I've become interested and work in the area when I can. My skills are in Costume/Wardrobe but some items are useful to know about and carry my own kit bag that includes obscure items, you never know when you will be needed.👍
I was told by a friend who was a script supervisor went a bought a small portable table that folds up to a Sholder bag and was great when did have a table for them. I also think this would be gret to set up battery world for charging and quick store. Just a thought.
Just to clarify…this is personal stuff you’re expected to lug around? Tape, air, useful tools, and other misc whatnots I get. But slates, filters, and covers for eye pieces, BNC accessories, etc? And how do you keep track of all the stuff YOU kick in to help the production run smooth?
A slate is good to have when you do jobs that are MOS (no sound) but still need to keep track of scenes and takes. Otherwise sound will usually bring a slate if they are good. You don't need your own filters but having extra BNC and things like that can be a huge life saver if one goes bad on camera. I put a tape label on my personal stuff so it doesn't get packed up with the camera during wrap.
Heyy, I’m an AC, I tape label everything I own. Most of the time slates, filters, and covers are provided or rented. If you don’t want to lug it around get a belt or chest harness.
@@FilmmakerSurvival Thanks for the quick reply. Is that the small bag that you have in the video? Also I don't think Panavision is taking any orders unfortunately.
I personally like the fikenca onset bag. Is smaller than this PANY bag but it the perfect size for a set bag. Those bigger panavision bags or Arri Bags are used more as a camera cart bag. On set, my bag mainly has two onboard batteries, filters, a canned air, lens cleaner, some tools like Allen French’s, any hard mattes, topper, DIY mustaches, spare pen/dry erase marker, eye chamois, backup media cards, back up battery for whatever wireless focus my 1st is using, camera reports, time code jam box, and a slate. Everything else like onboard monitors, backup cables, weather protection, handheld options, zoom options, I keep on the camera cart in a bag like that. Though I have recently switched to riding the pelican 1650 on the cart and I love it.
What size bag is this? I have the Arri Small Unitbag, but with Kim tech wipes and canned air it is already mostly filled😅 Thinking of buying a “large” as well😁
It happens lol. Not all the time, but there are moments when you need to be extremely mobile and the DP wants to bring another lens. You just have to be very careful.
@@FilmmakerSurvival I fully understand. When times of the essence you gotta do what you gotta do. Although saying that, there are other options: see link to example product: shorturl.at/flpsA

Great video ! Thank you for sharing your experience with us new ACs
Let us know if there is anything else you'd like to see a video about.

@@FilmmakerSurvival ahh, I see. So when you break down you just kind of grab your stuff like “mine, thank you very much”.

What do you mean by mag tag? Returning to this video as I build my kit out.
Mag tags are numbered tags we make with paper take to keep track of the shot media. Check out this video. th-cam.com/video/RhL1OV1wX5Q/w-d-xo.html
Great Video!
Would love to hear what to buy that you can rent on jobs!
I'll put together a video for crew gear as an AC.
Does your lanyard go into the lanyard mounting bit in your Nucleas? Or domes it attach some other way.
My personal strap just connects with a key ring onto the nucleus clip.
Great video 👍👍 Thank you for your insight
where did you get the lens wrap from?
It's been a while, but probably filmtools.
What size is your Action Packer? 24Gal?
Thank you for your videos ;)
Yes, it's the 24 gallon size.
Love the video! What is the bag called that u are using?
It's a Panavision bag.
Wait... you can fix the microforce drift by opening it up? Can you show us sometime?
Yes I can make a video about adjusting the drift on them. It's very helpful when you're on set.
@@FilmmakerSurvival That would be great. I've had to call Panavision out for a replacement on multiple jobs
Where can you buy this bag? What's the brand and model?
Added a link to the description.

I would say this is a "medium" sized bag. I think Arri still makes that really big one but that was too big for me.
Great content but links to the items would be helpful. 8-)
This made me miss assisting :C
Put a $25k + lens in a $10 lens wrap?

Why the dumb music? It’d be good to only hear you talk.
