This is like a meet and greet at Disneyland!!!

[@FelixCervantes]

Tanya was the host of one of the Sony presentations in the Paramount Theater. Very cool that she knows so many well known cinematographers. She had a famous Italian cinematographer, Dante Spinotti, who did use a FX3 with the Venice in one of his last movies (Tommy Maddox was also on the panel). And I must have missed you by 5 minutes at the ARRI booth.

[@TheTimelapseTraveler]

Tanya added a lot to the video while at the same time, taking so much away.

[@rayzrsharp]

Ha! Dean Cundey! I did his reel early in my editing career. I remember being shocked because he was doing commercials for products like bug spray. Being a naive youngster I asked him - YOU SHOT JURASSIC PARK! What are you doing working bug spray commercials. He said practice. He also said it pays just as good and in some cases better than a feature film AND I get to be with family AND I work maybe 3-5 days per project. (This was back when Antione Fuqua, Michael Bay were directing huge big budget commercials for Nike, VISA, Mercedes etc.) He also explained to me that although the glitz and glamour of working on big projects is cool, it's also exhausting - especially being away from your family for 3-6 months. That conversation changed my whole view of the industry. I'm still in it and enjoy it immensely. But the glitz and glamour does wear off. This conversation was about 20 years ago. At the time DP's (at least at the production company I worked for) were pulling down $4500 per day for maybe a week long shoot. It blew my mind that these top level Cinematographers were shooting commercials for Target, McDonalds, Raid, Blue Bunny Ice Cream, Snickers etc. I'm talking guys who won oscars!! What a time that was.

[@dinoddd007]

I talked to Cundey at one of these expos and told him that I wished he had shot Jurassic Park 2 and he agreed with me that JP2 did not look good compared to JP.

[@TheFaustianMan]

tl;dr DP work doesn't pay as much as you think. and he really REALLY needed the money.

[@rayzrsharp]

@@TheFaustianMan That might be NOW, but this TLDR conversation took place that’s how much top level guys were making. Commercial directors were making on average $8-12k a day. For a 4day shoot. Michael Bay was pulling down $25k a day. This was mid to late 90s.

[@wellfoxs]

isn't it funny legendary photographers saying they know and like your work Gene? you already have some amazing fans

[@americanvista]

Full video of Cine Gear 2023 Los Angeles kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl7JiYOwlJqnjcU

[@adamouellette5971]

I don't see any photographers in this video.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

For sure. This was a cool episode. Loved seeing the various directors of photography (DPs). Good stuff.

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

2:50 Dean Cundey!!!! One of my fave cinematographers that I've ever worked with.

[@DialloMoore503]

That’s awesome! Is he still active?

[@Ryan-Payne]

Great video! Good one to see everyone so eager to chat and clearly so passionate about the equipment. Goes to show no matter what level of production everyone's a bit of a kid at heart when it comes to cool new toys!

[@alex-stafford]

I can't believe you got to meet Dean Cundey! Back to the Future is my favorite movie and his a personal hero of mine. One day hopefully I'll get to meet him too!

[@QWSfilms]

True legends. I left Cinegear at 3 pm on Saturday and drove to San Pedro to get Coffee at Distrito, got there 5 minutes after they closed. Gene you gotta tell them to stay open later...at least during Cinegear.

[@tomfranic]

That wooden fence....amazing 😂

[@CinematographyLischka]

This is such a fantastic walkthrough at Paramount Studios for Cine Gear! As a cinematographer, I appreciate your effort in providing an insider's perspective on the industry's latest technologies and trends. It's always interesting to hear from professionals discussing their projects and collaborations - truly inspirational! The mention of Shotdeck piqued my interest. It's such an incredible resource for cinematographers. It reminds us of the immense creative possibilities and the versatility of our craft. It's impressive how it has compiled shots from various films for reference. I am intrigued by the Ready Rig booth and its modular system for camera stabilization. Such advancements play a crucial role in enhancing the storytelling process by ensuring smooth transitions and movements. Can't wait to explore more about this tool. And the hope for a free Arri, I couldn't help but chuckle at that! We all dream about scoring one, don't we? Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey with us. Please keep these videos coming!

