The other thing that I keep harping on is that remote work doesn't need to mean that it's lonely work. We confuse remote work with isolation a lot because we equate remote work with working from home. Again, because the pandemic forced remote work to be synonymous with working from home. But post-pandemic, there are countless ways to work remotely.You are listening to episode 40 of the Happy Space Podcast. Today we're exploring remote work 2.0, and the opportunity to work at your neighbors with Radious founder, Amina Moreau.Amina Moreau's startup Radious addresses the challenges of returning to the office by solving for the dreaded commute and providing a network of distributed workspaces in local neighborhoods.Amina Moreau shares the history of Radious, a company focused on creating a network of distributed workspaces in local communities. The idea originated during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns, where the shift to remote work prompted discussions on the challenges of returning to the office, especially with the commute being a significant barrier. Radious aims to provide flexible and cost-effective solutions by offering a network of workspaces in suburban areas, allowing employees to choose locations based on their needs and preferences. The focus is on reducing commute times, fostering collaboration, and providing diverse workspace options for different activities. Amina encourages a nuanced approach to flexible work solutions, tailored to factors such as culture, innovation, and productivity. She highlights the significance of leveraging data and insights to inform workspace decisions and stresses the importance of robust self-reflection.A chronic entrepreneur, Amina's companies are merely symptoms of her obsession with putting something meaningful out into the world. Amina began her career as co-founder and Executive Creative Director at Stillmotion, Inc., a five-time Emmy Award-winning band of filmmakers. Amina became an Adjunct Professor at the University of Oregon's School of Journalism and Communication in 2018, teaching graduate students about the business of storytelling. Radious is her next big thing, an online platform that outfits residential properties with workplace amenities and offers them up for company workdays and team meetings —rented by the day. When she's not busy building Radious, you'll find her grunting on the tennis court.Recently ranked #1 in the Pacific Northwest, she continues to play at a high level and finds her sense of peace crushing it at 100 MPH.

Amina Moreau is the Co-founder and CEO of Radious, an online marketplace that converts houses, apartments, and other residential properties into collaborative workspaces, rentable by the day. As a self-described chronic entrepreneur, she has built numerous companies, including Stillmotion, a five-time Emmy award-winning filmmaking company, Sway Storytelling, and Float Small Business. In this episode: In the pandemic's aftermath, hybrid and alternative work systems have become highly coveted. Yet there are societal discrepancies among these terms, causing some employees to feel lonely and companies to spend millions of dollars on underutilized office spaces. How can you redefine remote and hybrid work to foster a collaborative and uplifting culture? As a practical visionary, Amina Moreau recognizes that most hybrid and remote systems are ineffective as companies find themselves bound by office leases, leading to uncompromising policies and a lack of productivity. She encourages business leaders to establish a contract with a company offering fractional office spaces to promote flexibility and justify utilization. It's also essential to develop strategic processes for remote work, which may involve weekly meetings in an office space or day trips to facilitate autonomy and collaboration.  Amina Moreau, the Co-founder and CEO of Radious, joins Adi Klevit in today's episode of Systems Simplified to discuss leveraging fractional office spaces for collaborative remote work. Amina shares how to balance remote, hybrid, and in-person work environments, her processes for building remote and hybrid cultures, and how her company transforms residences into collaborative workspaces.

If you’ve been around for a while, you may have heard of Patrick Moreau, from Muse Storytelling.   When John and Nick got started, they learned so much from Patrick, as he was running Stillmotion. His knack for storytelling was insanely good. The only problem is that he wasn’t profitable in his company. That was, until he hired a new CEO to help him become profitable.   In today’s episode, we chat with Patrick, and the CEO of Muse, Rebecca Rapple all about becoming profitable as filmmakers!

My podcast coverage of Nashville Film Festival continues in this short-films episode where I interview the directors for two different short films that got my attention at the festival. One has more of a documentary feel while the other one is a more stylized film with elaborate production design, so I paired the two interviews to explore how shorts can come together and the creative possibilities they can offer. The first interview is with Amanda Young, one of the directors behind Every Two Minutes, a compilation of stories relating to human trafficking. The short was done through StoryGive, which partners filmmakers in Nashville with non-profits that tackle various social issues. For Every Two Minutes, StoryGive connected local filmmakers with End Slavery Tennessee, a non-profit dedicated to caring for survivors of human trafficking and tactically addressing the issue. The second interview is with Chilean director Vicente Manzano. His experimental short Bubble uses bubble framing in a novel, story-driven way. Virtually everything in the film was custom-designed for the film, which involved careful planning to pull off. Some of the things we discuss include Using film to address a social issue in an impactful way How to collaborate with accomplished filmmakers and crew members on limited budget How to make a short film that is driven by stylized production design Sponsors for this Episode nsavides productions  I make friendly, engaging videos for earnest people.

