Starting out as a UGC creator in Germany
In most markets you film first and sort the paperwork later. In Germany the order is reversed: without a registered Gewerbe you cannot issue the invoice that a company needs in order to pay you at all, so the first step of this path is a form and not a camera. These fourteen guides take that order seriously, then cover the half nobody teaches, lighting a room, cutting on a phone, writing an opening and landing the first client without an audience.
