And try to get to 10K a month to show you guys that you can do it. I also have a little bit of an interesting request. I I think you guys are definitely on to some. I'd probably pay you to do it. Are you guys looking to purchase a vehicle? Hey Stephen, my name is Cameron. What's your name? Jesse. You, if you can email. Yeah, we're not doing this. Well, this is day one of scaling an agency from literally zero to 10K a month. I'm going to try to do under 30 days. A little bit of context, run an agency currently, so I'm essentially starting a new one. We run an agency at over 100K a month with seven clients. They're all like higher ticket, high-paying clients. I just moved here to Scottdale, so I don't really know any businesses. And I'm going to go cold approach businesses and try to land them as clients and try to get to 10K a month just to show you guys that you can do it. You can move to a new city. You can do it in the city that you're at. You can do it in small cities. Going to go brainstorm, find out what businesses that we're going to go into and film for and try to get us clients. I'm probably going to do a range just to show you guys that it's possible with multiple businesses. I like dealerships the most, but dealerships are a little tougher. But they, hey, well, the whole reason that I'm doing this series is just to show you guys that it's possible. Show you that you can do it. And I'm going to try to be as transparent with all of it as I can. I got Ben with me. He's one of my students. He scaled from 4K a month to like 28K a month. Um, he's been a student since January. It's July now. This is, this is Mr. Ben. I'm pushing so many buttons on your camera, but he's going to be filming me. He's just going to hold the camera down. I'm going to be miked up, so you're going to hear how I'm going to negotiate deals. You're going to hear how I go about framing and positioning, which is really, really important because this is ultimately a people game, not a videographer game, which a lot of people think. We're going to go in, we're going to build some relationships. You know, videography is kind of just the vehicle in order to go and land clients and make money with it. About first goal is going to be 10K. We're starting at zero, essentially no connections. I'm not going to go into places that I know. I'm in a cold approach everywhere that I go. We'll kick things off and we'll see what we make of it. We got to start the. It's still morning. It's like 11:00. I've done a little bit of work this morning. Start things off with some pure maple syrup. I bought this in Vermont, just like get my sweet tooth going. You know, want some peanut butter too. This is the good stuff. So there's literally the only ingredients: organic roasted peanuts, that's it. Palm oil, no canola oil, no motor oil. Just a bite of protein. Usually cafes are like the easiest, so we can look up at like a couple coffee shops. I'm honestly probably only going to do a couple because they're not going to pay the most, but they're good starting point. We have Pressed Coffee. Pressed Coffee is a chain, so we don't want to do Pressed Coffee. No. Okay, so this place has two locations. One's in Phoenix, one's in Scottdale. Only thing is this is Lux Max Annex and there's Lux Central. So this might not be the main place. Yeah, I'm thinking it's not. Also, if you look at the hours, Lux Central opens at 6:00 a.m. till 10:00 p.m. and this one's only 7:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. So this is definitely not their main location. So I could go into their other location, but it's further away and I want to try to hit as many as I can. So nope. Coffee Flats rated well, lighting inside looks kind of so we're going to pass on that. Start Starbucks. Definitely not. Sweet Waters Coffee and Tea. Scr Ste to go to. Okay, so we got this coffee shop. Um, let's see. Maybe, maybe we do one more. Light Heart Coffee. Oh, I think I went here or no, I didn't go here, but this look kind of dope. Let's see. We go to their website. We see how many locations they have. Lightheart Coffee, fire website. Yeah, so look, they like clearly care about their content. They have one location. That's good. 30K, 30K on IG. They care. They do care. This one's going to be tough because they already have someone. Look, they already have fun with it. If I gave you, we're going, we can look at this and know that our competition, it's going to be tough. So this one's going to be a tougher one to compete with, but it's, it's vibes and I might just go make some friends there anyway. So women are cute, the coffee looks yummy. We got to go. It's going to, it's going to be double heart if you think about it because I mean, not that it's hard. Got to talk to a woman and get business. Like no one's talking about the double cold approach, guys. You have to realize I'm not the best videographer. I just like talking to people and I know how to close deals. So that's. He's not the best videographer, but he scaled an agency to 100K a month. So it tells you something. So I mostly just say that because if you're not the best videographer, you're not disqualified. Like the reality is is like I'm going for some higher competition places. I'm also in a town that's going to have higher competition. Most of you guys are not going to be in towns with high competition. So anything that you make for the business that you're trying to go sign is going to be better than what they had. That was the case for me when I got started. I started started with the dealership. Literally anything I made was better than what they had. And it, what I made wasn't even like that fantastic. It was cool, it was fun, it was like a good learning experience, but it's about it. Oh, there's like a couple up here. There's a Pinnacle Nissan, Right Toyota. Those all sound like cars I would hate to film, but they would probably pay. See, like Porsche. Everyone wants to film a Porsche, but that means they probably already have someone. Cool. So I'm going to put down a couple of these dealerships and then we'll make a pass to those and I'll do a little bit of research and, uh, we'll follow up with you guys in just a minute.