Not going to like, I (John) was a wee bit nervous to interview Patrick Moreau, from Muse Storytelling. To me, he is sort of a legend. Not only has the guy done so much for the wedding industry with tutorials, and story telling. But he has filmed some of the most incredible stories that the world has to offer. His company, StillMotion, began over a decade ago, and they literally changed the entire landscape for wedding filmmakers. He, and his crew were so far ahead of the curve, that they rather quickly were contacted by Canon to help them film tutorials for filmmakers. The films were driven by story. His crew was one of the first companies to do this. They opened up this whole new world (cue the Aladdin theme song) for people in our industry. Our eyes were open to the fact that you could literally have no boundaries when telling a story. I would catch myself watching his films and getting lost in the story. It wasn't just Uncle Fred with a camera and a big light. It was a production. A raw story, and it drew you in. You couldn't help but watch from beginning to end. With their incredible passion for having no boundaries, and putting story first, their company exploded. Someone from the NFL saw one of their films, and hired them do a documentary on the Playoffs, then the Army vs Navy game hired them on a several hundred thousand dollar contract to product a documentary. This led to Patrick and the team winning an Emmy for their work, and SO MANY more opportunities. After teaching so many courses on story, Patrick and his team created Muse Story Telling, and have broken down the exact science and psychology of telling a story. They taught courses and workshops around the world. I owe a ton of my success to his work. I was so honored to get an hour of his time, and would love to hear what you think about this episode. A HUGE thank you to Patrick, and the Muse Story Telling team for letting us hear all of the things that are going on in your world.

One of the biggest mistakes filmmakers tend to make nowadays is forgetting the importance of storytelling. Storytelling has a rich human history and it is something that today’s returning guest, Patrick Moreau, is passionate about helping other filmmakers discover. In this episode, Patrick walks us through why we need to understand the science of storytelling and how that knowledge will help us land bigger and better jobs. Patrick is the founder of Stillmotion and Muse Storytelling, and has recently launched a free course for filmmaking walking through the effects story has on the human mind. The ‘Expert of Storytelling’, Patrick has a highly esteemed portfolio including work for Canon, the United Nations and the NFL and is a master of delivering results-based content to his clients. Patrick takes storytelling to the next level, explaining the concept of narrative transportation and backs it up with hard scientific facts behind the reason storytelling works (when its done right, of course). By strategically planning how to achieve an objective and become a storytelling expert, you can increase the amount you make per job, open up new revenue streams through consulting, and instill more confidence in your clients. He also digs into why we need to challenge ourselves to become more than ‘pixel pushers’ and to truly connect with our client's message and in turn, connect deeply with the human emotion in your consumer. Patrick believes it's more important to go beyond the filters and the drones of today's filmmaking scene to actually emotionally connect with a specific story. How do you connect with your client's stories and help them make ‘more than just a video’? Let us know in the comments!   In This Episode Going beyond being a filmmaker to become a storyteller The science behind how and why storytelling works How to properly communicate your goals with your clients Adding value to the way you tell stories Positioning yourself as an expert in the industry   Quotes “That's where you want to be with your clients, a trusted expert who can execute and deliver results, and you’re just giving them clarity on how you're going to do it.” (6:32) “We are making videos for humans to watch so we kind of have a responsibility to understand how humans work. What actually creates connection? Why would somebody actually watch this? Why wouldn't they watch this? And that's really the premise of all of it. If you are making videos for humans understand what gets their attention, what drives them to action, what would get them to actually watch your content? And once you understand that you unlock a whole new world of how you can create and how you can interact with your clients.” (13:24) “They want a video, they aren't sure how they want to get there, they don't even necessarily communicate why they want to do it, but by us positioning ourselves as the expert and walking them through a different way, all of a sudden they're like ‘yeah I get why we would pay you way more, because the guy down the street is just making a video” (32:32) “[The training videos] go through in detail how to actually apply these ideas to your business right now so that it's like tangible value that you can walk away with.” (43:53) “All of a sudden, you're the expert. And you get the rooms and the budgets and the time, and you just fall in love with it. You just get excited to get back out and get on the field and create things that you believe in. Things that you want to see made. And that's powerful.

