    Excellent video James, nice one, thanks for posting it - I was wondering if Mazda gave much of a brief with parameters to work in beforehand? Did you do much development of ideas with them before being let loose on it as it were. Such as, did you run the music in your pre-shoot-edit by them for approval, did they go with your first pics or did you give options, how did that work? I imagine you might have storyboarded the shoot out for them to give them a visual overview of the idea? Or was it much looser then that?

    I've found the best investments really are the things you don't want to buy. So spend a lot on those to get high quality so you never have to buy them again! Things like light stands, hard transport cases, tripods...etc. They suck to buy but they are such high use items that if you buy cheap, they break and you just end up spending even more to constantly replace them.

    So basically if it is exciting, expensive and a flashy novelty it's probably a bad investment. And if it's seemingly boring and simple it's probably a good, reliable and sound investment!
