What are Paul Rogers’s most popular content creation tips for filmmakers?

Hi, I’m Paul Rogers from That Creative CEO. Love this question.

Based on what I teach and what performs best with creatives and filmmakers, here are my top content creation tips:

• Sell the brain, not the camera – clients don’t care about your gear, they care about your ideas and how you think about story, pacing, and emotion.
• Show before/after and breakdowns – quick edits, color grade comparisons, or “how I turned this boring clip into a cinematic ad.”
• Make “client-attracting” content, not filmmaker flex reels – talk about results (sales, bookings, attention) more than transitions.
• Recycle your best shots into multiple pieces: hook-only reels, BTS reels, and “here’s how I got this shot” commentary.

What kind of filmmaking work do you do right now—commercial, weddings, narrative, or something else?
