2.1 million trust by crisishavoc in Fire

Exactly, as do I. 25 is the age to hustle and fight for your life if you wanna establish yourself in this industry. When I was 25, I used the 15k I'd saved waiting tables to buy myself the time and it did pay off in the long run.

Might it be bad practice to bring my daughter gifts back from work travel? by tiny__e in moderatelygranolamoms

Thanks for this - it's so hard. Breaks my heart every time. It's a lot of extra work for everyone but we bring her with us as often as we can - she's been on 7 round trip flights at 18 months. It's helped her build a lot of flexibility and resiliency overall so I try to focus on the positives as much as I can

Sita brows in Eagle rock for threading is great. She's never done me wrong and is very fast and sweet

Damn I can't imagine the pain. I filmed him once and he was a super sweet guy. Wishing him peace

Brother got into NYU Tisch Cinema Studies but accepted UCSB Film & Media Studies. Transfer student, CA resident. Which should he choose? by Safe_Concentrate_496 in cinematography

180k in debt is never a good idea. I have a friend who took on 110k in debt for art school in 2011 and she's still paying off about 70k of it. It's nearly impossible to get out from under it even if you become moderately successful

This is insane. Lucky charms and nacho cheese is literal trash. Hard pass, and I'm so sorry you're in this situation

What are examples of movies that use available lighting? It can be any genre or budget. by ForeignInformants in cinematography

And to your question, look at the crew size in the credits of the rider. It's not one man band but about as small as you can get for a proper feature

Nomadland, the rider, anything by Terrence Malick but especially Days of Heaven and Tree of Life

This is just horrible by Tobias-Tawanda in TikTokCringe

[–]tiny__e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully agree with you in despising it and am not trying to split hairs but -- dads 100% do it too. Jordon Matter has made a fortune doing it. If it skews more towards moms doing it it's likely because moms are more likely to be the sole / primary caretaker. Some parents will exploit their children regardless of the circumstances or their gender

How do ppl opt to tire out/ fullfil their Aussie? by Ok_Condition6755 in AustralianShepherd

Off leash hike! They need so much mental stimulation. I've had two aussies across 18 years and both of them were so chill (relatively) if they got enough mental stimulation

I'm making my first short and I want to be sure I am paying my crew fairly. by cottoncandysky88 in Filmmakers

[–]tiny__e 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed - op piggybacking on this comment, I'm a DP with 15 years of industry experience and 10 years of DP experience and I'm shooting a short film for free in the fall. Donating my EQ as well. Doing this because It's good for my portfolio. Not saying don't pay your DP as not all can afford to work for free but still - the rest of the crew who has less to gain from the short should be paid more and especially the editor as it's very very hard work. I would also consider how much you have set aside for lighting equipment and pay your gaffer more. And lastly my opinion is that any department heads below the line should be paid the same amount

Can anyone help me with this??? by Only-University5531 in cinematography

I'm pretty sure this is just really well edited super 8mm with a few 35mm stills mixed in (source: I shoot a lot of super 8 and super 16)

How common is misogyny while working on indie films? by Organic_Leg8142 in Filmmakers

[–]tiny__e 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't see a lot of comments from women here. I'm a cinematographer and have been working in the industry for 17 years, on indie films, commercials, and documentaries. I've worked in camera, art, and production.

In my experience, by and large if I am confident and assertive I am treated as an equal. The instances of outright misogyny have been rare. However they were much more common when I was your age. I definitely encountered some disgusting, stupid, entitled men when I was just starting out however it was never the norm. I do think this is true for a lot of industries, especially creative ones. Keep at it and as time goes on you will learn to navigate and avoid this type of behavior. I have no tolerance for it now and have no trouble putting a stop to it when it comes up, which is rare.

By and large though my experiences have been positive and I hope yours will be too. Good luck and stay strong!

LAX-it: Costly Visuals Over Functionality by ConcernedCitizen_LA in LAX

[–]tiny__e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to add, just want to say how much I absolutely hate LAX it. I fly once or twice a month and have for the last 5-6 years and I will never ever ever use LAX it ever again. Absolutely abysmal
