Awesome responses thanks guys! And I agree about about keeping the business/personal stuff separate.

I'm in the middle of redesigning my business cards right now and would love some advice.

I am torn on if I should add my @username to my cards. I'm torn because on the plus side it's another way...

Hahaha!

I've been on the the other end of this, shouting to the film school g&e kids all the nicknames and lingo. Had a few of them come up to me at the end of the day and thank me for treating him like a...

You mentioned the Scarlet as the A and B camera and the F3 as a B and C camera(?). But you didn't mention what the RED One will be used for. Couldn't you just use the RED cameras and forget the F3?

I'd bet money they don't know what these titles even mean. It's not "key gaffer" it's gaffer. There is only one on set and below him is the best boy and under him are electrics. If I was hired to...

Very cool Paul, be sure to post the finished commercial!

Hey Michael, I retract that comment. I am on my laptop and the angle of my screen took out that light. Since I didn't know you guys were going for more of a cinema look I understand why is doesn't...

My first thought viewing these three grabs is that these aren't really lit in the traditional "commercial" style. This looks more like indie-drama lighting overall. Just curious was this for a real...

What is this real for? I don't know if I'm watching a DP, director, or editor reel.

If you're applying for a gig as a DP how do they know the images in your reel are what you shot and you weren't...

Sadly I'm not to familiar on NY grip houses but I know there are NY shooters on this board who could answer that better then me. I was betting you'd say LA.

I don't know how mobile you want to be...

Ask and you shall receive.

Looks like 4x4 shiny/mirror boards, overheads, and 18k HMI's.

Where are you located? That makes a huge difference.

Side note: Go into your account settings and list where you are based, so in case this comes up in a different thread people and easily see...

Welcome to the board!

You have to give us more info then just musical web series. What do you want show to look like? Got any links to visual references?

Me personally if I had 1-1.5k to throw...

I'm in the market for a few items to go along with a new SmallHD DP4 I just bought and I was wondering if anyone had the following for sale.

- Redrock MicroHandle Plus, the one with the hot shoe...

Lots of variables here. Travel, lodging, and food I'd assume are going to be a given (it better be). Are you supplying gear? That's going to effect it. You said you mostly work on small productions,...

Fascinating.. Thanks for the heads up! I'll pass on the Altman and see if I can snag a lens from eBay.

I would also love to change mine to:

Justin Aguirre

Since I've been out of film school since 2010! Thanks! :)

I'm looking for advice. I have a Mole Mini 2801 which has a cracked lens. In my search for an inexpensive replacement I found an online company that has an Altman 3" lens for $35. Both are 3" I'm...

Where are you located? If in Los Angeles would you be okay with a pick up? I'd love to have these bulbs in my kit.

Hello!

I'm looking to rent a Canon C300 EF mount, for Aug 3-5 (Friday+Weekend) for a low budget short film in North Hollywood. We have production insurance and would much rather spend the money...

I'm gaffing a new webseries being shot in Los Angeles called Pairings, a food themed comedy! I'm posting it here since I'm mainly talking about lighting and since I'm not the producer/director/DP I...

Is it AC only or does it come with a battery?