All right, so we're off to, uh, our first location. Rip it, Ben. Rip it. So I really wanted to show you guys that this is possible without even owning a car. So Ben is toting me around. You just got to get your friends involved, really is what it is. I just don't have a car. So he's actually just transporting me instead of Ubering. Going to get a car. Going to get a car soon. Once I can scale this agency to 10K a month, then I'll get a car because then it'll pay for it. So no, I'm joking. But yeah, so we're on our way to our first location. Um, we're going to go to a coffee shop first, kind of get warmed up. Dealerships are on lunch break right now, and coffee shops don't take lunch break. So as far as I know, I think they just sip on coffee behind the counter. So we're going to go start with the coffee shops that we made on the list, and then from there, we'll go hit some dealerships and we'll see what we come up with. Day one could be a dud. I really don't think it will be, but, uh, we'll probably try to hit seven different businesses. Literally can't be a dud with us two together. Impossible. No, we're just going to weaponize artistry, and that's really what it comes down to. It's really just a people skills type of thing more than anything else. Go build relationships, go build trust, go make some free videos. That's what we're going to go do. That's how we're going to start things off. So we are 6 minutes away from destination number one. Let's get it.
All right, so first place we're going, Sweet Water Coffee and Tea, Scottdale. Okay, so it's just right over there. That's not too far. You got it punched in. So let's do a little bit of research while we're here. I actually need to put that back in. Okay, so website. Let's go to their Instagram. They have it back. Okay. All right, they might have a person already. This is going to be. They definitely already have someone. So this one's going to be a little bit tough. Oh, 39 locations. Okay, we're not going to do that. Yeah, we're not going to do that. All right, so we'll go to Light Heart Coffee. This place is vibes. Book the van. Oh, I think, oh, this is, I, I think they both own it or something. Oh, they're married. I think. Yeah, because she's the one that does it all. Oh, it's probably her part of. Yeah, because it's like him and her, and she does all the social media. So we're going to. You want to just pull off and. Yeah, so we don't just drive around. This is why it's important to do your due diligence, because one of the places we were going to go to, yeah, it's like a mom and pop type of shop. However, it looked like it was like the owner and his wife, she's the one doing all the social media. Realistically, just not going to be able to compete with that. I think it would be cool to go in, say hi, what's up, you know, see what it's all about. Might still do that. I kind of want a coffee. Look kind of dope. You just know that like it's going to be a good coffee. But this place right here, Squares Bakery and Cafe, they're rated four-star, which is mid. The place looks kind of mid, not anything too fancy. Um, so that could mean that they might not be able to afford it. If you look at their Instagram, they haven't posted since May 2nd. That's good. That means they need help. If we look at some of their reels, like, yeah, we can do better, right? Nothing too, too crazy. If we go to their Instagram bio, um, and we go to their, uh, this is probably. Here's the issue. This is probably a good spot, but they probably just don't make a lot of money. So we're really going to have to go in there and sell them the dream. But that's not a bad thing, because as long as we can turn the dream into a reality, it's a good thing, right? A lot of people sell the dream but can't fulfill on the dream. So if that's the case, don't do that. We're not doing that. We're going to go sell the dream, fulfilling the dream. So we'll probably go to this place. Struggling in this department. Yeah, it's bad. Yeah, it's not good. We need, we need. They need help. We need to help them. Light Heart and Sweet Water Coffee and Tea both just aren't going to work. 39 locations nationwide. That's why we do our research, because you're going to go in here, you're just going to get shot in the foot. Like you're not going