The Videographer's Digest Louis Luong

I reached out to Vickie Eisenstein a couple of weeks ago, and I can't believe she agreed to come be a guest on this episode. She is prolific in her content creator journey, has had so many years of experience in hosting, producing, and sharing content on social media, and is overall just a joy to speak with. We dive into all of this and more - including some pitfalls to avoid - in today's episode.

Hey everyone! This week, I'm uploading a very old interview I recorded with Brian Estacio in August of 2021. Brian was looking for some advice on running a video production business, so we hopped on a call and I shared some advice that helped me get to where I am today! Even though this was filmed almost 1.5 years ago, a lot of what I said is still relevant now in 2023. Also, because this was filmed on an older setup and Brian was a Zoom guest, the audio quality may not sound normal. But, I did use Adobe Podcast AI to try and recover it... Let me know if you notice any quality differences!

Hey everyone! This week I didn't have a guest interview, so I decided to give you a straight-to-microphone tutorial on how to start up a podcast of your own from scratch! I go over everything from gear to sourcing guests to how to create cover art to podcast distribution in this episode.



Once again, please let me know your thoughts and opinions on this episode! I'm trying all different types of formats out and experimenting at the moment, so (mostly) all feedback is good feedback :)

Today I have the honor and pleasure of interviewing Max Balter, a well-experienced film director who just moved to Los Angeles. We talk about the differences between the Ukrainian film industry and Hollywood, how to succeed in an industry as competitive as film, and the mindsets Max adopted in order to achieve his goals. He's also just such an incredibly nice and humble guy. Just wanted to say that here in this description because why not? It's my show.

In this episode, a good friend and collaborator of mine, Caden Turner, talks about the trials and tribulations of what it's like being a YouTuber, Twitch Streamer, and Meme Page connoisseur. We reminisce on old projects, he talks about his struggles with virality, and he debates on whether the journey was worth the strife.

Here's a conversation I had with my friend, exceptional photographer & videographer, Michael Cummings. Michael is one year my junior and is currently on a very similar path to me when I was in his position - especially now that he's a senior at Drake University. We talk about the trials & tribulations of creating content, how we've learned what we've learned, and how we've been trying to balance our regular lives with our professional ones.
