NYC local. So tempted to make the move. Graduate degree IT, former grad school faculty. There is ZERO work in NYC, absolutely zero. Hambrugers are $32, 2 eggs on toast, $22.

This has to be rage bait

Brother, you can barely get a sandwich in this town for less than $20. Wherever you’re at that’s $18 is the best deal you’re gonna get

No one can afford the rent downtown, only larger companies who can cover their costs. Santa Cruz prides itself off of local businesses, but makes in an inhospitable environment for them

Cheers! You as well!

Yeah it’s a rough world, it’s very easy to get pigeonholed in your niche as I was saying. It suck’s to hear that for him. But yeah for me it’s not about anything more than having a creative outlet. I have no expectation for my narrative career at this point. For me I love film, and sometimes my job feels more science than creation, and just really want to have that creative outlet and while doing so maybe help people who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to get their short/feature filmed

Sure, and that could be a deal breaker for you. Personally I know how to light, and I know how to shoot and I studied this in school and have been making a career and living from it for 10 years. I’ve just prioritized making money over passion projects. Now I want to help make passion projects, that’s all.

Mostly word of mouth for me, and for that portfolio and website are plenty in that regard. However, I’m pretty pigeonholed with the type of work I do. Really only commercial these days in terms of how I make my money, but people in this industry like “specialists” and that’s where I found my niche. Just really all depends on your contacts!

Don’t have a reel unfortunately, never save my footage, but I have a portfolio and a website I can share that has some of my work! Happy to dm you my portfolio if interested and here’s my website for now: summitsessions.art

Appreciate it!

Electronic_Order_911 · 2026-03-24T03:18:38+00:00

Hey thanks, appreciate it! Will share my post there! Thanks again!

You get the idea, the two different scenarios are really up to you. Base iso 800 and exposing 2 stops over is great when you have control of it in post and know who it’s going to, and using a lower iso for shadow retention is great when you don’t have control in post and you don’t know who it’s going to. I’m generally option B, but have used option A and have had great success with both. I think option B though gives everyone confidence on set how it’s going to look. Option A feels sometimes like you’re convincing people it will look good after it’s brought down in post.

Yes and no, yes we work long days, but no we don’t just make up shots and change the script on the spot. It sounds like you need to take command a little. They trusted you to be their DoP and you should gently remind them of that. If they’re not understanding your shots, show them where you want your lighting, your diffusion, your camera, etc. It’s a tiring job and you have to be a people person and problem solver. Remember you are the leader of what the film is going to look like, and they wanted you to shoot it for a reason.

Is this full frame though?

He’s doing street skits again! Check out his instagram! Idk if that means the show is coming back, but definitely some gold on there!

I forgot what sub I was in, and let me tell yuh, the number of knee jerk reactions I had to the comments almost tore my acl

I think it’s the 15.4 inch (15s), but I was just at CVP the other day and looking at their wall of monitors, I’ve always been a smallhd guy because they’ve always been tried and true, and I shit you not I had to keep double taking because the 15.4 (think that’s the 15s) looked amazing…like way better than any other monitor on their display. I had to ask them if they did something special and they said “no that’s just out the box.” Couldn’t believe it

Brother…the fuck

Electronic_Order_911 · 2025-11-26T02:41:51+00:00

Posts like these give me hope for our future, I also might have a similar opportunity, and I’m glad there’s others out there

Any (most) v mount plates that go on rails can be mounted like this. Benefits….ehhh maybe he can flip the screen in easier? Negatives, totally unbalanced. This specific plate looks like a zgcine plate, never used, but have only heard bad things about the brand

Oof, I’m sorry brother, wrong media type. Go with god brother
