Chapman Leonard Hollywood Factory Tour

[@hpel1649]

The folks at Chapman Leonard are just lovely :) thanks for giving us access to those things that would be otherwise almost impossible for us to see in Canada. Cheers and keep up the good work your content is amazing :)

[@CinematographyDatabase]

thanks Hubert, I want to come visit Toronto soon! Lots of cinematography / KZbin people up there :)

[@SabrinaVideo]

Absolutely delighted that they have opened their factory to show us the building process. Congratulations for the video.

[@CinematographyDatabase]

thanks!

[@AshTailor]

She's a great host. Nice tour!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

thanks Ash

[@lachopakapura]

Wonderful video

[@CinematographyDatabase]

thanks!

[@sonnybrown4758]

I miss working in manufacturing. It's a very rewarding kind of work and usually a family kind of feel amongst the workers. Great to see that here.

[@CinematographyDatabase]

In the case of Chapman Leonard, they literally are a big family

[@CinecomCrew]

Lovely tour! Great to see a BTS of this :-)

[@CinematographyDatabase]

thanks Jordy!

[@ttowntomtoo]

[@SammaxMunich]

[@CinematographyDatabase]

[@mikegomes1514]

Love it, always good to see a family business!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

[@JoshFletcherBrighton]

Really enjoying these kinds of videos man! You're really covering all bases with the channel. Have learnt a tonne from them already and look forward to seeing more.

[@Gabemon88]

Great video! Love this sort of insight into the industry.

[@carlw3b]

[@TechProof]

This was awesome, keep it coming Matt!

[@RoadieQ]

This video is absolutely awesome much love and respect for you, your fresh content and the legendary Chapman Leonard company.

[@CinematographyDatabase]

thanks!

[@mdturnerinoz]

Matt, this was way cool seeing how the gear that enables us to have great movies is made; thanks!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

glad you liked it, there are even more rooms where they make the remote heads and cranes, but I wanted to keep this short. Thanks for watching!

[@Solveiga555]

I swear to God, you’re videos are contagious :)), i can’t stop watching :D

[@halvideos]

That was awesome

[@Tracks777]

Good! Keep it up!

[@anegi309]

Thanks mate for this amazing tour. :)

[@a-g3003]

This is awesome.

[@DeConATL]

LOVED this! now do fisher and Panavision

[@CinematographyDatabase]

I would love to do Panavision Hollywood Hills!!1

[@DeConATL]

You would be the man to make it happen! :)

[@cwoestenburg]

Wow this is awesome! I just recently got the unreal opportunity to become a dolly technician in Vancouver, and with any luck I’ll be going here to learn pretty soon. Thanks for the advanced look!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

that's great, congrats! Is Whites the big vendor out there or cranes?

[@cwoestenburg]

Whites is a big one, but I work for a branch of SIM and we’re bigger (at least for dollies).

[@NickShaheen]

😍😍😍 so many toys!

[@GerfriedGuggi]

great tour, I really love the shirt Nichole is wearing! want!!! :)

[@SkriblesX]

There's something about the role off of blown out florescence that I find so pleasing with the a6500, it's so creamyyyyy. ohhhhh........ and those dolly's are DOPE!

[@jaredjaynes]

Very cool episode, thxs matt

[@CooperFilms]

soooooo cool.

[@kyle13681]

Matt - You should go tour Mole Richardson at their new facility in Pacoima!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

yeah that would be fun, I run into them all the time at trade shows

[@kyle13681]

Cinematography Database here's the stage managers email. His names Huston. He can get you organized with a tour if you're interested: [e-mail]

[@felixstekl172]

Imagine growing up in this Headquarter!

[@Nick-zg8yh]

Biggest dream: Get a Chapman Leonard dolly! (Not so easy as a student) Fantastic Video!

[@chapmanleonardstudioequipm5]

Come by anytime! It's not as hard as you think it is ;)

[@Nick-zg8yh]

Chapman/Leonard Studio Equipment, Inc I will come! ;-) Greetings from Switzerland!

