Whenever I give a talk or host a show, my fav part is the Q&A. Rather than me guessing what I should share, you just ask away. Especially the hard questions that you can’t learn in photography books: landing clients, overcoming failures, working with challenging clients, legal, gear, portfolio questions, whatever it might be. In this year’s first #AskChase version of chasejarvisLIVE, I got thru about 40 of your questions in the 90 min show. This time around, I’m hoping to double that, plus we’re adding another dimension.
The first half of the show will be me answering any questions you can put in the comments below. Rapid fire, as many as I can get thru. So don’t be shy, ask anything you’d like below and I’ll give you a shout out for asking it and do my best to answer with the dirty truth. But catch this: the second half of the show, I’ll have a guest with me. The Associate Creative Director for REI, Jason Sutherland. If you have been ignoring me are new here, then you’ll need to scroll back a bit and read the Diary of a Shoot I just wrapped up, where I chronicled my 9 day campaign shoot with them. Jason will be on hand to answer your specific questions, but also any/all your general questions about whatever you want to know from a client CD/AD perspective. Hopefully this is as good as gold.
Who: You, Me + guest Creative Director Jason Sutherland + a worldwide gathering of creatives
What: YOUR questions answered for 90 minutes
When: this coming Wednesday, April 6th at 10:00am Seattle time (1pm NYC or GMT -8)
Where: just visit www.chasejarvis.com/LIVE
How to get your questions on the show: ASK THEM IN THE COMMENTS BELOW
We will take some questions LIVE via the #cjlive or #AskChase hashtag on Twitter (follow @chasejarvis here) during the broadcast, however, so that we can be organized and get through as many questions as possible, you’re far more likely to get your questions answered by framing them below in the comments.
It’s free, it’s LIVE, and apologies but this video will not be re-posted in it’s entirety, so please tune in LIVE if you can. (We’re still in a technical gear/podcast/youtube transition at the moment, figuring some stuff out.) Hope to see you Wednesday. The more people participate, the more interesting it will be for everyone involved. Feel free to invite anyone you’d like to join the party.
Chase–thanks for the great blog posts and offering to share your expertise with the masses!
Question: Could you please comment generally on your video setup for the D7000–for example, do you use manual or autofocus, A or S mode (or something else), 30 or 24 fps etc.
Honestly, I’m struck by the “super” high quality videos you (and others) seem to be able to get out of this camera while I struggle to produce stuff that honestly, looks pretty bad! I realize that post processing plays a role here as well, but any general setup/top 10 tips type comments you could make on using the D7000 for video capture would be awesome.
Thanks a bunch!
What type of hand held video stabilizer do you use. I thought I saw a merlin in some of your raw video footage.
Hi Chase
Trying to get work in two different cities, New York where I currently live and Atlanta where I’m moving.
When trying to get work from commercial or other clients in these cities, do you think it’s a good idea to invest your work into a small book to send to the particular clients I’m trying to get work from or just send them a link to my online portfolio with say an email. How did you do it?
Thanks for the open forum.
QUESTION : COLOUR Calibration :
How to find the optimal balance between MAC and WIN screens ?. I edit on MAC and as soon as I see it on a different monitor (win ), it looks faded and entirely a different photo.
I understand there would be differences that cannot be controlled and if it was printing we can use the printer color file for caliberation, however for a general look and feel of the photos across net and systems what can we do, or what do you do ?
Thanks.
Saneesh.
ooo excellent question! I hope he answers!
I personally just started the steep learning curve of colour calibration, and first thing Ive done is create a new ICC profile on my mac by calibrating the monitor with Xrite’s product. You could calibrate the other monitors as well?
Chase will know way more!