[@mightsnow3654]

I am starting a camera rental store here in Panama City Beach, Florida I hope I get to go to one of these soon!

[@mejackolson]

This guy is full of passion.

[@ArchitRege]

This was quite fun to be sitting on another continent and be able to see what's new and what's hot in the topline cinema community! You should do more of these events and shows often!

[@theharshal]

Sahi bola.

[@flyindarig]

2:51 Worked with Dean many of times! Awesome man and friend! Put ASC behind his name!

[@flaviopresutti]

Very good episode Potato! Excellent interviews with very good people. Lawrence mentioned my name when I won second prize in the Shotdeck contest last year for best behind the scenes. An honor for me !

[@undrwood]

the handshake fist moment is so underrated. 11:48 xD

[@SamHolland]

That diffusion panel looks INSANE!!!! :D

[@silveriojohan]

So much knowledge and true film industry networking, thanks potato jet.

[@wack202able]

Thank you for this tour 🙏🏾

[@Kazanyel]

this video is like tagging along your cool bro for some cool people meet up

[@JIMMY_NEMESIS]

this is what I like about your channel and your insider... you go into those real Cinema Film Gears events 🥔

[@nathanialgarymedia]

This was an amazing video! Need more content like this at other confrences!

[@armando.visuals]

GOOD TO SEE SAM!!!

[@ActionSapiens]

Do you think ShotDeck might include information about what specific lens the scene was shot with?

[@christiantheimprovguy1769]

What a great event! Thanks for sharing it with us. Yay, Sam is back! We love Sam!

[@TheTitanGen]

It was nice meeting you at cinegear. Even though it was very brief it was nice to talk for a second.

[@OrafuDa]

18:18 Perfect Outro. :)

[@losttog]

I remember watching Red Notice, It was about 7 months ago. Not sure if it’s connected but I haven’t filmed using a drone since! 🤔😆

[@Maktuf]

oh man this is so awesome!! thank you very much for the insight! :D

[@heiko4297]

There was so much information information in that video, I had to watch it twice : D

[@SinanWP]

nice casual dive to cinema peeps. do more similar events :)

[@OrafuDa]

1:30 Sam is back! Yay! 😊

[@Citizen_one]

That rossette convo at the end hit home 😂 Thanks for the video.

[@SinanWP]

13:13 please invite him for a video I want to hear more about that story

[@TheTimelapseTraveler]

Great video dude! Tanya was so annoying though!

[@mlindikasa5789]

Thanks for the Tour,future of film making looks bright.

[@AskMeWhen]

I totally geeked out with the Dean Cundey shot!

[@ScottBalkum]

It was great hanging with you and Sam this year…

[@Antsmith21]

It’s cool to see Gene in wonderland

[@RGMGFitness]

My head just exploded! 😳😳 WOW, you just covered a ton of topics in a small amount of time! 👍👍👍

[@josephnavares9632]

Thanks for the information sir, love this💖

[@dumidumibabi]

Woah- subscribed! Damn, you came out of nowhere and on point. This was really helpful and looking forward to your success - keep it up!

[@jamiedarlow]

ShotDeck sounds incredible 😍 fantastically entertaining and informative vid 🥰 thank you!

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

As if movies aren't already a cliche... now you can cliche more efficiently. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@KevwePatani]

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 could probably use a bit more vomit emojis... Look at the music world for instance, they've got names for chords, feels rhythms. And if you're a good musician/ producer you know how to express these things in a creative situation Shot deck I feel is a similar tool

[@drmatthewhorkey]

"I'm the worst at event coverage" hahaha your sense of humor shows through in all your videos

[@ezrarichardson279]

That variable diffusion is so sick!

[@injectionAI]

i love this. It made me feel better since i missed it this year

[@johnhjic2]

Hello, What a supper location for this event, So many interesting people to hear from, and the range of kit that is coming it just open up what can/could and will be done. Thanks Potato let. Keep well, keep safe and have fun.

[@floduroc]

I am looking for this crossbar from ReadyRig but can't find it. Is it a product under development ? Do you know when this is going to be on sale eventually?

[@hukmai]

I knew you would be there!

[@GNTLMAN.]

I wish I could remember people easily because I was walking around cinegear the first two days knowing DAMN WELL I was passing by amazing DPs that I’ll never notice.

