Q&A: Chayse Irvin Gives INCREDIBLE Cinematography Advice

[@brittanydallan1008]

I worked with Chase as a lighting tech back in 2007/2008 when his career was just starting to amp up. He was so nice and so genuine. I made a lighting suggestion and he didn't think twice to try it. After, he said to me. When someone has the courage to speak up and make a suggestion you could shut it down but it might actually be a great idea and to always consider everyone's suggestions regardless if you know it won't work. I have taken that advice with me throughout all aspects of my life.

[@AlterCineYT]

That's amazing, thanks for sharing your story Brittany! Must have been a great experience working with Chayse

[@fredericovelez9571]

This came up at a point in my life where I really needed it. Inspiring journey and work from Chayse. Thank you.

[@AlterCineYT]

Super happy to help, this kind of feedback is what fuels us to continue. Thank you and keep on!

[@hunterdaly2976]

Agreed Frederico. Thanks Altercine!

[@AlterCineYT]

Thank you guys for submitting your questions for Chayse, we tried to answer every question. Hope this helps and inspires many cinematographers to come! Apologies for the audio quality, we did our best to clean it up. We're trying to figure out a better way to capture audio when they don't have a microphone in the future!

Not every interview you watch is going to resonate. Every piece of advice you hear may not move or pertain to your situation. This interview is so concise its as if he was actually talking to me. Great content guys, keep up the goos work!

[@AlterCineYT]

So glad to hear this, thanks so much for the feedback!

[@Dragontasticvideos]

This was so good. Big thanks to both Chase Irvin and you for making this video. Just listening to Chase talking was making me think critically about myself automatically. Great inspiration! I really dig that

[@oniriscope]

Same here my friend!

[@AlterCineYT]

Glad you got value out of this!!

[@benfrewin9926]

This man will win an Oscar. No doubt about it. And then another I reckon.

[@elizak.6902]

My question made it :) Fantastic job guys! Thank you and big thanks to Chayse for doing this! Such amazing and inspirational advice

[@AlterCineYT]

Glad you enjoyed this!

[@thejackoss]

As a former business consultant that is currently shifting career to being a DOP, this was so inspiring. Thank you.

[@AlterCineYT]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cllgscreative]

Sleeping in an office that you weren't supposed to. So many filmmakers have their broke/homeless stories. Why is that? Are we dysfunctional on some level or is it society or is it both? Great vid. Love it!

[@AlterCineYT]

Haha we're artists driven by passion, not many people in the world are willing to sacrifice so much. World would be a better place if every profession had such passion. Can't imagine any other profession that would be willing to pay to create their own work (other than artists)

[@norbertvarjasi5102]

I think probably a lot more people want to break into the industry than there spaces left for them. So in the beginnning you might need to sacrifice your time/financial stability etc.

[@fintangeraghty96]

Wow! I'll definitely have to come back to this to make sure I don't forget it. There's soo much wisdom here. He's definitely one to watch. I have a feeling that Blonde will be a huge Oscar contender next year so hopefully his new preparation method leads him to a nomination.

[@AlterCineYT]

Glad you enjoyed this Fintan! Super looking forward to _Blonde_

[@lucone2767]

So helpful to see that level of honesty in a brilliant artist. 👍👍

[@AlterCineYT]

Couldn't agree more!

[@friedricengravy6646]

Ur cinematography in Blond is absolutely fantastic!! The color & b/w, both r stunning. Thank u for the experience.

[@antonbrask4574]

Really awesome interview, you can really feel his passion.

[@connornelson8639]

I needed that today. Thank you!

[@AlterCineYT]

Happy to help!

[@MattAitia]

Such a great interview. Thanks for getting to my question and putting this together!

[@AlterCineYT]

Glad you enjoyed it Matt! Thanks for the question

[@GorilieVR]

24:00 this is excellent advice. In the few weeks leading up to my 1st Feature as DoP i screened about 36 films.

[@TheGeekyAmreeki]

Keep up the great work man.

[@AlterCineYT]

Thank you will do!

[@owenbehan9686]

Damn. That was amazing. Fair play.

[@rylebartolome1777]

Wow, this was great! When are you guys planning to release the full interview? I’d love to hear it in a podcast form if anything !

[@AlterCineYT]

Thanks Ryle! We're working on figuring that out and if we're going to be releasing the podcast style as well!

[@oniriscope]

Since your announcement I’ve been ready!

[@AlterCineYT]

Let me know what you think :)

[@oniriscope]

That’s amazing value added to the conversation started on your channel! I’m really grateful to be able to find this kind of content on your channel and on KZbin for free as a aspiring filmmaker myself and as a starting KZbinr! This will surely be helpful for a loads of folks who will find this here in the future I’m pretty I’m convinced! I love and respect the fact that you figuratively and literally let artists speak their truth with their own words, that’s a great & rare quality. This must have been so time consuming, congratulation for the interview and for the content quality here! Keep up guys, it matters!

[@bananasandbass]

Awesome! You guys should make this in podcast form as well

[@AlterCineYT]

Thank you! We were thinking about it, and maybe will do that in the future. We chatted for hours and it was a bit messy so we weren't confident that people would enjoy it raw haha.

[@MrAntoineRyan]

Thanks for putting this together!

[@AlterCineYT]

No problem :)

[@reimereason]

Very inspiring! Thank you for this, Chayse! Nate, "section 3."

[@AlterCineYT]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@isaakkimmel6951]

Thanks for the motivation!

[@AlterCineYT]

Keep at it!

[@AfoteyAnnum]

Sage advice. I've been putting much of this into practice to great success for a few years already. #CinematographyGoals #Subscribed

[@DespacitoFilms]

Really inspiring

[@DaleRoossien]

Amazing insights, thanks for this.

[@AlterCineYT]

Glad you enjoyed this Dale!

[@DaleRoossien]

@@AlterCineYT Chayse was on point, I identified completely with his dislexia, and the whole concept of divergent thinking in terms of art and craft too, really great stuff.

[@Santafefashionweek]

Great interview

[@AlterCineYT]

Thank you!

[@robjohnson9688]

Hey can we have the full interview pls!!!!!

[@AlterCineYT]

Hey Rob, we're still trying to figure out if enough people are interested in seeing this whole interview. This interview went on for around 1.5 hours, so it's quite long.. we'll keep monitoring the feedback and see if that's something people want and we might start uploading the full interviews on an alternate channel

[@monkynutzuk]

@@AlterCineYT I'd happily watch the full interview!

[@Thedudemannn]

@@monkynutzuk Same!

[@kakasalvador1]

[@mikehenderson9976]

[@piyush.ochani]

Please upload the full 1.5 your interview too!

[@AlterCineYT]

[@WaveOfPanic]
