Any advice for inspiring filmmakers? In particular, a great place to start. Perhaps a course/video you recommend that starts at the very beginning of making films. Keep producing great content and elevating 💯🖤

Could tell the IQ is different as soon I played the video lol . Can't wait for your review of the Pyxis.

Good vid and fun to know any regional/national differences.
For reference, I'm in Toronto working. I work both above and below the line. I'm a union actor & I crew on production, non-union shoots.
Weirdly, I've never heard of "New Deal" here.
Also no one here uses "martini" but we know it from seeing your BTS.
Everything else is common here.

I want to add to the important "eyeliner" for everyone entering the industry, , and I can always tell the new crew members that are enamoured to watch an actor's performance. Get yourself behind a monitor to watch. Sure you're not going to displace your director or producers in video village, but best to either watch on a monitor (If I'm watching a performance, I like to peak into the AC''s monitor) OR DON'T WATCH at all!
You don't know where an actor will be looking. Just locking eyes with crew, as an actor, is unnatural for what the actor is trying to do. So if you can't be far away and well hidden, or find a monitor, you should look at your phone or your shoes. Seriously, , it's the most professional thing to do.

excellent idea for a video. wonder where you got it from....winky face. great video.

[JanWilliamsBailey]

The only one that was different in this is about the lighting term. I learnt in film school that when We turn on a bright light or turning off a like we say Sparking, And for the No sound I got told we Just gonna N-S this take. But these ones are gonna be really useful once I start having my own bigger projects.

I like “I gotta go say what up to Sheila.” if I need to 10-2. Shoutsout Justin Jemerson

[KG-theknickerbockerkid]

Are there dress codes on set? Or specific things people should avoid wearing?

[benugdsen]

Great video and content as always. 10-1 must be an american term. In Sweden we are very candid. If you need to do #1 or #2.. you just say it. 😂
