Omg hahaha I never watched the Hulu one! Only Netflix. That sounds like a solved mystery to me 😂

I literally just thought the exact same thing! Did yall return the keys to the villas you took?! Jeepers

Lol that is so legit. Lol

I thought the same. Others couldn’t get in villas because the film crew had all the keys.

wait that's crazy 🤣

A cruise ship WAS mentioned (in one of the documentaries) to supposedly house some of the concert guests. Can’t remember which one.

​@@tiaremaui I think it was Netflix one.

That’s because the people did fire festival made it shitty on purpose to make it into a big scandal to make money off the documentary that’s how it works😊

​@@TheMattHardyFan21 yup, i dont have Hulu, but i remember them discussing the logistics of having a bunch of drunks trying to board a cruise ship 😂

‘It’s a good story for a party’ lol

I really appreciate that Lisa! I have so many bizarre stories from working in this industry. I might make it a whole series 😂 thanks for watching!

Agreed

@@JordanPulmanoit sucks to have cruddy industry experiences but a series like that would probably be amazing! (Or at least entertaining for us watchers😅)

@@JordanPulmano Omg, you totally should! I bet so many people would be interested in that series!! I know I would for sure!😁💜

Yeah I think if they knew what was about to happen they would have taken the resort option 😂 but then again if they didn’t stay, they wouldn’t have that wild adventure story to tell.

I think that one didn’t go well either 😞

exactly right. you want to go J P I am going ;)

Fyre fest 1 never even happened so to say fyre fest 2.0 would insinuate that the first one happened when it didnt😂😂

@@wakenow1first attempt was Fyre 0.50 🤣🔥

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

Hahaha the fam was definitely concerned when it hit the news 😂 thanks for watching dude!

Man it was a crazy time 😂😂 thanks for watching dude!!

Hahaha don’t let this deter you! I’ve been to some of the most incredible festivals around the world and can ensure you, it’s worth it

@@JordanPulmano insure

Yeah it was so nuts but such a great story to have. And luckily it ended up okay so I can tell the story hahaha

Haha enjoy my friend!!

Haha thanks for watching!! It was wild for sure

Nothin like the classic eulogy switch up into a Fyre fest story! Gets them every time. Thanks for the sub!

Hey Stephen! I’ve never been, but Burning Man has always looked so incredible to film. I have tons of friends who have shot pieces out there. Crazy what happened there this year. Fortunately for our production crew, we were hired by an agency who was hired by Fyre. So they paid us out of pocket for the time we spent there. It wasn’t the full rate on our deal memo, but they made sure to take care of us which I always appreciated.

It definitely made my experience a little better haha. Thanks for watching!

Truly a wild concept right?! 😂

Man the Fyre Flu was no joke 😭

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

Me too-great entertainment!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching the video

Hahaha so true

😂yea' times were simple then, expectations are higher now,no cheese,steak or even bacon is expected

They also had world class legendary music acts at wood stock, and plenty of LSD. All of the music acts cancelled Fyre. There was literally nothing to do. And I'm pretty sure it was significantly more expensive than Woodstock.

It was definitely a gig to remember! Haha thanks for watching!

@@JordanPulmano Always a pleasure.

It sure is! It was worth the madness for sure haha. Thanks for watching!

That’s just insane, I kinda feel bad cause if the villas were available more people would’ve had shelter but honestly, FF should’ve never happened anyway

😂while,some people were laying out,on the beach ,and getting booty,and feeling great, picnicking,and having a great time through it all,so I'm told

Thank god it was the good way 😂

well you gotta remember we didn’t know how big of a thing this was. To us it was just a cancelled festival that was trending on Twitter so we didn’t really think to document it other than a few clips on our phones.

Not to mention for the 2 who were stuck on the island, the cameras we had for this festival are not just point and shoot. They have to be built & setup and it’s not quite as easy to just have it on and rolling haha

Yeah luckily we were hired by an agency who was hired by Fyre, so they paid for our time there which I thought was totally fair.

