Time/week spent: 10h - 30h

Time was spent on pre-production planning, filming, editing, and client meetings. Initially, more time was dedicated to learning and setting up equipment, but as skills improved, time shifted towards client work and marketing. The workload varied depending on project deadlines and client demands. Online communities suggest that time commitment can fluctuate significantly, with some filmmakers working part-time while others treat it as a full-time job. Many report spending more time upfront to establish a portfolio and client base.
