What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
My main responsibilities are the same as anyone running a small or their own business. This includes producing content, like the products I make for YouTube, but also managing the business side of things.
For example, if a company releases a new guitar and wants me to make a video about it, I coordinate everything with them. I need to know their launch date, get all the guitar's details, and confirm if it will be available on the launch date or if it's just a preview.
There's a lot of scheduling and coordination with other companies, which is a big part of my role. Then there's the technical side: camera work, editing, and audio recording.
To some extent, I also handle film aspects like scripting or using bullet points. For specific projects, I might hire someone like a director of photography. I need to understand their terminology to communicate effectively.
Overall, it's a wide variety of tasks. My responsibilities are very similar to anyone running a small business, regardless of the specific industry. Many people end up doing similar things when they run their own business, no matter their field.
