    "Never rush a lens change" so many people could use this advice!

      could you explain why for me a rookie please ?

    • @larsosejohansen
      @larsosejohansen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      jean-raoul Because you don’t want to scratch it, drop it, get dirt on it, hit it into something and so much more..

      How about zero so we don't ruin sound?

    • @thormaster06
      @thormaster06 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      What's easier to fix in post? Sound or pit stains?

    • @CZsWorld

      thormaster06
      Pit stains can be fixed in production. Just wear an undershirt.

    it's information like this I wish I knew when first getting into filmmaking.

    • @filipparulski
      @filipparulski 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yup, the awareness that as a crew member you're up for some physical work with no creativity involved whatsoever! (unless you're a DP, director, actor or a screenwriter)

  • @AdamSheldonFilm
    @AdamSheldonFilm 7 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    Enjoyed this episode! Good to see Film Riot talk about lower roles on TV/film sets, not enough indie-filmmakers realise that working as lower roles on bigger/professional productions is a great way to one day getting to where you want to be. I made the choice about a year ago to start working as a camera trainee on TV dramas and films instead of DOPing unpaid short films and it's possibly the best decision I've ever made. I still DOP shorts when I can but working in the camera department on professional shoots has taught me more about cinematography than shooting stuff on a Canon 5D ever did!

    • @sanjacobs6261
      @sanjacobs6261 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is huge! Getting into real professional productions is really THE way to do it.

    • @vgcomedie
      @vgcomedie 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This has been one of the best in a very long time which is not to say that the other videos weren't great

    @MrMejia187 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow, came back from my first Camera PA job today. 2nd AC had to go so they delegated the role to me, and turns out I was doing okay from what the video says. I thought the 1st AC not giving me the lens was him being a hard ass, but it's just etiquette. Woops! He's a cool dude though. Really great video, I'ma do so much better tomorrow!

    nicely done I've been a career 2nd AC for about 11 years and I was surprised how in depth you've gotten. The job of course does get a lot more in depth but this was a great start. The way I always look at it the AC's job is kind of like being the Mother Bear to the Cub (Camera + Gear).