My podcast coverage of Louisiana International Film Festival 2018 continues with director Maya Washington. She's the filmmaker behind Through the Banks of the Red Cedar and the daughter of Gene Washington, the wide receiver who played for Michigan State and then the Minnesota Vikings and the Denver Broncos. Gene's storied football career led to an induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, two Pro Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl game. He was also one of 23 African Americans who were brought onto the Michigan State team in 1963 by Coach Duffy Daugherty. That was an unprecedented move in college football that helped to turn fully integrated football teams into the norm. Some of the things that Maya and I discuss in our interview include The way segregation affected college football and the transition past that How her relationship with her dad became the emotional hook of her documentary What making the documentary taught her about football and how it brought her closer to her dad What it takes to include footage from NCAA College Football and NFL events in a documentary How one considerate gesture from a competitor changed the life of Gene Washington, his family, and countless others.

A blast from the past. One of my personal faves. Insightful. Inspiring. Potent. Definitely worth listening to again. And if it's your first time, enjoy.This week on the show we delve into one of the most important topics we’ll discuss all season. It’s at the core of what we do as filmmakers. Telling stories. Chris Huntley from The Write Bros. talks about the narrative story development theory Dramatica and the connection story has to psychology. We’ll hear from Patrick Moreau of Muse Storytelling and Stillmotion on how they find and tell the kind of stories that have won them five Emmys. We’ll hear from Dan Duncan of Remedy Films on the lengths he goes to tell authentic stories. And we hear from a filmmaker we last heard from way back in the first main episode — Alex Vo from the San Francisco Bay Area shares how he finds real life “Hero’s Journey” stories.Music in this EpisodeExcept where noted, music in this episode was curated from FreeMusicArchive.org.

Most of us didn’t get into filmmaking in the first place to take on clients and run businesses. When we picked up a camera for the first time and were captivated by what we could do with it, it was because we ourselves had something to say. Our own story to share. The deeper into the world of film we dove however, the more we realized that it seems all but impossible to bring our passion projects to life in a sustainable way. Sure, we could invest thousands of hours and vast amounts of money to complete a project, but most of us will never see enough return on that investment to justify ever undertaking another one. This sucks. For all of us. Patrick Moreau is racking up his Studio Sherpas frequent flyer miles and returning to the podcast to share how he and his team are bringing their new original content series The Remarkable Ones to life. Patrick knows a thing or two about heartbreak and failure when it comes to creating original content and putting it out there. His feature documentary Stand With Me - despite touching deeply pretty much everyone who viewed it - was a commercial failure for the team and made them question whether there was a way to create original content that they were passionate about in a sustainable way. Today Patrick shares what they learned from the failure of their last project, and what they’re doing differently this time to make the most of the series. Do you have a passion project that you’ve released or are wanting to create? What are the biggest obstacles in your way? In this episode: - The 80/20 rule applied to content production, and how most of us get it backwards - How a project can be incredibly powerful and moving to viewers, but still be a failure - How The Creative Bias keeps us from making the most of our creations - The specific budget and scheduling details behind The Remarkable Ones Quotes: “If you keep the dream, and you always say ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ then the dream can never die. Actually putting the skin in the game and going out there and doing it is the moment you can truly fail. And that causes so much paralysis for so many people.” [28:43] Find the original post at: https://studiosherpas.com/category/podcasts

Find the original post at: podcast.studiosherpas.com "It takes more than pointing your camera at a human to really capture character in your video. While most wedding have a bunch of people, and often prominently feature a couple, they rarely have any character." This was the opening line of a recently published blog post by today's guest, Patrick Moreau. The blog post in question was titled Why Most Wedding Films Suck, and needless to say, it ruffled some feathers. Patrick joins us today to dive deeper into the sentiments that drove him to write the post, and what the average filmmaker can do to not only produce films that don't suck, but ones that cross borders and inspire viewers beyond the wedding film industry. If you don't know Patrick already, he's the co-founder of Stllmotion, a video company that went from shooting their first wedding with photo and video for $250, alllllll the way to shooting for some of the biggest brands in the world a few years later. How big? How about the NFL, MLB, CBS, Callaway, Canon, Toyota. The list goes on. Really big. Oh, and they've also won five Emmys. Do you want to hear the crazy part? Many of those brands approached Stillmotion to work with them after seeing one of their wedding videos. Hard to believe right? The thing is, Patrick and his team are master storytellers, and the elements of a well-told story remain the same no matter what you're covering. Whether it's one of the most important days of a couple's life together, or one of the most important days of a bunch of 300-pound dudes smashing the crap out of each other, the principals are the same. Patrick's frustration with the lack of storytelling chops in the industry is the focus of his other company, Muse Storytelling. At Muse, he teaches filmmakers how learning the art of storytelling is the biggest thing you can do to move your business forward. It's storytelling, not a new drone or camera setup that is the thing that's going to elevate you to getting those 10, 20, and 50 thousand dollar clients on a consistent basis. Storytelling has become something of a buzzword as of late, but we want to clarify what it really means, and how you can go about crafting great stories, and getting paid what your worth to tell them.

