I can understand that things can go wrong during filming, you have to accept that. But things like not even having a location set up the day of filming is just sloppy and unprofessional

The funny thing is, she ran B camera a lot of the days as well, which aggravated me even more. She should be focusing on the actors and not running camera. If she's running a camera, whats the point of having a DP?

Ive done a lot of music videos that werent very organized, but i didnt mind because the directors knew what they wanted. When a director cant tell me what they want, I have to guess, which is even harder when I dont know the scene. I guess now is the time to learn and not further down the line when I might be wasting a studio's money right?

This past spring/summer I shot my first indie feature, lets just say I didnt have the best time. The director was consistently unprepared. We never scouted locations, she never met with me to discuss scenes when i constantly asked her to. I never knew what scenes we were shooting until the night before. I also only ever saw the script twice due to constant scene rewrites. There were many times where I wanted to walk off the project. Was there anything I could have done to make this a better experience considering I had to do everything on the fly? What should the director have done?

your right i did have it backwards. but i see what you mean.

If you dont have a focus puller, couldnt you open up the aperture all the way so you have a deep depth of field, or shoot wide? I mean it would work for some shots but not the tracking ones.

Need Advice: How do you deal with anxiety before a big shoot?
Lee Tamer replied to Brian Rose's topic in General Discussion
You dont want to be over confident about a project either, its good to have some anxiety -
Ive only been doing freelance for about two years. Most of the work I've done is music videos and documentaries. Ive done very little narrative work, which is why i didnt put any dialogue scenes

High School cinematography reel
Lee Tamer replied to Cristian Carceller's topic in Jobs, Resumes, and Reels
this is impressive for any age, but especially for a teenager -
i would like some feedback. What do you think?
-
here it is, any thoughts?
-
another question, does it matter if some of the shots are cropped for widescreen and others arent?
-
ok i'll rephrase that hahaha, should i include static shots as well?
-
so for example if i put too many dolly or tracking shots that would be a bad idea?
-
What types of shots do clients look for in demo reels? What should I include to sell myself as a cinematographer?
