Episode 4! The first episode Ethan & Ryan clearly defined the topic of the podcast. Video & proper audio mixing to come later :) Ethan is thrilled with his ability to pick course teachers, and shares the things that he picked up from the 14 Day Filmmaker course that he’s most excited about. Also how the weekly office hours by the instructor Anthony Gallo showed how getting lots of practice doing scripted videos help you get better at doing live speaking too. An example how you can stay enthusiastic enjoying the creative work for years while making something successful and profitable. And some brilliant tips on how to avoid burnout while still being productive. 

The most educational part of the podcast so far, Ryan uses his ‘Radio Show’ podcast skills to analyze the usage of sound effects & cuts in a sample video, and together Ethan & Ryan put together their experiences with the emotional effects of color to both have better ideas how to use them than ever before. 

Ryan talks about his time working as a whiskey bartender, sharing how the sacrifices required and wisdom learned there are helping him learn content creation techniques. Then Ryans hatred for social media reveals the importance of sincerity, the hidden gems of brilliant content on Youtube, and what YouTube analytics teach us about where to focus on our time when learning & creating content.  

Finally Ethan gives Ryan a surprise gift to throw him into the deep end of content creation for the next episode.