For the past 10 months, we've explored a theme that is pertinent to all artists. Let's sum this season up and get the definitive answer to this crucial question.If you're any kind of artist, but especially if you're one trying to earn a living at your craft, it's vital to both your creative fulfillment as well as your professional longevity, to find "your voice" and develop a signature style. On September 1 of last year, Radio Film School launched with a mission to get to the bottom of this answer. After almost 90 interviews, we have determined what I can safely proclaim is a definitive strategy.In our season 1 finale, we'll revisit old interviews, introduce new ones, and summarize what essentially amounts to a 4-stop process; and we do it in a way that is classic Radio Film School--from stories to movie clips to an eclectic score, you'll be inspired after hearing this episode.Be sure to listen past the credits to get a sneak peek at season 2 and the collaboration we're doing with Stillmotion and Muse Storytelling to document the making of their The Remarkable Ones series.

If you're serious about learning video, chances are you've come across one of the videos of Dave Dugdale of LearningVideo.com. Today we have a bonus episode of Radio Film School where I have an in-depth chat with Dave.When Dave Dugdale talks, companies listen. Why? Because he has one of the most popular video education channels on YouTube—with over 170,000 subscribers and 20+ million views. What sets Dave apart from many other "professionals" in this industry, is that Dave will be the first to tell you he doesn't consider himself a pro. He's just a regular guy trying to learn video and sharing what he learns with the world. He doesn't put on a face and try to make himself cooler or smarter than he really is. He's like the friendly neighborhood dad down the street...who just happens to be a minor YouTube celebrity.Today's bonus episode of the show is my full, uncut interview with Dave. This was actually an interview I did with Dave for my now defunct podcast, The Solo Creative. I don't want the Solo Creative interviews I did to go to waste, so periodically I'll post them in the Radio Film School feed as bonuses.In this interview with Dave, he covers how he got started, his strategy for making passive income with his websites, mistakes he’s made, where and how he learns, his philosophy on life and work, and the value of just putting yourself out there. I have no doubt you’ll be inspired.Other 1-on-1 Filmmaker Interviews: Crossing the 180If you like these one-on-one style interviews where I dig deep and wide with filmmakers, you'll love my back catalog of Crossing the 180. This was my first filmmakers podcast. Over 100 interviews with filmmakers from just about every facet of the business: from Hollywood DPs and directors, to DSLR luminaries, to wedding "rock stars."

Today's episode is a must-listen episode for anyone out there who has procrastinated or dragged their butt on getting a project done. An update on my documentary "Mixed in America".Five years ago I embarked on a personal project to create a short film documentary series about biracial people in America. It's called "Mixed in America" and the first installment of the series is about my daughter, Imahni. The name of the installment is "Little Mixed Sunshine" and it combines a personal interview various b-roll and re-enactments. Well, five years after first interviewing her and even uploading a 1-minute teaser, the project still isn't done.Out of a desire to educate and inspire other filmmakers and creatives (or, quite possibly, a temporary loss of sanity) I made the decision to share my progress of the film on this podcast. The segment has been cleverly called "Shooting Sunshine." Today you'll hear the latest installment of the series with an update on where I am exactly with "Mixed in America." Show regular JD Cochran is back to give me some "tough love." If you've ever dragged your feet on getting a project done, particularly a film project, this is the episode for you. project done.

A few weeks ago I posted my "best of..." series, and made a comment that sparked a great conversation with show regular Yolanda Cochran (former head of physical production at Alcon Entertainment). The comment was part of my "moral to the story" summary for the "Women in Film" series episode from last fall (daredreamer.fm/wif3). Essentially I said that one of the things women should do to gain parity with men in Hollywood is to act and think like a man.But should they? Yolanda has a different take on the topic and that is the basis for today's discussion. I'd love to get your take on this topic. Comment here or join the discussion at our Facebook page: facebook.com/radiofilmschool.Also in this episode is a short clip from one of our fellow Podcastica network shows, the Sci-Fi Movie podcast.