to be able to pull anything off. We were going to go here. I actually had high hopes for this one because it looked dope. However, if you think about it, right, this is the dynamics that you have to be aware of. Light Heart, like their website looks really good. I like it a lot, especially for a coffee shop. You know, they're in Instagram is artsy. We go to their Instagram and, you know, like it's just very, it's very artsy. And then I think you can tell. Yeah, like you can just tell from this one right here. Let me see if I can make this a little bigger. Like it's a husband and his wife. She's obviously the one. When you click on the videos, like she's the one, and him sometimes, like, so she's the one making the videos. So it's like obviously if it's her coffee shop, they're the owners, she's, you know, doing the social media, then it's her pride and joy. She's not going to give that up to just some person. The same way that like the other place that has no social media will. And she's getting like super artsy with it. Free coffee hat. You're just going to get the app. Thirsty. And then you just pick whatever drink. You're the need for these are cool. I'm thinking like you can just like, it's a cool video and you can just tell by the way she's like talking about it. This is her pride and joy. So it's just going to be hard to compete with that. I'm down to go here and get coffee because it looks really yummy. You done? Oh, yeah. All right, let's go here and then we'll go to that other place and we'll kick things off there. We're going to go into the this place. Their social media, website, everything else. But maybe their coffee is good. We'll offer them a free video. The way that we're going to do this is I'm going to go order coffee and I'm say I've got an interesting request. Got an interesting request. I would like to film you a video, sign you as a client. That looks strangely, uh, obvious. How's it going? Good. How are you? Good. Um, can I do a dirty chai latte, iced, please? Can do it with almond milk as well. Uh, just one, please. That'll do it. I also have a little bit of an interesting request. I'm trying to grow my portfolio. Would it be cool if I jump behind the counter and film a video of you making the coffee and give it to you guys? Of like yourself making a coffee? No, of you making it. Film you. I, I don't have to have your face in it. I can just film you like making it. I'm like camera shy. I won't have you in it. Are you sure? Like, I'll get the good angles. Okay. Okay, sure. Yeah. Okay, amazing. Trying to. I just moved here, so just trying to scale up and get a couple more clients, you know? So putting my skills to work. All right, let's see. Um, ice would be good. The blue is cool. Little change up for you. Do this one from the top. I don't know if you know the person that runs your socials or not. Like, if I were to send these, the owner himself. Okay. Do you have his number or his contact by any chance? But here's, um, just a card that has our website. I think his contact information is something. Okay. It's on the website. Should be. Awesome. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day.
All right, so we're going to look up some dealerships. You gave me the coffee for free, which is kind of cool, or chai latte at least. So let's see. There are a lot of dealerships around here, which is good. Let's go to Van Chevrolet. They got some vets. Not rated too well. Not rated the best. What other? Go to a. AutoNation Ford Scottdale. Yeah, honestly, let's just go here because Ford will have Mustangs. Yeah, let's just grab these ones today and then we'll wrap onto the night. So realistically, it was really hard to shoot content in that coffee shop. The lighting, not great. She literally served it to me in a non-aesthetic plastic cup. Did nothing special with it. They're struggling. They need help. This is, this is something that's true, but the coffee shop itself isn't even anything that special, unfortunately. So if this one didn't work out, I probably wouldn't be too upset. We're going to go hit some dealerships because that's, that's really my bread and butter. So we're going to go hit Van Chevrolet, see what we can cook up. This is where we get some objections, which makes it a lot more fun. So let's get it.
