Wow! We are getting so very close to 1000 subscribers! Thank you so much to all of you. I never even imagined having this many subs at all so this is all pretty awesome and I am thankful for every single one of you.
Hope you found this video helpful and if you have any ideas for other videos you would like to see, leave them below!
11k more subs in 18 months. So happy to see the channel growing! :)
14:10 I usually printscreen the callsheet or schedule and add it as my background on my phone when it’s locked! That way I allways have the time and what we are doing, without even having to unlock the phone. It can be a bit tricky as u you say, pulling up the phone on set, but when you have showed your colleges, they usually start doing the same. Papers can blow away or get wet, but u tend to take better care of your phone. Best regards from Sweden!
That is a brilliant way to do it! Thanks for watching :)
so brilliant
i would say this is the most helpful channel i found in 2020!!! thx for sharing your knowledge!
Love these videos. Thx.
You are just so excellent, inspiring stuff
Thank you Felicia! Super useful and accurate as usual. I've been working as a 2nd AC for just under a year in the German film/tv industry and I have to say that the details you talk about regarding professionalism, being super prepared and having organized kits etc is universal and definitely applies here as well. So I'm glad you're teaching people the right stuff :)
I have a request! I'll be starting more of my own low budget projects soon and right now I'm having to figure out what our post-production workflow will be, especially regarding shooting format, backing up, making proxies, working with raw footage, bringing things into davinci after avid etc. If you have knowledge on any of this I'm sure many people would find it helpful :)
Have a wonderful day!
Thank so so, so much Boyko! That's really lovely of you to leave such a nice comment. Ooooo I personally don't know too much about post production work flows so I don't think I'd be the right person to discuss that. But I could definitely learn about it and see if I can :) just don't want to give anyone incorrect info on topics I'm not well versed on. You have a wonderful day as well :)
You are such a gem!
I have a question about the "on set" time. Actually most of the time they say in big black and bold in the title "RTS at 1030" whis is "Ready to shoot". That one is obvious and makes sense. But during the pre-production I am always asked how much time I need to be ready. I would say "sound is ready in less than 30mn, 3 talents to wire, 2 crew, 1 boom, int shoot so very fast". Then then when I receive the callsheet my "call time" would be 1000. That means I'm expected to come at 1000 so I can be ready to shoot at 1030. But I'm not expected earlier because set manager is doing stuff, a lot of people are doing stuff on set, I have no space to operate; and I have to wait for the space and talents are still not there so I can't wire anyway.
It also happen sometimes than when I'm not asked how much time I need to prep, they would give me 1hr before Ready to Shoot on the callsheet; when I need only 20mn (only 1 boom, no wire). In that case I might just reply "I don't need that much time, I can be there only 30mn before RTS, see you tomorrow" and first AD would be OK about it.
Sometimes they even don't bother you that much if you're late on your "on set" call time, as long as you are still ready way before RTS.
That accent is bloody beautiful!!
Hey! Cool video!
I've been thinking of putting velcro all over my clapperboard, and using it only with velcro tags that I'd prepare in advance...I wonder if it's such a good idea, have you got any thoughts on this?
Definitely a good plan! I'd reccomend printing and laminating custom slates per job and putting Velcro tags on that. That way you won't damage the board when changing it up for different types of jobs.
Also print HEAPS of extra labels. They always go missing.
I am interested in seeing your Slate template
Oh cool!! I'll clean up the template and make a download link!
Been loving your videos. I've been a photographer since the 90s and have recently gone on o video. About to start my second Documentary. This time I'm doing it right with a lot of resea ch and a crash course we in Filmmaking. Your videos have helped alot to prepare and do things industry standard. Things are a bit different with documentries, but it helps. I'd like to see a video on how the industry standards relate to filming documentaries ie there's not a option a scriptand not much of a film crew. I like to see a video from you on how and where the differences are
@@wickedeyestudios4940 Oh amazing! I am so happy the videos have been helpful. Yeah Doco is very different to any other type of film. I'm not too versed in the world of documentary. I'm actually shooting my first one at the moment and hope to make a video on my experiences when it's completed and I'm able to show footage.
Fantastic channel! Came from Knoptop’s last video
Thanks so much, Nate! Just checked out some videos on your channel too. Nice stuff!
What is that called? (Lying near your left hand)
Just searched google... It's called a clapper board.
