Editor/Director/Writer/All Round Great Dude
Artist living in the Bay Area. Currently work as an editor/jack of all trades at Zoetrope SF. I write and direct my own narratives (some non narratives as well). Aside from cinema, I like to dwell in the night time creating hip-hop letter art. Chasing that dream yo. Burritos are pretty great as well!
For independent, that's actually perfect. Ted Hope said something along the lines of 90 is the new 120 and 80 is the new 90.. or something like that.
The black video tip is good advice. Going to use that trick especially for features.
Turning off your phone is only good if you are your own boss. Did it once and my Post Supervisor freaked out.
Starbucks/Peets/what ever Coffee Traveler jugs. Have that, everyone is happy, specially those early mornings and all nighters.
Dry Erase marker, Sharpie, white foam core, camping chair, mini flashlight, and that funny crew member who's really only good at cracking jokes on set. That last part is important.
And slating for multiple camera, common sticks or na.
Haha! We slated our shots but the director still yelled out "That CU of the dog biting the leg! I don't remember, it was a year ago when we shot it!"
Lol thanks video dad. Most productions I've been on use red and green tape. The AC prepares the labels in red and stacks them in order A01 on top, on the camera body. But Red means do not format, Green means safe to format.
