And I always asked myself this question in all production situations, it's basically like, who's gonna die here? Like, what are the stakes? Okay, so nobody's gonna die. Everybody relax. Let's just, let's just do our jobs. And we're do our good jobs. We're all professionals ...
It is a bit galling that they are still getting calls for those jobs I suppose, but who knows what their rates are. I doubt they are making $3k/day in labor, without gear rental. On the other hand, simply having the knowledge on how to do something doesn’t automatically make the ...
San Francisco, CA Premium Member PostedSeptember 6, 2020 Tim, here's what I got so far. Feel free to edit as you see fit, I'm not tied to anything. Also, apologies in advance if I've offended anyone with snark. It's all meant to be tongue-in-cheek. --- LIGHTING. How do I ...
I'm assuming that most films finish in 2K / HD still, since many are shot on Alexa which is not a 4K camera? What do Marvel block busters finish in vs. Indie films? At this point, a very slim percentage of my professional / paid jobs finish in 4K, but I work mainly in TV and...
keep crewing for now, I think it may be a good idea to keep working in G&E. Lighting is so important to the job, and being able to drive the grip truck, build rigs safely, and operate the dolly could make a big difference in the production value of your early low budget DP jobs....
tell them that if I get an offer at my full rate (or union hours) then I'll replace myself. Most producers when I'm working lower budgeted jobs understand. When your newer and starting out though insisting on things like this is hard. Especially the last few years I've found that ...
Satsuki Murashige Premium Member 4.6k Cinematographer San Francisco, CA Premium Member Posted January 16, 2021 What I was sort of getting at is that a multi-tool will never be as good at a specific job as a dedicated tool. For some jobs, the convenience of having to carry only one...
But seriously. Those studios generate a few hundred jobs a year, each of which lasts a few weeks, and almost all of which are on the sort of ultra-high-end stuff that you won't be getting involved with for ten or fifteen years - and in ten or fifteen years, it almost certainly won...
I don't really see the point in buying de-tuned lenses like this (unless you're a rental house), since they tend to be suitable only for particular jobs. It makes much more sense to me to rent such lenses, where you can choose the particular de-tuning you want for for the look re...
Pretty standard for digital are: IRND filters, ND filters, some form of diffusion (not always - some jobs very sharp undiffused is what you want). Polarizer Pretty standard for film are: ND filters, 85 filters, maybe diffusion filters - but less so than for digital and even less s...