Bro, we have entered the Shark Tank. Look at this guy. He's walking away, but he's like, he's just camping here. He's waiting for us, bro. Like I guarantee you. Watch this. I'm going to get out of the car. Hey, uh, can I sell you a car? Dealerships is really where I have to play my cards well. Coffee shop, you can go and you can make some mistakes. Like, you know, everything that you just saw, that's like the warmup, that's the easy mode. Now we're going to beat some Town Hall sevens and eights, maybe even nines up in this joint. It's time to pull the wall breakers out. Gotcha. What was his name again? I missed it. Uh, Matt Serreta. Matt Serreta? Yeah, awesome. Just ask P for it. Cool. Thank you so much. How's it going? Is Matt Serreta in by any chance? I'm not too sure. Do you have his number? I don't have his number. I set a couple questions for him. Um, is y'all sales manager here, if I any chance? Yeah, yeah. How you guys doing? Good. How about you? Brian. Yeah, Brian. Cam. Nice to meet you. Cam. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Um, just end looking to grow my portfolio a little bit, wondering if I could shoot some free videos for you and send them your way. Yeah, that'd be fun. Yeah. Anything, anything specific that you'd want? No. H. No. Okay. No. Is that what you guys are doing? Yeah, yeah. Give me one of your cards, though. Okay. I don't have a card on me. I'll shoot some stuff and then I'll get your information. Yeah. Do. Okay, sweet. Got some ideas for you, though. Sweet. Yeah. All right. Yeah, we'll run around, grab a couple things. Not now. I don't. But I, I will. Okay. Do it. It's just dependent on, like, I guess what you need, you know? So it's like, do you need one post a month? Do you need 30? Like, do you need ads? Like, what is that look like? But would love to regardless, shoot some free stuff. The first guys that ever come down here, I was wondering why people haven't done it. It's a great, if it was my business model, right? What you guys are doing, I know nothing about how to do it, how to post, but if you did help and there were successful sales people, like some ones that were successful, there's so many more that need to do it, right? For sure. And I'm talking about market themselves. Yeah, I would pay people. I would pay somebody. There's another guy I got his card that came in here that does like movie type stuff, and I was asking him. You guys are probably more like the kind of people that do do it for sure. If you notice some of the guys here do market themselves. Mhm. But there would be other people. You guys could almost create a whole business with. So I think it'll be, I, I think you guys are on. I'm definitely on to something and I'd probably pay you to do it to help me do it at some point here. Sweet. I'll do so. Give me your information before you leave. Cool. Yeah, I'll flick up a couple things, then I'll come in, I'll find you. All right. Thank you. Awesome. Thank you so much, Brian. Really, can't go any better than that. Number one dealership. Yeah. Not many people are like, if this is not your, like, if not now, win. Rob the bank taught me that one. It just sucks. It's a little dusty. It's because there was a monsoon. Yeah, that's true. We literally had a desert storm last night. So here's the drill. We're going to get some pictures first, and then we'll get some video as well. We send the pictures tonight. Looks good on us. And then we send the video tomorrow. Obviously, the C8s are eye-catching. You can barely even see the dust. It's could be actually kind of a dope shot right here. Yeah, let's go. Maybe find one more car. I'll flick up this black one too. The Corvettes just look better. I actually need to shoot this more from like this angle. The wide looks so far like a little top down. Wait, let's see here. It's kind of a dope angle. Angle. Low angle. Honestly, I don't think I'll flick this one up too much just because like they're going to be pushing C8s way more. All right, let's go find Brian. Show me what. All right, we just, uh, got some shots. I got to edit them first, okay? Then I'll come on over. You guys doing it? Um, I've been, I guess like in videography for about five years. Um, and I started off with dealerships. Oh, did you really? Yeah, back up in the Northeast when I lived there. What were you, what were you doing there? I was making, uh, all their ads. Really? Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah. Moved down here to the heat now. Yeah, yeah. We probably should have done that after summer. But yeah, I'm out there. I'm like, damn, there's sweat dripping down my back. This is fantastic. Sweet. Awesome. Yeah, that's your personal number? Yep. Aw, that's my, uh, email. Email. All right, I will send some of these over your way. Yeah. Thank you so much. Nice to meet you. You too. Say that, uh, went pretty well. Pretty well. Pretty well. Yeah. I saw he just literally wrote down everything for us. He's like, here you go, bro. People don't understand how easy it is, bro. Honestly, like, just, you just have to go talk to people. He was ecstatic, bro. Like he's like, bro, I've been waiting for you. Literally waiting for you. So now we throw together some heat for Brian. I'm going to take a picture of this just so in case I lose it. But let's go