The Shoots That Made Us Question Being Videographers | A Gun Got Pulled at a Video Shoot…

Welcome back to The Soul Session, where we have real conversations about creativity, business, and the human side of the industry. In today’s episode, I’m joined by my friends Aileen and Christian, both Orlando-based videographers and business owners, each running their own production companies in different niches. Together, we sit down for an honest conversation about what it’s really like working in the industry. We dive into our personal experiences as videographers, talk about the highs and lows of running a creative business, and read real videographer horror stories submitted by other creators. From nightmare clients and miscommunication to burnout, boundaries, and lessons learned the hard way—we break it all down and give our raw advice, commentary, and perspective. If you’re a videographer, filmmaker, photographer, or creative entrepreneur, this episode will make you feel seen—and hopefully help you avoid some painful mistakes. 🎥
