Once I started doing bigger builds, that coffin became invaluable. Saves so much time bringing a fully built camera to set
Any links for a good coffin style bag? Lol
This is my favourite cinematography channel ever, thanks for putting this much effort!
I did get loads of early miss calls due to missing gear, damaged cables, etc.
Now I do tell production to come & check gear before they load/pickup.
I was a gaffer on a low budget project a few years back
They rented a set of canon cine primes for a week
A few days into the shoot they put the 35mm on for the first time and noticed it giving a weird tilt shift effect..clearly damaged..but there wasn't a prep day...
It turned into a blame game with the rental house
Crew swore it showed up that way, rental house swore it left in mint condition
I don't know how that was resolved
ac fucked it lol
When I was studying my cinematography teacher put it best; If you didn't check the shit before it left, you're responsible.
It's worth mentioning that when checking the distances on the lenses we don't just measure one distance. We measure several, including infinity, because lenses may be good a one distance and off at others.
Great video. Keep it up
Thanks for the informative videos!
Thanks for another banger 🎥 💯💯
Thank you for making the videos you do they are amazing
Where I live no rental house has "coffins" that fit a fully equiped Alexa Mini without disesemble some parts of it. I always ask for a fitting bag when I AC, but the answer is usually "just put it on the passenger seat" or "you have to remove some parts". Nice to see that bigger bags exist in the USA :D
All This info are tremendously important! Thanks! 🤘
I’m currently studying Film Making at uni and this channel has helped me so much with my studies.
Especially when i’m working on set as Camera OP, AC or DOP.
Great content as always! Thanks a lot 😉 Can you maybe also create video showing right steps and practices inside a camera team on set? How to correctly carry and replace camera lenses etc.? 🙂
That 90-degree SDI though… those are always worth checking
VERY IMPORTANT VIDEO! thnx
Brilliant video
Great video.
Love this channel
Great insight onto Gear check and why it is so important! Even for smaller budget films!
So, what kind of movie was used for this video?
Awesome
Plz make tutorial on post production... process
final color done in di suits and projects should send to editor..for final mastering for dcp
Love it dude. Really enjoyed watching can’t wait to see what’s next…and keep up those football tricks!
I’m actually on the way to a 10am gear heck at Panavision 😂🇿🇦
Would picture editors have to do their own gear check as it were, checking the software they use to edit or (in the olden days) check their Moviola or Steenbeck
Como se llama la película o serie qué se muestra en el vídeo
Great video as always. Minor differences from how we do in France I guess, as we don't automatically capture a clip for all lenses (except anamorphic), and we rarely have a DIT on set (or during the camera check) so it's up to 1st and/or 2nd AC to perform the usual DIT's tasks. Also you didn't mention the "confo cadre" (Frame conformity would be the most accurate translation I guess?), isn't it usual for you guys to do it?
Conformity would be for DIT.LENS DISTORTION would be for 1st AC
@@TehMr did you read my comment?
Se eu vejo Seu Jorge, eu clico.
You forgot lens projection and sensor flange test
NO HALF DAYS OVER HERE
Like when I discover my Atomos is fussy about third party batteries 😂
You forgot to mention that everyone on set is a friend of the director or cinematographer (who is a friend of the director) and has family money to help them get into and stay in the movie business, especially between jobs.
Bitter?
1:50 God, that sounds like a nightmare. I do sports videography here in our tiny little country in the Pacific and I start stressing over a forgotten audio cable at home that would've connected my audio recorder to the PA system. Then I'd have no raw commentator audio to layer on top of the video footage in post, and only just rely on the shotgun mic audio that's on my camera 🙃
great post thanks! 🤔 Question: So while doing a focus chart check, we need to use a tape measurement from: focal plane to chart to make sure glass focal length and physical distance match, correct? thanks!
Correct, except it is between the film plane and the focus chart. Also, it is important to make sure that both of those are parallel to one another.
@@thejackoss thanks man! cheers!