to the next. We, I mean, if we have one more success, then I'll just wrap. Was like ready to pay me honestly. So he asked you straight up, how much? How much? I was like, well, yeah, depends. Do you want one? Do you want 30? Let's, let's sit down and have a conversation. So that's exactly what we're going to do. We're going to send him some stuff. He's going to be like crazy, and then we're going to go have some fun in After Effects. You know how it is. We're just going to set up a conversation, right? Like you saw, it's more people skills than anything else. Like the fact that I was holding a camera, having a conversation with Brian, made Brian more excited than anything. That's it. We do good work for Brian, he'll probably recommend us to all these dealerships. At the Chevrolet dealership, got some good shots. The cars were a little dusty from the sandstorm last night. I think it'll still be good, and it's enough that I can show Brian my work and he'll be like, yeah, this is good. That's what we're going for. Now we're at the Ford place, a whopping 2 minutes away. I don't expect this one to be easier than that one that we just had. So might as well just kick things off and see how it goes. I chose Chevy because the Corvettes are cool. Chose Ford because Mustangs are cool. Not the Mach-E, the normal ones are cool. Um, that's about all the cool cars that Ford has, other than I guess their trucks are decent. The Raptors are cool. Let's go find the general manager. So we just need to find a sales guy and ask him for the general manager, and we don't want to mansplain ourselves. We just want to get, get down and dirty real quick. Maybe I should just wave my hands around and find a sales guy, just like this. Um, yeah, is your general manager in today? Yeah, he's in. What's his name? Randy. Randy. Yeah, sweet. How. Gotcha. Is your, uh, sales manager in? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I speak to him? Yeah, let me get, have a real quick. Yeah, sure. It, uh, I think I'm good. Thank you though. What's it regarding? Just had a couple questions for him. What was his name? Uh, Ken. Ken. Yeah. Is it about a vehicle or no? Just, uh, about some work. Okay. Yeah. Thank you so much. There's these filmer guys here that, uh, had some work questions for you. What's it in regards to? I just have questions for you. Going to plug me or? Oh, my goodness. Oh, here she comes. Are you guys looking to purchase a vehicle or to be a vendor? Neither. Okay. No, just wanted to talk to him about, um, some film stuff to do business with us potentially. Yeah. Okay. So that was through our corporate team. We'd have to AutoNation directly. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay. Thank you so much. Yeah, I didn't like Ford anyway, honestly. I like Chevrolet way more. What's going on over here? Sounds like a hella chopper. Yeah, let's get in. I don't even like BMW, but now I like it more than Ford, that's for sure.
Bro, this place low-key looks a little sketch. They got, they got product and, you know, they're pushing product. Used car dealership, you know, they're making money. You know, they're marking [ __ ] up for sure. Let's go Auto Boom. Let's go into Auto Boom and make a bomb video for them. I'm talking explosions and everything. Good. How are you doing? Good. What's your name? My name is Blaine. Blaine? Yep. Cam. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Are you general manager? Is general manager in or any sort of manager? Manager? I don't know if you would be available. I can, my general sales manager. That'd be awesome. Just, uh, had some questions for him. Okay. Yeah. How's it going, guys? Good. How are you? Good. What's your name? Jesse. Cam. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. How's it going? Ben. Jesse. Nice to meet you. Jesse. We just wanted to stop in. We're looking to grow our portfolio a little bit. Wonder if we could shoot a couple pictures, videos of your cars and send them your way, see what you think. Um, just to send them to us or you guys? Yeah, build our portfolio, send them your way. What are you guys? Do you guys, um, do stuff on social media and stuff like that? So you just want to take some pictures and send it our way to kind of, what you guys trying to, what you guys trying to do with our cars? Like trying to grow our stuff, but then also put together some stuff that you guys like as well. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I don't mind if you guys take some pictures of the cars and stuff like that, but, um, what kind of cars are you guys looking to shoot? Obviously, I got, I mean, you guys, everything here is pretty fire. Yeah, yeah. We got a lot of pretty cool stuff. Yeah. One things that I probably wouldn't do if you guys are going to film something is don't do cars that are already sold. We'll definitely do that. Porsche, because the window light's good. Pricing with the C8. Um, got Cy too. Sweet. We got some cool stuff. Then I can give you, I can give you one of my cards. You guys can send it over to me. Cool. 100%. If you can email it to. Cool. And that's your cell too? That's my cell phone number, and then that top number is our store number. Sweet. So yeah, you guys. You as well. Yeah. Thank you. We'll get some stuff and send it your way. Sounds good.
