Listen "#5 - DP & Editor Thomas Manning"
Episode Synopsis
Today’s guest is Thomas Manning, a Director of Photography and editor based out of Mesa Arizona
I’m super excited to have Thomas on the show because I’m a huge fan of his show/channel on YouTube, Epic Light Media. Currently, at the time of this recording, their channel is just shy of 100k subscribers and it is growing fast. They pack every single video with so much valuable content about lighting, story, and how to actually make money doing video work, so if you are not subscribed, you should because you are missing out.
Besides the Youtube Channel, Thomas is a talented DP who in my opinion has absolutely perfected the high key commercial look that a lot of clients are looking for and I think his work looks beautiful.
In this interview you’ll learn how a documentary about benjamin franklin inspires YouTube success, knowing when you are prepared to make a gear purchase for your camera ecosystem (disclaimer: this answer might hurt), seeking inspiration in places like a Gordon Ramsey masterclass, and how to network, find clients and recognize ideal opportunities for new work.
