EPISODE 153: Why Shooting Coverage Matters
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Monday Feb 26, 2024
When I first started my career it was a lot of verite/documentary style coverage. Which usually meant going hand held and running around grabbing what I felt were interesting shots. As my career progressed and working on larger sets with more demand for a structured approach, I soon realized that my approach was had too many faults. There was a lack of coverage that not only made my time on set longer than needed but in the edit there were a lot of gaps in where I could have told a more thoughtful story. Today i'd like to explore the concept of coverage and why it matters to you as a cinematographer.

EPISODE 151: Awkward Moments On Set
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Last year on a commercial production I was there was a very awkward moment on set that. One of those situations where you have to ask yourself, "if I were in that position what I would do?". I wanted to share that experience so that if you ever find yourself in a similar situation you'll be prepared to respond in the best way possible.

EPISODE 150: A Case for Hard Light
Monday Feb 05, 2024
Monday Feb 05, 2024
The last few years we've seen a huge cross over from photography to cinematography, with many adopting the ultra soft light look. Nothing wrong with soft light at all, give me a 12x12 of magic cloth with a grid all day! However, there are instances where balancing between having both hard and soft light has created a new paradigm shift away from your traditional soft source lighting. Today I wanted to talk about how i've been incorporating both types of light and how you might find it beneficial as well.

Should you still be posting to Instagram these days? What about YouTube, is it still worthwhile creating video content on a very saturated platform? I believe it is, but you also should have a very specific goal in mind otherwise your time and effort might not be put towards the best areas in your life. In today's episode i'll be covering some of the reasons people shy away from posting more on social media and ways we all can get over the initial hump to growing our personal brands and thus our businesses.
