Vivian sat down with Cole Walliser to explore the surprisingly complex finances of creating those iconic slow-motion red carpet moments. Cole breaks down what directors actually earn from viral GlamBot videos, how he built a business around a single innovative camera technique, and why going viral doesn't automatically translate to getting paid. He answers the big questions about balancing creative vision with commercial viability, managing the feast-or-famine nature of freelance directing, what building wealth looks like and how being a filmmaker outside of Hollywood has shaped his approach to money and success. Cole also shares what it's really like working with the biggest names in entertainment, from Ariana Grande to Miley Cyrus, and why protecting his creative independence has been just as important as chasing the biggest paychecks.