Bro, it's so fire, but form is everything when it comes to videography. If you have bad form, you're going to have bad clients. I mean, look at this. Good form could be a good client. You think there's a correlation there? Is it kind of a cool angle, honestly? Is this a cool angle? They have too many other shots that I necessarily want. It should be good. We can kind of ball out on the B about that. We get the back end here. Should be pretty good. Okay. Very successful day. Day one. We already got some our foots in the doors at some places. Overall, the coffee shops were just kind of duds, nothing too special, but the dealerships were actually a much bigger hit than I thought. Like literally, I feel like I was welcomed with open arms. I guess it didn't seem like it was common when I was with other people, but when I went in by myself, it definitely was the case. And overall, very successful. The coffee shop probably not even worth following up with any of them, but the dealerships, very solid. Also, Ford can ligma. Never actually. They're Ford GT, that's about the only fire thing that they make. Um, the Broncos kind of cool, the old ones especially. But, um, Chevy was a big win, and definitely the smaller used car dealership, very big win, because you know that they're just printing cash. So overall, success. We'll catch back up with you guys when we have a little bit of lunch here to wrap things up.
We just finished up some lunch and I remember this spot right here. My buddy bought some clothing from them and it's fire. I went on their Instagram, 300K, they're established, but I have an idea. So we're going to see if we can pull it off. Sorry, I thought for whatever reason like y'all are waiting to like film something. Oh, no, you're chilling. But I do have a question for you. I was wondering if I have a really good commercial idea for you guys that I would love to shoot for free. I don't know if it'd be possible if I like come in tomorrow. I just live right across the street and like make something happen. I think you could, bro. Yeah, yeah. The manager, his name is Michael. He'll be here tomorrow. Sweet. Um, so I pop in. We open at 11:00. Okay. I don't see why. Does he come in early at all? Do you know? Um, he's here 10:00 to 5:30. Sweet. Okay. I mean, we have people coming in here doing kind of candid videos here and there, so I don't see why. Cool. You think if we brought like some lights like at like 10:00 before it opens, do you think we could work something out with them? Shoot something for free? Giovanni. Yeah, sweet. Um, because yeah, you guys want to like and stuff. Maybe he'll like have you guys do that a certain way. I don't know, but nonetheless, I'm sure y'all can work something out. We'll still get the hat regardless. Yeah, like what was his name? Uh, Michael. Michael. And you said your name is Javan? Javan. Sweet. Videographers. Yeah, and honestly, we like just went and shot with a couple businesses today and then we sat down there for lunch. My buddy bought a bunch of clothing here and I looked over, I was like, damn, I remember them. And I went on your Instagram, I was like, all right, they got some heat. And I was like, I feel like we could throw something sick together. So want to see if we can cook up something fire, make a little commercial out of it for you guys. Does he have like your contact? I got a fire free commercial idea for you guys. I would love to rip in and shoot. Obviously want to run it by Michael first. So anything like with that, I'm kind of just going to tell you what I know. Michael's going to say, like, since we are very corporate, we have store locations total. Anything with that has to get ran by like our upper CEO and like, um, their marketing team and things like that. So Michael has that information and he will definitely be able to give it to you, but you probably have to speak to him in person, I would think. So if you just came tomorrow? Yeah, you guys could like, he, that all cool. All right. I, I wish I could like help more, but I know that they are just pretty. Yeah, we've done some stuff for StockX too. So I was like, there'd be some cool overlap. Feel like they would really like want something like that. Yeah, no, 100%. Yeah, and I've got, I got such a banger idea. I would love to just knock out. So I'll swing by tomorrow. Appreciate it. That could be really, really big. I thought of that last second. There's a lot of competition because their social media is buyer, but it's not doing so hot. That's what I checked. I was actually taking a [ __ ] in that bathroom over there. I went and inspected it and it was dope, but the videos weren't performing well. And I saw videos like, this is really dope, I could recreate this better. So what's happening is there aren't any decision makers in today. So we couldn't do anything, but that's fine because I wanted to shoot tomorrow anyway. However, exactly, there's going to be a decision maker there tomorrow. Now, what better thing to do than be wearing the manager's merchandise when you walk in and pitch him a video? Ben's got a hat, I got a shirt. So we're going to walk in. It just shows that we actually care about what they're doing and what they got going. We're going to film some bangers. I'm going to need to get a couple things for tomorrow. In person's always better too. So what we do, it will bring all the gear tomorrow, but we'll just walk in. I'll pitch him. It does. I do have a little bit going for me with the fact that we work for StockX. We did some work for StockX. So that's a very nice overlapping piece right there. However, when we go in, we can leverage that to try to land something with this guy. And again, manager going to be there tomorrow. There's going to be some negotiating that goes down, but we'll bring in some lighting. I got a really good idea that's going to be tomorrow's priority. A fire commercial. Yeah, not future. So that's the move tomorrow. Let's go find some cigars and wrap up.
