Want to learn filmmaking from a full-time pro videographer (and a film university professor)? Then you're in the right place. Stop learning from people at your level and learn from someone who has been successfully doing this for over a decade! I'm Sidney Reed, a Fortune 500 film director and videographer with over 15 years of experience. I'm lucky to earn a living doing nothing but filmmaking and love teaching on the side, and I want you to have the same. On my channel you will learn:
➤ How to become a full-time, paid filmmaker
➤ How to stand out from other average videographers
➤ How to run your business and get paid right
➤ How to be creative in your thinking (and stand out from the rest)
Anyone can hop on Youtube to be a regular videographer, but many won't make it in the real world because they're learning from other people at their level. You're smarter than that, right? Learn from an actual director and college professor, and get ahead of the rest.

That’s a wrap for my bodybuilding documentary! It’s truly wild to see how much work everyone (including my boyfriend Mark) have put into prepping for a competition. They should feel proud of their accomplishments!

Now it’s time to edit. I’m excited to share all the fascinating and unknown things about bodybuilding that you just can’t tell from movies or celebrities.

Thank you to 5280 Muscle Madness for letting me film everything behind the scenes! Stay tuned for the full episode soon!

In-progress screenshots from my latest documentary on natural bodybuilding. It’s interesting to see how the sport has evolved from its early decades. I’ll be focusing on how it’s portrayed in the movies vs real life (and if that’s even realistic).

There’s a very telling detail in the original Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone script. Right there on page one, in the top right corner.

I noticed it when I visited the Warner Brothers Studios during my trip to London earlier this year.

Scenes 1-18 are omitted.

Which means the movie was originally NOT going to open like the book (with Dumbledore dropping off baby Harry).

I wonder if scenes 1-18 were backstory or flashbacks of Voldemort’s rise to power or the history of magic?

Either way, I thought it was an interesting detail. It’s amazing the little things you can deduce from just a few marks on a script.

By the way if you haven’t been to London to see the studio tour, I highly recommend it.

Who knew my old iPhone 13 Pro was capable of photographing the Milky Way? These are unedited, which is honestly not bad out of the camera. Shot this in a dark sky zone at the Great Sand Dunes National Park here in Colorado.

Day 4 of filming wrapped! It was pretty chaotic. We had a Lambo, a Corvette, a Cybertruck, a French Bistro, about 12 actors, and we all got sunburnt. 😂 It was a blast.

Day 3 of filming The Queebles up at MacGregor Ranch in Estes Park, CO. Absolutely stunning vistas and an incredible crew who woke up at 3am to film at sunrise.