Exactly! This wasn’t the only time in my career that things didn’t go as planned. Just a part of the game haha. Thanks for watching!

@@JordanPulmano Certainly a story in your life that you will never forget and you learned from. Id say you earn lots. ;-)

It was literally a paid vacation that’s what I tell people haha. Thanks for watching!

Hugeeee Like guy. Massive Like guy, even.

Woah, that’s crazy it’s almost like you weren’t there! Also, I was sent to the other island while the rest of the crew stayed on Exuma with all of the gear. I did not have the gear. Was also sitting on another island while all that went down. Without the camera gear. At a resort where no action was happening. So.

@@JordanPulmano "A photographer *eats* with his camera. A photographer *sleeps* with his camera." - Jimmy Olsen That was your choice, but ask anyone who works in news: You'll see what I mean. Once the shoot was canceled, it was all bets are off. That gear was yours to do with as you pleased. You could have called the other crew members with the gear on the Island to cover this event. Express to them that this is a major news event and there are no news crews covering it. Whatever they shoot is highly valuable. Get B-Roll, Get Interviews, GET THE STORY! Strip the gear down to the most basics: Camera, cards, batteries, sound and just start shooting. Meanwhile, you could have been moving heaven/earth to GET TO THAT ISLAND. No matter what, even if all what I had was a basic DSLR, I would have started covering the event, and getting an interview with Billy McFarland.

😂

What event? There wasn't an event, it was a cash grab... It's was never fully set up so people showed up to absolutely nothing!

You know what, I can’t even hate on this recommendation hahaha.

My friend who was stuck definitely filmed some stuff but me and the others didn’t really capture our paid vacation on the resort when we got out 😂 It was one of those things though that we didn’t know the scale of what this would be when it was happening.

@@JordanPulmano I can imagine! And I'm glad you didn't go through what the festival attendees did.

Thankfully I did haha. We were hired by an agency who was hired by Fyre. I don’t know the details but I assume they paid us out of pocket without being paid themselves…

My friend who was the one stuck on the island documented some stuff on his phone / Snapchat glasses which were the thing at the time. But they were a bit wrapped up in trying to get off the island with multiple cases of camera gear haha. Also, the camera gear we had out there was not the type that you can just pull out of the case and start filming in the situations they were in.

They were definitely thinking how I should be taking them to the park instead of filming a video 😂

I don’t know if I’ll be at the next one. But if I do get the call, I don’t think I can say no 😂 that would be too good for content for this channel.

Immediately read that in Mark Normands voice 😂

Right?! It’s so crazy how this could have been one of the most iconic music festivals in recent years (for a good reason and not what it’s known for) I often think 7 years later what this experience could have been if it had gone right.

I just saw your reply post to another. I never take a video production job unless I'm paid half upfront for this very reason.

@@freakctrlcgistudio2587 yeah for direct to client jobs I do a 75 / 25 on the production budget, but unfortunately that doesn’t exist on the crew hire side of the industry. You sign a crew deal memo and it’s a net 30 payout on invoices. Or net 60 sometimes which is just annoying unless it’s a huge gig haha

Coming out with a part 2 but it’s just 6 hours of me saying that like an old Mr Beast video.

I got paid by the agency that hired me for the time I was there (basically a paid vacation) but I have a feeling they paid everyone out of pocket without getting paid by Fyre…

Lmao you know I gotta exaggerate a little for the story 😂

I got paid for the time I was there through the agency that hired us. As a contractor in video you typically do not get paid for atleast 30 days after a project so you sign a deal memo with the payment terms. you never go into a project with money in your pocket unless you are hired directly by the client and are acting as the production company or agency, in which you get a percentage up front. Hope that clears up the confusion haha

Wayyy more boring than your daily life I’m sure

Lol I got to the end n I was like… that was it

@@mynameisbetty1767 what did you think was going to happen. This isn’t a Guy Ritchie film lol
