We recently connected with Adam Bobroy and have shared our conversation below.

Adam , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

My love for cameras and editing started back in high school. Right out of high school I decided not to go the traditional film school or college route. Started working for a few freelance clients and a production company that would regularly hire me. After a few years I built up my client base and worked with more production companies. Overall my mission for clients and other creatives I work with is support the image / ideas they have and add my own creative twist at the same time.

Adam , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

As I mentioned before I do not come from the “traditional” film background. I started off shooting mostly anything from cars, weddings, small businesses / brands in my first few years. The last few years have been filled with many new experiences. I’ve done work for many new brands and clients. One of my most notable jobs was last year with Mazda USA for a few car commercials / social media content. But I’ve mostly focused on brand / commercial content.
At the end of the day for me it’s less about how big the client is but more or less about what I can bring to the table to make something unique and interesting. Also working with friends on set has been one of the most rewarding things for me, nothing beats a long set day followed by a ton of laughs with people you are close to.
Every job for me requires different tools, crew, creative ideas, etc. I try to bring a relaxed attitude when talking to my clients and when working in the field. The reason for this is most clients have a general idea of what they want to achieve but once the day of shooting or editing comes around they aren’t always as confident as the initial zoom call or meeting. So making sure you are making them feel safe and confident is part of the job as-well.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being creative?

The most rewarding part of being an artist or creative is meeting other people that can inspire you and make you a better creative. I’ve learned so much just from following people on instagram or DMing them a question on for example “how’d you rig up that light to give that result” etc. So my #1 tip to people is don’t be afraid to reach out to other creatives online or in person and ask questions even if you think they are “silly or stupid”.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

People / Non creatives don’t understand that in 2022 you don’t need a degree to do what you love. Not to knock a degree and anyone reading this if you went to school, props to you. But I’ve had people tell me crazy things because I didn’t go the traditional route.

Most of working in creative spaces and fields if making connections, marketing yourself to the right client base, and honestly just hard work.. and luck haha
