What is a solebug?
Solebug or Sole Bug was the name I went by early in my career as a foot filmer. I released hundreds of videos for free and I had hundreds more that could be purchased on my clip store.
I specialized, and still do, in socks.
I am in a situation to catch absolutely AMAZING candid material. The problem is, that if your work is TOO good, people think it is fake, which some people do think about my work.
That opinion was not helped by the fact that I began creating staged content for people who wanted it. But I specifically categorized it as staged.
Some people have told me that I am too obsessive about my craft, because I'm the kind of person to go under a chair to get my videos if I need to. Privacy means nothing to me in my pursuit of quality footage, because, for foot filming, I'm an obsessive perfectionist. This has gotten me into trouble several times, but ultimately I always get the videos.
People ask me about how I get what I do, and when I tell them everything, they don't believe me. But I'll bet that the best filmers out there do the same thing I do. So, some people just decide to say that I'm lying.
So, I guess NotAlwaysRight is of the opinion that it is not possible to get
all of the candid shots I get. Only what he believes is possible. I used to be that way, and every time I'd have a belief, the world would shatter it for me.
It just depends on how far you're willing to go.
