I am studying to be a Cinematographer at full sail and this was really helpful,Thank you sir...

Don't become like him. He does way too much talking. If I was his focus puller I'd go nuts.

[@patriciastackpole8839]

Weird how he holds up film in the beginning. He is not using a film camera.

Nice…🎉

[@csselement]

Inspiring. Really enjoyed this.

[@r3dfella]

This guy is really good. He knows what he's talking about

[@GizmoCode]

to be honest, I think he talks a little too much. Never met any camera op with so many points of view on everything. He's got to frame the shot. Not talk to the actors, or talk about lighting. That's someone else's job.

@@GizmoCode thats the same thing i was thinking, i legit never seen a cam op talk as much as he did on set.
