Hello all,
This is my first post to the forum and I'm glad to be here. I am an undergrad cinematography major and I will be shooting my first show on 35mm. Naturally, a gear head will be best for our studio work, but I have only worked as an assistant with the equipment.
A few operators and DoPs have told me that tracing a circle on the wall with a laser pointer is a good way to start out.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can practice? I'll have just the prep day and the test shoot day to figure out the muscle memory. (Unless I should just settle with a fluid head?)
Thanks for your time in advance,
-Jeremy
