@@ToddEckelman90 Definitely! I am trying to get into assisting in Paris and make my way to US. Would be great to see how you would like to be approached by someone like me who is self-taught and serious about assisting and wants to learn. Thanks
I would reach out with an email to people you would like to work with. Do research on who you want to work with, and make sure you know the type of work they do. Be upfront about your experience assisting, and be ready to do anything. Ask if you can be a second assistant. Be ready to work hard and fast, and don't be late. Hope this helps. Good luck.
I am a beginner, but from what I have seen from other gaffers on CZcams, it seems that most say that one leg should be facing the lamp. Otherwise great video 👍
Thanks for watching, you can totally have the leg facing the lamp if you like. I try and keep it balanced a little to the weight side, so if the head moves it will go up and not down on the set. That's why I keep the leg on the weight side.
Hey Alex, They are Bogen model # 3090 Boom arms. I got both of them over 20 years ago. It's now Manfrotto 025BS super boom. here is a link to B&H - www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/546565-REG/Manfrotto_025BS_025BS_Super_Boom_with.html/?ap=y&smp=y&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAvJarBhA1EiwAGgZl0PtiAoZK1apO2Ndx6sI4nwZS4zitw7-Vbe8ZqTwJNnl5s5X5NioBUBoCZ8wQAvD_BwE@@MrAlexAcosta23
