What was one of the toughest situations you had down there?
33:54
So one of the toughest ones, it was towards the end of filming the first Casamar and I knew I needed some type of tarpon jump that was gonna be prolific.
34:03
And I was like, I have to get this type of shot.
34:06
So me, Mark and Micah, who worked in the guiding business with me, we went out there and Mark's like, he just turned 60.
34:14
Micah is a little younger than me.
34:16
Mark owns an outdoor store in San Jose.
34:18
So we're all like just this tight knit group.

So how do we, how can you Do you have any advice on how to do that to creators, for creators? Because I think you naturally do that, but it's hard to explain to people how to do that.
7:10
How would you describe your filming style? Because I, I think it's quite different.
7:15
Yeah, I mean, y- well, you just did a film with me and Koji, and, and obviously you saw me running around in the jungle.
7:22
You know, like, I love...
7:23
The Amazon experience we had was unique because, you know, I'm shirtless, I'm barefoot for the whole time, and, like, that's my element, for real.
7:32
Um, I've always been drawn to, like, those types of adventures and just, like, going about it that way.
7:38
I, I'd say I describe my shooting style as, like, a Wild West shooting style 'cause I just taught myself all that stuff, all the stuff on YouTube and just beat my head against it.
7:46
Koji has a completely different, you know, technical background and, and cinematography background than me, and that's why I think we vibe so well.

What advice would you give to other videographers or creators or, um, I guess anybody really who wants to tell a story? What, what kind of advice would you give them to help them prepare in advance so that they're not rushing the ending and having it kind of fall on its face?
