Pre-Production for CINEMATOGRAPHERS | Part 1

[@trethagamer13]

sheesh! the value of this video is worth more than all my 4 years in college

[@emmanuelnkwocha1275]

NO DISRESPECT TO OTHER "KZbin FILMMAKERS" BUT YOU ARE THE DOPEST YOU ACTUALLY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND CINEMATOGRAPHY ON A REAL WORLD LEVEL! FOR THAT I SAY THANK YOU :)

[@carlostigs]

Hahahah thank you

[@mihlalimali2969]

This is such a valuable video. Quite informative and well presented. Never been taught as efficiently as this in film school.

[@hendricobekker1469]

Duuuddeee, solid stuff bro.... one of the few channels that has real value.

[@petarpopovic1854]

This information is pure gold...I've just stumbled upon this video and pal, please do not stop making these!

[@carlostigs]

Thank you!

[@welchworks]

Gian Carlo with another BANGER! So hyped for this series!

[@christianhaslett]

Excited about this series. Thank you

[@samueljhand]

Dude you're killing it. As an aspiring/young DP, hearing your story and studying your stuff has been and is invaluable to me. Also, side note, I've seen that True Classic commercial and it's crazy that you were a part of that! Super well-done ad.

[@carlostigs]

Thank you Samuel

Finally someone not talking about gear only. Very happy for this series as I feel this is actually my weak spot :-) new follower here !

Welcome aboard!

[@CineDailies]

Fantastic information. Everything you said has been my experience as well. Love what you do and bring to the platform.

[@nickbradyfilms]

Let’s go, looking forward to this series!

[@robertmroczko]

Hey filmmaker friend, thanks for sharing. It’s pretty usual information. Anytime I create a proposal, I also try to add all other estimated fees for anything to do with the commercial. That way the client sees why the total cost for every aspect of the job.

[@sosalmor]

Carlo I like the motivational stuff you put out, but this is the meat and potatoes of what I love about your unique POV and channel overall. Lots of value thank you.

[@carlostigs]

I appreciate that!

[@yandidthis158]

Carlo I just want to write how grateful I am for having information like that for free. You are a true value-add to the whole community. Thank you so much and waiting for the next episodes!

[@NikHem343]

I cannot put into words how valuable this is for me right now. I was furiously taking notes during the whole thing. Looking forward to the rest of it.

Thank you

[@filmmakerseven5504]

Man! you're tooooooooo gooooood

[@piusgyagenda]

There are always high chances of things going wrong if pre production is not handled well. I have been working on projects for some good years but this video has been so helpful cant wait for more from you Mr. Carlo. Thank you so much

[@KurtVandeweerdt]

Interesting insights! Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@christiancocuzzo]

So excited for more of these videos... As a DOP in film school this was extremely beneficial!

Learned from a portrait artist many years ago: Only talk about money twice; before you start, and when it's done.

[@tommy-vella]

Thank you so much for the frame set tip! This one is huge for me. I always use shotdeck but sometimes it is hard to find the right moods for commercial clients. Wow :)

[@carlostigs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaelsbased]

great video man, lots of value to take from 🤝

[@carlostigs]

Appreciate it!

[@eravedesigns]

This content has been really needed. You are going into the depth that many of us have been craving. If possible, can you also include in this series when an art department gets involved in set building and who do they report to? How early in pre-production do they get involved and do they also attend location scouts?

[@benjiosborne]

Really useful info, thank you for this series bro

[@carlostigs]

Thanks man

[@AleksandrSergeevich73]

Hi! Great job! And where can I see the result of the work of this wonderful team?)

[@mattbmotyl]

Thank you so much for this! How do you start getting work with directors/production companies without ever doing any real DP work? I guess like how can a videographer start trying to get work as a DP?

[@V1ZNS.]

great video, thank you

[@DeepakThakur-hb4wt]

Can you tell us more about Frame set and Shot deck in detail, how can we use these platforms in our work. Thanks

Nice video! What is in your opinion the advantage of using 'Frame Set' as opposed to 'Shotdeck' or 'Flim"?

[@Zchriaa]

Can you tell us what you use to get this cinematic, film look on your videos, is it a filter or just color grading ? Thank you

please make a dedicated video on light metering

great topic. can make or break you

[@carlostigs]

Thanks bro

[@FivosVas]

Saying Producers pick their DPs is a deception. That's what we think they do, But the reality is.. they pick a director who gets to choose a DP they wanna work with. More often than not Directors don't wanna work with a random DP they never met because the producer hired a cheap person who couldn't do what was needed. Do you agree?

[@carlostigs]

Correct Directors usually want their pick but it’s the producer who usually reaches out is what I was saying

[@jonasnormann]

So tired mist filters. Start using nice lenses instead. All filmmakers use them at the moment. 😴💤🥱

[@Michal_Kedzierski]

So glad to found you from Danny. You give a lot of good info in easy to watch and listen content. It’s great for me a young aspiring dp, and sometimes I learn more than filmschool lol 🫶🏻
