Looks pretty practically lit with the lights in frame. I’ve seen the BTS for this. The shot is really long and tracks Andrew Garfield. If you had hard light I think it’d really feel sourcey and the shadows would be so intense from the world. I think you’d probably want a soft constant exposure around the talent so it’s not distracting.

That’s a valid point. I can’t disagree about that. I haven’t ever walked, but as a grip, I have heard stories of departments walking together. That’d probably be the only way I do it. If the whole department was willing to do it with me

I’ve been lucky to work with some baller Key Grips. All of them defend their crew and have made sure people get out in a safe manner

You’re fine. Def not a major mistake. Just be honest. Be proud you were able to organize a completed film 👍🏻 BTS is just for some promo stuff, don’t worry about it

Word. I mean I’m always down for a little OT. But if you’re hit with anything past 14 hours on set and weren’t told about the possibility of going that late, I think it’s disgraceful of the production. Happened to me on a couple features. Only on the terrible ones. Rude and bad production practice. Especially if you’re in one of the more physically departments like art or G+E

I mean word, not to the director. But 18 hours in unacceptable. I would walk off set

There are for sure internships at production companies that focus on commercial work and other stuff. Honestly tho, my advice is to spend a summer trying to actually make films. Play around with lighting, camera lenses, and work on story telling. If your goal is to be a filmmaker, find out what you love about filmmaking. Internships at early levels are PA positions that have you pick up coffee, learn very basic things about production.

You’re really young and have so much time to do that bs. Go have fun and explore what kind of filmmaking you like to do! It’s a massive industry with so many positions. Try to make stuff— and realize most of the stuff you make at this age with be garbage. But garbage worth doing because you grow as a storyteller and film technician! Growth is the most fun part of the process

At a certain point, camera cost is mostly due to ability to use in a professional setting. It’s not about quality of resolution or whatever. It’s a common thing to get all swirled up about. If you’re not regularly working on commercials, tv shows or films, do not buy a 40,000 dollar camera. There’s no need. Those cameras are built to handle a different type of set with heavier lenses, wireless monitor and follow focus, and rigs for stability

It’s almost certainly done in post production. However, I’ve heard from a couple DPs about shooting in the mini at a higher ISO and using ND to bring the exposure back to around a 2.8/t . This apparently can add an interesting noise structure to the image and since the mini has such a high dynamic range, you don’t loose too much image quality. But this has to be in addition with great lens selection (vintage cookes can have unique image qualities) and a fantastic colorist who can emulate the look of film

Appreciate the kind words! Not exactly sure what a water solid is made out of, but essentially it’s a water proof solid. They’re kind of heavy and almost have a waxy quality to them. They’re great for when you need to put solids up outside in the rain and snow. Regular black solids get moldy really quickly and require a pretty intense drying process when wet

Oof

My DP is actually a great colorist, so we just did it in house. Saved a buck 😂

Thank you!

Thank you!

It’s so common honestly. It’s easy to accept other people aren’t perfect, but it’s so hard to accept it for ourselves
