When I first thought about making a video editing podcast with comedy producer and best friend Brian T Licata, I immediately thought about discussing AI because we learned a lot about AI together. We ended up talking about everything but AI. Brian hosts several comedy podcasts. We discussed much of what we learned by working together about the video industry, freelancing business tactics and productive workflows. Brian is much more experienced than I am with podcasts. I learned so much in this episode and I can’t wait to have him on again.Follow Brian:Yo Dom - https://www.youtube.com/@YoDomRated G - https://www.youtube.com/@UCTvgYOddOU0AvbgjSFfbiMQ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brianthevideoguy/https://www.briantlicata.com/Let's create together!www.devondennisstudios.comFollow me on IG!www.instagram.com/devondennisstudios

In Episode 5 filmmaker Jonathan Schroeder shares with me how he developed his system to streamline the production of wedding films. For the past two years Jonathan has filmed over 60 weddings each summer in Colorado. 

When I first met Jonathan I helped to film and by the end of the day he had instilled confidence in me to go film a wedding on my own the following weekend. Aside from filming weddings Jonathan makes music, climbs, snowboards and is a Kendama fanatic. We discuss all of these hobbies/obsessions and much more.
