the thing is if i keep it low i probably won't ever reach the point of switching to a part time job to have more time to spend on filming these videos.
besides of that i'm also putting my self in a risk making those videos. i know it sounds easy in theory to simply take a camera with me and film while doing it but there's a lot more to it.if i film during the day i always have to drive way longer distance to get far from town and smaller villages for those secluded areas to not run into random people or even the forest ranger / farmer. when not fiming it wouldn't really matter much cause if anyone comes by i could easilly drive away instantly since i have all my clothing packed up on the back of my bike. but thats of course not possible when filming, having my camera (canon 750d) out. so thats why i'd drive as far as possible for those secluded spots. and still theres a remaining risk to run into the forest ranger or farmer and get in trouble. thats why i rarely make videos during the day
but with filming at night i'd always have to carry a construction-site light and two heavy stands for mounting the camera and the light. also setting everything up and making sure camera settings and light are good always takes quite a while as i'm doing all that alone. So before i even get to do a shot i first spend lot of time by going back and forth between camera, light and bike, doing many adjustments for each shot before the actual filming can start
And even at night this plan isn't completely free of risks. I seen forest rangers being out there in the middle of the night two times by now. I was just lucky they where there before me and i could quickly turn around. Could have gone way worse if i had all my equipment set up and then they coming into the forestSo all those circumstances that comes with filming makes the stuck experience barely enjoyable to me and i'm always a bit tensed up when doing that. This is why i haven't been doing much filming at all besides the lack of time now.
i hope you guys can now understand what makes it so difficult creating this kind of content and why i'd charge this high amount but i appreciate all of you who subscribed so far and supporting me with this! -
Kevin, I totally get what you are saying. Struggling with a similar situation now. I enjoy wrestling (outside of getting my truck stuck); but have to drive a few 50 up to 200 miles to get matches etc. if I video them, there is a lot jof extra set up so my fee needs to be higher. Just a lot if decisions.
