Stop In The Name Of GLove - Stop Motion Filmmaker Graham Love
iTunes - RSS - mp3
You're 17. One of your stop motion films goes viral. A major TV channel calls with a commission. What do you? Start university as planned, or seize the moment and begin a freelance career for some of the biggest brands and broadcasters?
For Graham, all of his tiny precise filmic movements led to a sudden leap forward.
4 years on, as GLove Productions he's still having huge success. We chat creativity, finance, isolation and becoming a business straight out of school.
Key Takeaway Points
- Side projects can lead to dream work
- Seize the moment: if you've got an opportunity, why not take it?
- Just commercial work can sap your energy.. don’t forget what it is you love to do and perhaps use a creative side project to reinvigorate you
- Be savvy with your invoicing, bill 50% up front if possible
- Don’t take client feedback personally - they’re not saying it to get at you