This week we premiere our first podcast collaboration with the Circa Podcast as we look at a history of cinema.Last summer when interviewing David Shulman, executive director of the Seattle Film Institute, we got into a lively discussion about how the history of cinema, in many ways, has come full circle. I wanted to explore this idea, so I enlisted the help of Zac Lovelace, creator and host of another 6-month old podcast, Circa. I like to call Circa "the 99% Invisible" of history. Zac describes it like this: a podcast about the stories lost in time, and how they can help us understand ourselves better.Today's show delves into the rich beginnings of cinema (starting with Thomas Edison and the Lumiere Bros) then takes us through the advent of television, and finally ends up at the smart phone. Zac's storytelling style is immersive and engaging. You'll immediately know why I chose Circa as a collaboration partner on this episode.After the credits there is one of the funniest bonus segments we've had. So be sure to stick around for that too.Stillmotion has a New Class - "Conducting Remarkable Interviews"Stillmotion's Muse Storytelling is the process they use to tell the kind of stories that has helped them garner five Emmys, and go from shooting weddings to shooting the Super Bowl.

This week on the show we delve into one of the most important topics we'll discuss all season. It's at the core of what we do as filmmakers. Telling stories.Chris Huntley from The Write Bros. talks about the narrative story development theory Dramatica and the connection story has to psychology. We'll hear from Patrick Moreau of Muse Storytelling and Stillmotion on how they find and tell the kind of stories that have won them five Emmys. We'll hear from Dan Duncan of Remedy Films on the lengths he goes to tell authentic stories. And we hear from a filmmaker we last heard from way back in the first main episode -- Alex Vo from the San Francisco Bay Area shares how he finds real life "Hero's Journey" stories.

Patrick Moreau of StillMotion discusses the 4 Pillars of Story that help documentary filmmakers tell better stories.

Patrick Moreau of StillMotion discusses the 4 Pillars of Story that help documentary filmmakers tell better stories. The post 102: What are the 4 Pillars of Storytelling with Patrick Moreau of StillMotion appeared first on Film Trooper.

Every artist deals with it in their career—the difference between what they envision, and what they actually create. How to deal?There's a well-known video of "This American Life" host Ira Glass sharing his thoughts about what he calls "The Gap." It's the difference between your taste (what you know to be good work) and your talent (what it is you're actually able to create, which is often not as good as you'd like it to be). This week, on the first main "Radio Film School" episode of 2016, we dive into this issue. You'll hear from Sam Mestman, CEO of We Make Movies; Ryan Booth, filmmaker, DP and creator of the music performance web series "Serial Box Presents"; and Patrick Moreau, co-founder of Stillmotion and LearnStory.org. If you've ever faced "the Gap," this is the episode for you."Shooting Sunshine" ReturnsWe also have the next installment of my "Shooting Sunshine" segment. The behind the scenes look at the making of "Little Mixed Sunshine", the first episode in my short film documentary series about bi-racial people.

This week on "Radio Film School" is perhaps the most personal story I've ever publicly shared. And we see why that it is key to your journey as a filmmaker.Every self-respecting comic book nerd knows that the most iconic superheroes have origin stories tied to parents, and in many cases, fathers or father figures. Superman. Batman. Spider-Man. Thor. These are just a few whose origins as heroes are intimately tied to their parents and father figures.In this week's episode of "Radio Film School: Cinemaverick" we look at the role my father played in my own origin story as a filmmaker. We also meet my long-time friend and frequent podcast partner in crime, JD Cochran. And finally, we return where we left off last episode with Patrick Moreau of Stillmotion commenting about the death of his mother and the profound impact that had on him as an artist. In doing so, I delve into my own perilous territory as it relates to that subject.MusicMusic in this episode was curated from FreeMusicArchive.org.Little Wooden Church by The Trumpeters.

In this week's episode of the Digital Convergence Podcast, Chris Fenwick, planetMitch, and I talk with Patrick Moreau of Stillmotion. Patrick has truly transformed event filmmaking. In this episode, Patrick talks about their new app: SMAPP. The app was created to help make filmmaking more approachable and easier to understand. Stillmotion is also releasing a 380 page book (it's currently at the printers). Patrick says that this book, "is probably the best thing we've done as a team." Patrick talks, too, about the We can't wait to read it. As usual, though, we take the road less traveled and take a number of detours where we discuss everything from high frame rate video versus the 24p film aesthetic to pondering the question: is everything a re-mix?