[@erics.7862]

Nick ich chumä au mit!😂

[@FabioACSantos]

Damn! Must be awesome to just be there and see all those Dollies and Cranes. The people at Chapman Leonard seem to be super nice! Are you designing some of their products to put on Cine Designer?

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Yup, I'm adding the new stuff first. I have the Super PeeWee 4 already added

[@FabioACSantos]

Brilliant! Hope I can get Cine Designer one day. Seems to be an incredible tool to have for prep. Cause as Juan Solanas once said at a CineSummit: "The day is the day. If you don't prep, the day is fucked you know?"

[@CinematographyDatabase]

lol I like that quote

[@FabioACSantos]

Yeah, I love it too. Had to screen record it so it'd remind me to prep whenever I felt lazy!

[@philipalcazar]

thanks for the video! loved it. photography looks really steady for a small handheld cam equip. i can see you have a zhiyun 3-axis gimbal.. can you recommend it?

[@tomdchi12]

I was so hoping for: static shot straight at a wall, coming in from the side of the frame is Matt posed like Washington crossing the Delaware on a dolly pushed across the frame... Still... very cool to see that gear being made!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

lol, there is a DP on Instagram who does shots like that weekly

[@GrandGeneralKukov]

Loved the video - thanks! Looks like you've started using a stabilizer for moving shots? If so, do you have any tips for how to avoid "head bob" when walking? I've had my Pilotfly H2 for a year now and even with the most careful "marching band walk" I still get head bob and it drives me nuts.

[@louisb_dp]

Thanks for this video Matt! What if you were the first person to present a tour of the RED factory next time?

[@CinematographyDatabase]

I would love to do that, we need to start a hashtag lol

[@thenerdherdforum]

WHY DID THIS END SO QUICKLY GIVE US MORE

[@CinematographyDatabase]

hah, I tried to keep it KZbin friendly and short, I think they are making a longer form doc about the company at the same time

[@chrisw443]

wowzers!!!

[@vegardpedersen]

good video! :-D

[@TheFilmFeast]

Yo, her t-shirt is dope. Wish CL's website had access to swag!

[@Kinomarat]

LooooooVE IT!!!!!!

[@bat__bat]

I'm surprised they allowed you to use a ghastly gimbal in their dolly shop! How much is one of those crane/dollies worth at the end? Do they sell & rent, or just sell?

[@kunsunrethy]

would like to see you doing video about whats behind Psy - I LUV IT mv.

[@technoober2538]

Wow I want to work there.

[@Digital.Done.Right.]

This is great insight to how the things we also don't often see get produced. But helicopter mom was a bit weird.

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Thanks! Her mom was there to help us with some of the facts and history and she was helping watch the doggy!

[@ziakalyan]

These are killer fucking videos Matt! So good.

[@CinematographyDatabase]

thanks appreciate that Zia

[@KwasnikPictures]

NotifSquad Yoooo

[@IslandFilmMaker]

The Filmmakers Toys R Us :)

[@SBBLURAY1]

Mom, get out of the way! Like you've never seen a camera.

[@alex0589]

Dude, that was fkg awesome. They are awesome. Now i know why the dolly costs so much aha

[@CinematographyDatabase]

lol thanks. It is an pretty impressive piece of kit. Wait until you see some of their bigger cranes and vehicles

[@vegardpedersen]

dollywood! XD

[@CinematographyDatabase]

I borrowed that from someone on Instagram

[@1BigBucks1]

Dollywood

[@GripTips]

Ugh....pinch me haha

[@CinematographyDatabase]

hah, you have to come to the next one!

[@sashaunfiltered]

why did the assistant marketing manager give the tour?

[@sashaunfiltered]

not that the tour itself was not appreciated!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

She does a lot of tours and demo's of the products for industry DPs, students, etc. and technically Leonard finished the tour with her :)

[@sashaunfiltered]

Aaaah I see, family owned business so clearly she knew everything inside out and I just wondered if she also worked on sets in the past as well. Thanks Matt :)

[@jarmens74]

My dad works at champman his name is George
