EP131 | Take Advantage of What You Have - Then Go DO IT (Guest Justin Cary)
A lot of you are still in the early stages of your career. It may feel like you're falling behind or aren't moving fast enough. You're looking at YouTube for inspiration or some technical advice and seeing channels with hundreds of episodes and millions of views. You see those numbers and think "Wow. There's no way I can get there." A couple years ago, cinematographer Justin Cary teamed up with Chef Tom Jackson to shoot a barbecue video when they had nothing else to shoot. They threw it up on YouTube and 4 years later, All Things Barbecue is one of the most popular channels for BBQ enthusiasts (and a personal favorite of our Host Mike Pecci). Justin took advantage of what he had: an incredible chef and his skills with a camera, and turned it into amazing content where they only have to answer to themselves. And he has some incredible stories from along the way.Check out Justin Cary's Website:http://www.justincarydp.com/Check out All Things BBQ on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/allthingsbbq/featuredMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessWagyu Prime Rib ATBBQ Episode:https://youtu.be/ZYZXZ2a_xYYWatch Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde on YouTube Movies:https://youtu.be/1twHEJogU8IWatch The League of Gentlemen:https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00KAU8SHM/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rGrab a T-Shirt from www.movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by:www.acrylmadness.bandcamp.com/www.nightrider87.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/https://soundcloud.com/jdog19971The Episode is Sponsored by:Dalstrong: https://dalstrong.com/ Get 15% off by entering code: ILWPDALSTRONGEV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.

EP129 | Drawing a Keanu Reeves Comic Book (Guest Ron Garney)
If you've ever designed a sequence for an action film, you know that you usually start with storyboarding key frames. These frames show key moments and how you would visually represent the action. Is it a wide shot of the city block? A closeup of the protagonist's face in the rain? A shield? Comic book artist Ron Garney takes all of this into account as he breathes life into incredible heroes like the Justice League, Daredevil, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Captain America. Host Mike Pecci and Ron break down Ron's process of allowing readers to connect with characters like The Juggernaut and what it was like to create the comic book BRZRKR with Keanu Reeves.Ron Garney's Twitter:twitter.com/RonGarney?s=20Ron's Marvel Comics Page:www.marvel.com/comics/creators/120/ron_garneyRon's IG Page:instagram.com/rongarneyartMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessCheck out BRZRKR #1:https://www.boom-studios.com/wordpress/archives/brzrkr-1-sold-out-and-returns-with-a-second-printing-variant/Check out BRZRKR #2:https://www.boom-studios.com/wordpress/archives/brzrkr-2-first-look/Follow all of the BRZRKR news:https://www.boom-studios.com/archives/category/series/brzrkr/Grab a T-Shirt from www.movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comThe Episode is Sponsored by:Dalstrong: www.dalstrong.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.
