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: When will you come to visit Belgium for a shoot? 🙂
Jason: We read in the blog about your last shoot together in Telluride, how Chase was concerned about cost over runs and the extension of the shoot due to the crappy weather. That’s great, and shows Chase’s professionalism to keep your budget needs in mind.
The question is, if the result of his work increases REI’s revenue or market share by a certain amount or %, whats the deal of an extra 10k or 2 to get er’ done? Do you feel its appropriate to pressure the artist in this way, when his prime concern should be output, not your pocket book.
Jason: ow do you handle this, and how did this convo happen in Telluride?
And Chase: how do you handle it when a CD / AD / client, confronts you with this, and can it affect the quality of your work?
Outside Q: Can you to post the final product for REI – Telluride on your blog, before REI releases it commercially? Followers here would love to get the jump.
Chase — if you were going to Paris or Rome on a family vacation, and could only bring a few lenses, what would they be?
For Video do you prefer Canon or Nikon and why?
For an aspiring DSLR Videographer to start his own business, what is the barebones equipment you would say is needed? What lenses are the first to get?