[@TechTrek25]

Great video! Looks like it was a lot of fun! Good info too! 😊

[@lensfriends]

This fence joke went on for way too long 😂😂😂

[@ChrisParayno]

I love this kinda stuff!! Great episode.

[@dicekolev5360]

06:10 So you're sure I'll love it. Damn youtuber guys have become psychic s?! What a times to be alive 🤠

[@at9040]

whats the new readyrig product called? the one with the crossbar

[@flipnap2112]

this is what its like to be inside, of the "be inside", of the "be inside"... where it matters the most. the core of the core

[@gustafapplequist9059]

When is that attachment for ReadyRig coming out? I have been trying to sell my ReadyRig but that looks more useful!

[@jefferson.castillo]

Great episode!!!

[@darkreigncometh]

I love watching people geek out and talk shop!❤😂

[@ourunstablemind]

I didn't understand a single thing what y'all were discussing, but i watched the whole video without skipping ads. Regards Joy (India)

[@SilverfoxJB]

Same

[@Big10ent]

what camera was this filmed with?

[@HeavySpiral]

Whatever happened to the Arri Classic?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

So great to see Sam!!

[@ChaoticMatters]

That variable diffusion panel sounds so dope :o

[@hwcentertainment]

Sony Venice is taking over the industry.

[@derekhorsburgh6238]

Great!!! thanks for sharing👍👍

[@GimmicksVille]

Great video bro. I’m inspired. Thank you. 👏👏👏

[@AuthenTech]

what a sweet gear show

[@SinanWP]

I asked a question in unrealengine forum "how big a virtual led screen studio can be stadium size?" nobody answered. :)

[@SouthGate129]

These are the only reasons i would want to travel to the U.S

[@Ronbc000]

brilliant info. Thanks 👍

[@DLivingston]

Loved this!!

[@alazaruz]

I'll be there next year! It's time.🤓✌️❤️ -CHRIS*STARR

[@Blockdigit]

yo shotdeck sounds amazing. Also totally loved the video.

[@NibariVisuals]

Let’s goo!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JanLeviSanchez]

that's a place to drool all day!

[@BassManNv]

Vendors are super awesome.

[@ArgoFowl]

not trying to put others down but you are the best filmmaking channel on this platform no question, I'm not sure what exactly is the reason, perhaps the curiosity that you exhibit

[@pahwraith]

You can tell he absolutely loves filmmaking. Its not about clout or chasing money, he loves the nitty gritty. Its infectious. Also, he’s based in LA and works in the industry. Not many KZbinrs can say that.

[@mahfuzurrahmanasim1969]

1:22 I'm going to check that video

[@thomasfransson]

Loved it!

[@beatrizbettler646]

Sick! I went there too! Wish I saw you

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@SeanLewisMedia]

Another awesome video!

[@mixairuav]

Our man in big cinema world !

[@cambylim]

if it wasn't for this video I wouldn't know who are the people behind those amazing movies!

[@MichalOlender]

A lot of cool toys!

[@DavidJReidOFFICIAL]

ReadyRig wow wow wow NEED THIS!

[@BlinkUpMotionArtsule]

This made my day!

[@itsatekiar9750]

Deakins was there with his wife. Did you run into them while at cine gear?

[@justinashlye]

Amazing dude! God so much cool shit coming down the pipe😅

[@LucasRocksFilms]

saw dean cundy in the thumbnail and clicked on this video so hard

[@ginotarabotto]

Very cool video. Filmmakers Disneyland

[@MilesBellas]

Atlas Anamorphic = pretty cool

[@CamilleSnow]

I LOVE THIS!!!

[@swangzave]

Great video.

[@robabiera733]

The one! The only! DEAN CUNDEY!

[@antnguyen]

Hey! it's Sam! I miss that dude

[@lukeconnor421]

$5600 for that monitor is a rip off lol

[@maurice_morales]

Not for a larger market that relies on accurate color and the option to go with a higher nit value. ARRI is a premium brand and product. I already know a owner that’s super bummed he didn’t get this.

[@RichMaza]

Dangit. I put you in my CineGear video but I’m not in yours. 😭

[@hajoon98]

that dude in 11:48 is really bad at handshakes smh
