Hey everyone,
I'm currently a student studying cinematography, and have found some dilemma when working with a gaffer. Often times I am very controlling in pre-production; I know exactly what light I want where with what gel and how many foot candles it will read. However, I feel like just handing my gaffer a floor plan is a disservice to them as a part of the creative process.
What is your experience/take on the Gaffer-DP relationship? Where are the lines drawn? Who does what when in pre-production?
Thanks a million!
