Director of Photography (DP) (Canon C300) Father

Film (Short) Details
7/18 – 2/19

Brought the story to life visually. Working with the director to capture the underlying story in a way that will captivate the internet audience. During Preproduction I discussed the director's vision for the film with him, both overall and scene by scene. Based on that, I determined what's needed for each scene, within budget, and arranged for equipment and bought supplies. Then on the day of Production I coordinated the crew and worked with the director to make sure each scene was set up and shot to match the director's vision of the story. For each scene, I decided on the best combination of cameras, filters and lenses, as well as where the cameras will be placed, what the lighting should be and when the scene will be shot.
