Can You Guess Which Suit Costs $1,200?

Your wedding photos will last forever, but that doesn't mean you need to pay forever-prices for a suit that looks identical. Smart brides know where to save without sacrificing style.

This was a topic suggested by you guys- How I actually make my content! For the nitty gritty, every last detail I would suggest watching/listening to the podcast this week, links below, but I here are some of my tips and tricks, along the key tools I use to make my videos for Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube, and more!

EXPERT’S WORDS: Jeremy Jacobowitz🎤

LISTEN HERE, and available anywhere podcasts are found “Let Me Tell You Why…with Jeremy Jacobowitz”!

Top Tricks

1) The hook is the most important part of your video, if you don’t catch them in the first 3 seconds, they wont watch.

2) What’s the story? What are you actually trying to tell you audience, and does your video actually achieve that?

3) Don’t worry about gear, cellphones are incredible cameras nowadays, only start upgrading your gear if you feel passionate about gear itself, otherwise its a waste of money, and your content will probably look worse if you don’t know how to use it, vs a cellphone which is so easy to use.

4) Have a system in place for keeping track of everything! Ideas, raw footage, posting schedule, it will get to a point where its completely overwhelming, and if you don’t start at the beginning, it will be nearly impossible to ever figure out. I have excel sheets to track idea to posting, I have SSDs and other hard drives keeping all my raw footage labeled and easily accessible with a NAS system I built, and I google drive to archive all final videos, as well as a separate HDD connected to my computer.

YOUTUBE

Pressbox Chronicles with Jeff Pearlman is my new favorite Youtube channel! He is a longtime sports writer, and all of his videos dig deeper into the stories that have either never been told, or never been told from his unique perspective and point of view. From how the Dallas Cowboys built their 90’s Super Bowl dynasty, to the infamous Bret Favre DP scandal, his insights are top tier. WATCH HERE

VIDEOGAMES

I spent the past few weeks playing the brand new DOOM Dark Ages on Xbox gamepass, and I love! This has been a top tier FPS since the beginning of FPS, and this new edition does the generations old franchise justice! Per usual, you are off killing alien demons with giant guns and and weapons! But this franchise introduces a really fun medieval aesthetic since its technically a prequel, and has way more options to make the game easier, a god send for me who struggled so much with that last game that I couldn’t make it past the first few levels!
