop (https://bit.ly/2VEjdwV) for a LIVE Q&A in front of all of the attendees. We took questions from our Facebook Group (https://bit.ly/2DPCelB), our Instagram page (http://bit.ly/2z2NuIA), and we took questions from t...

We are pumped to release this brand new episode of the How To Film Weddings Podcast! This week is a recording from our LIVE Facebook Q&A we had in April. John and Nick sat down to answer any and every question that was thrown our way. We love our Facebook community, and are amazed at how fast it has grown. We are now able to do things like this, where YOU the listener can help us create content th...

Not going to lie, we pretty much just laughed and cut up for an hour when we talked to Mac and Erin from Hello Tomorrow Films. They are so full of personality, and it is refreshing. To be honest, they felt like friends. Which is exactly what we talked about with them. How to infuse your personality into your brand. How to make yourself stand out and be attractive to the IDEAL clients for you. John...

$0 to $100,000 in 2 years. That is what Jake Weisler has done with his business. Is this typical? Not at all. So how did he do it? Spoiler alert, he put in a TON of work, has incredible films, and knows how to build his brand (mainly on Instagram). Don't worry, we talk through exactly what he has done to grow his business in a relatively short amount of time. We talk about it on the podcast all of...

We might be a little too excited about this week's episode of The How To Film Weddings Podcast. Joining us today are Jay and Mack, from Jay and Mack Films. This husband and wife team is based in San Diego, California, and has come out of nowhere and quickly become one of the most talented crews out there. The style and versatility that they bring to their edits is so unique and creative that it wi...

Let's be honest, most of us suck when it comes to capturing clean audio on the wedding day. It's something that videographers really don't take enough time to really pay attention to when they get started. We just get what we can, and try to work with it. But more and more of us are really diving into how to get the best audio possible for our couples. What microphones should you use? How can you...

John was able to go to WPPI in Las Vegas this year, and scope out all of the new things they are doing for the Wedding Videography community. A couple hours after flying in, John sat down with Charlie Hilbrant, of Charlie Hilbrant films to talk. It was a bit weird, as it was the first in-person podcast that we have done before. (Much easier to edit by the way). We decided to record the podcast rig...

Not gonna lie, John fangirled out a little bit when we had Henry Martens from The Brothers Martens on the Podcast. If you haven't followed Henry's work, it is in a league of its own. Not only are the color grade and shot selection top notch, Henry brings in sound design and incredible edits to make true wedding FILMS. This isn't just a recap of the day, it is a film that constantly pushes the limi...

In today's podcast, Nick sits down with John to discuss how John is earning an additional 6 figure income by adding a photographer to his team. Yep, you read that right! You might be thinking to yourself, "I don't want to add photography to my business." That is totally fine. We still think this podcast will be super helpful for you. By adding a photographer, John has created another revenue strea...

So excited about this week's How To Film Weddings Podcast with McKenzie Miller. She has been shooting weddings for over 10 years, and has built a brand in NYC that is pushing the limits in quality, and in budgets. She hasn't jumped onto the trends, and has maintained a consistent "classic" look in her films. We talk to McKenzie about keeping a timeless look to her films, what she wished she would...

Not gonna lie, we are stoked about this new LIVE Q&A series! In our continued effort to keep fresh and relatable content, we came up with the idea to do a LIVE Q&A in our How To Film Weddings Facebook Group (if you haven't joined, you can do so here: https://bit.ly/2DPCelB). We posted in the group, asking questions from YOU our listener, and we were blown away by all of the questions and comments....

Excited to drop a brand new podcast, with someone you may not know quite yet. Nick sits down with Leslee Layton, an Oklahoma based wedding film maker, to chat about all of the things when it came to planning her own wedding. Through the stressful process, she has a lot to talk about that could help you, even if you are already married, or not yet married. If you are in the wedding filmmaking indus...

Your work isn't the most important thing. Let that sink in for a second. How many people do you know that have AMAZING work, but only get a couple hundred views on their videos? Why is this? When it comes down to it, a LOT of people focus solely on the creative side of their business, and think everything else will just work out. They think that if they make good enough work, people will come floc...

Boy oh boy, do we have a treat for you today! Having White in Revery on the How To Film Weddings Podcast means that we have officially arrived. We are officially rock stars. Don't worry, our heads aren't getting too big over here. We will probably go from dozens of listeners to several dozens of listeners. But in all seriousness, we were so excited to chat with Kristine and Calen Rhome, of White i...

Hold onto your Cowboy hats, we have another Texan on the Podcast today! Nick and John sit down with the man himself, Jordan Bunch, to catch up and talk about all of the things that he is doing these days. Entrepreneurship runs through his veins. He is always building a new brand, or working on getting more business. This is the guy that started the Wedding Film Academy Podcast, and has had over 10...

Do you ever feel like you are just editing all of the time, you don't have any fresh ideas, and that your films suck? Yeah, we do that too. You're not alone. What it really comes down to, is that you have to make sure you don't get yourself stuck in a rut. You can't just look at what others are doing, and say "oh, I need to do it that way." We are so very excited to share with you our How To Film...

Not going to like, I (John) was a wee bit nervous to interview Patrick Moreau, from Muse Storytelling. To me, he is sort of a legend. Not only has the guy done so much for the wedding industry with tutorials, and story telling. But he has filmed some of the most incredible stories that the world has to offer. His company, StillMotion, began over a decade ago, and they literally changed the entire...

Have you ever watched a wedding film and just thought, "this is boring?" Everything is pretty, but there is just nothing special about it? Do you feel like you are in a rut when it comes to your shooting and editing? This just might be the podcast for you. Nick and John sit down with Matt Koza, from Matt Koza Cinema (http://bit.ly/2HByhop) to talk about how he creates such visually stunning films....

We have to admit, the first time that Matt Johnson commented on one of our videos, we freaked out a little bit. The great and powerful Matt Johnson knew who we were, and liked what we were doing. Just goes to show how cool this guy is. Legitimately a friend within 5 minutes of meeting the guy. That's probably why so many people follow him these days. Being able to sit down and chat with Matt was s...

Do we have a treat for you this week! We are joined by wedding film making legend Rob Adams. This guy dropped so many nuggets of wisdom during this week's episode and we can't wait for you to hear it. Rob Adams is based in the NYC / New Jersey area, but has traveled the world shooting weddings. His company focuses on luxury weddings, charging $10,000+ for his wedding films. Not only has he built a...

Wedding Film School. We all owe a lot to WFS for helping teach the Wedding Videographer's community so much with tutorials, behind the scenes, and gear reviews. Recently, Kraig Adams has handed off the baton to Scott McKenna. Scott has his own brand, and now is helping guide the Wedding Film School community as well. What are the plans for Wedding Film School moving into the future? What can we ex...
