Mi Ki Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) What is the best position to start? I have only experience with DSLRs and I dont know anything about shooting with Alexa or RED and all these high-eng gear, so I am a bit afraid I would look like an idiot on the set. What is the best place to start for me? Edited March 27, 2015 by Mi Ki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best place to start for me? Where are you located? There are plenty of workshops all over the world that deal with basic operation of those cameras.

Premium Member Bill DiPietra Posted March 27, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 27, 2015 If you can't find a workshop, I would just try to get on some film shoots (student, indie or whatnot) that are using those cameras so that you could get some experience with them. If you have any friends who own one of them, even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Patrick Ellett Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I would also recommend looking into rental houses in your area. Internships at rental houses are great gateways to getting acquainted to gear and meeting camera crews. But I would say the best way to learn a camera is to be on set with it.
