a REAL day in the life of a freelance filmmaker - 2024

Never thought I would find a day in the life that actually just works through my own day. This is awesome!

I love it ! inspiration to me.
A big hug from the country say Brazil!

Damn, this felt so relatable. Cheers to that.

Watched this during a rainy evening. What a movie this video is.

On point dawg 🙌

This was an awesome video Ryan! Thanks for the openness.

hi ryan!!!

great video. i’m going through so many of the same things. i moved out to LA 3 months ago and it’s been as you describe.

the amount of people you meet is extraordinary. the idea of there being infinite work is something i was just thinking about. what do behave like when the tasks are never ending? you slow down. it’s about sustainability.

i think you’ve inspired me to make my own “moving to LA video.” hopefully mine will be as tastefully done as this one 🤞

Nice scenery. Good work, may the Lord bless your marriage and praises be to Jesus always

Clean narrative both audio wise and visually. Thank you for sharing your experience so far in L.A with us. I hope you get to enjoy the opportunities it brings and bask in bliss.

So many great takeaways from this!

the editing is beautiful - can only imagine how much time it took you.

Having kids helps with getting up early…no choice! 😂

Been a silent watcher for well over 3 years now and this video was fabulous. As a freelance photog, film, and editor I completely understand this entire video... those that know - know. Well done, and thanks for all the content.

thanks for sharing your experience

Sick vid man! Everything about this is just... chefs kiss! Loved it!

Dang, this is great Ryan. Gonna need that breakdown asap!

Beautiful work, as always, I especially love the vibe in this one. My wife and I just celebrated our eighth anniversary and your comments about how the little things matter totally rings through for us. It’s amazing how many challenges we can take on as a team when we are confident in unwavering support from one another. Glad you have your priorities right; don’t let the hustle culture grab you by the throat. Keep it up.

Ultra inspiring.. as always bro

The change of focus from you to your wife on the couch to your cat playing with SD cards, the little details. This was sooo fire bro.

I still go back and watch the last day in the life from time to time. Always was one of my favorites videos by you. And somehow you took it up a notch with this one. Always a pleasure watching what you make! Can’t for the next one Ryan!

could you please share how much time you have to reserver for a video like that? concept, shooting (is the broll shot or do you have a pool of broll of you?) would mean a lot to me if you could share these infos in the breakdown🙏🏻 thank you
like the video a lot! gained a sub!

AHAHA i feel the boxes in the corridor😂

I loved that you showed the part where you forgot to put in a memory card. Happens too much to me when I record myself! I applaud you for showing the real unnoticed aspects of creating. Awesome stuff.

I'm the same aha, I lock in when the normal 3pm-5pm ish days are over for some...

This was beautiful man. Great hanging out with ya last week!

The kittens .......... are they 10 or 12 bit ? 🥳

So well done. Love the calm storytelling and the shots. Let's see more of this!

a ton of things need to get done. then it's time to eat, sleep :) - that's the day.

moved to L.A a week after I graduated highschool celebrated my 19th birthday here and starting a content creative company I grew up in a small town in New Jersey and I will admit the rain and melancholy feeling is something i miss so much it's weird having everyday where the weather is so nice back home when it rained a since of comfort was given knowing "today is a slow day" or "today is a day for a reset" it seems like in L.A it's always GO GO GO GO or you technically lose out on opportunities etc

Great video man !

Can confirm this is what a day in Ryan's life looks like because I have been following him in the shadows for the past 3 years.

Man, I'm exactly the same with my mornings. Still feel ashamed about it a little, waking up late. But I just work better in the evenings. Great Day in the life, feels very similar. Keep it up

You did not have to go this hard for a day in the life video bro ❤ also thanks for sending your condolences about my dad, you and Kylee are so kind and have shown me lots of love, truly appreciate it, keep inspiring me to make great content bro!

my goodness man the video quality is insane you need to make a. course so I can take it

Finally a day in the life video. I don't why but I keep waiting for these videos 😅 love your visuals.

Gorgeous video, great insights. Thanks Ryan

this sounds like a song you should listen to by Ben Rector (what makes a man) no joke.. that song will clear tings up in your head a bit lol

Nah these frames were beautiful!

just art.

definitely the best of your catalogue, also probably the best of its likes.

Very honest and real video Ryan thanks that was refreshing!

Hey Ryan this was an amazing piece i love your storytelling i found it very relatable my girlfriend is from LA and im 28 and from RhodeIsland im a freelancer Video editor i deal with colorgrading and basic editing i plan on moving to LA by 2026 to pursue Cinematography/Colorgrading keep going my dude!!

This is by far the best day in the life videos I've seen. Excited for the breakdown!

Your work gave me the power to do it again thank you Ryan

how lame useless and boring is this video.... 🤦

Cat smack on the SD card gave me instant anxiety

Love the intentional shots and color grading of this video man 👌🏾