All right, so I just got back to my apartment and I have all the pictures and videos on this card, but Ben is using my laptop, so I'm letting him use my laptop and I'm going to edit all the photos on my phone. So USB C phone is fantastic. Going to put my card in this reader and then plug this in. Open this up. Go to DCIM and then we have all the photos right here. So I'm going to pull all these into Lightroom. So I'm going to select all of them. Got those from the second dealership and then going to grab these from the first one. Should be able to go to on my iPhone. Dealerships and all the pictures are here. So I can just bring these into Lightroom and I can drop some presets on these and then send them over and see what they think.
All right, so now I'll jump over into Lightroom. We'll add some photos from files and then it's dealerships. There we go. Select all. Open these. That should take a second to open. All right, we're all loading in there. I do have some automotive presets, so it should not be too hard to edit. So these are all raw. Let's start with. Let check the Porsche. Actually, I like the C8 the best, honestly. Going to run with V5. I like V5. Don't have it to go too crazy on on these. Copy these settings. Check. See, yeah, like that. Just is a massive transformation right there. Little dusty, but still pretty fire. Obviously, can't do much about the dust. I like that. That just brings it to life. That's crazy. I love the sun just sticking out on the front there. Biggest thing here is like, we don't have to go super crazy on this because like they literally don't have anything, right? So it's not really worth. And I did this for free, so it's, this is more just to get a conversation started. I really don't have to go too crazy with these edits. Like that already looks so fire. I don't love that angle as much as I thought I would. Oh, I like that actually a lot. And then it'll just fidget with those blues. Little bit too much luminance. Bring that right back. Okay, now it's just a little bit greenish. I feel like we need to change the hue a bit. There it is. Those greens were a little oversaturated. Okay, kind of vibing with that. I like that a lot. Nothing too crazy, but pretty fire nonetheless. I love the blue color change. I think I need to try to fix that a little bit more. Okay, there we go. All right, so overall mission successful. Going to finalize these edits a little bit more. I feel like I don't need to show the entire thing. Um, and then I'm going to send these over and open up the conversation, which I'll film, show you guys how I go about doing that. And then, uh, from there, we'll probably wrap it up and call it a night. Overall, pretty successful day one, and it looks like we now have a shoe with Future tomorrow, which is going to be pretty dope. So stay tuned for that. I want to send these over to Brian. So we'll do that right now. Brian. Yo, what's up, Bri? I got to get that right. Brian, this is Cam. We'll make a little joke about the dust. So Brian, this is Cam, uh, sending over the, essentially, this is where we're at. Yo, what's up, Brian? This is Cam, sending over some pics I cooked up from today. Dust storm did me dirty. Excited to send the video your way. Let me know what you think. Um, and then we have all the pictures right here. Not all of them, but my favorites. We'll send the video his way. Reality is is with this is we're just trying to keep it kind of open-ended, not like do anything too salesy, like just kind of get his feedback because we have the video and we're going to use the video for continued positioning tomorrow. So once I cook up the video, we'll send that and get even more feedback from there. Essentially shot this today, want to send it over the same day because speed is super important when it comes to this stuff and it comes to positioning, framing yourself, you know, just as an authority in what you do. It's professional to be quick and send over good stuff. When he gets back, if he doesn't, I'll bump it. We'll probably follow up tomorrow and do that. That's day one. Day two, we're going to shoot with Future tomorrow, 10:00, 10:15 a.m. Um, super excited. Excited for that. Smoking a cigar here with my guy Joe. It's 9:15. My name's Ben. I'm tired. Successful day. Looking forward to catching you guys tomorrow for the feature shoot. So stay tuned for that. Subscribe for that. We're doing the thing, not just talking about the thing. So keep watching. Most can't do this, honestly. Most can't do this, and we're doing it. So tag along. You might learn something. We're going to have some fun doing it. Show you guys that getting to 10K, not, not only is it easy, not only is it simple, but it's fun too, especially if you work with the right businesses. Till then, catch you tomorrow.
