From Solo Filmmaker to Cinematographer – How to Go Pro Q&A

Описание: In this video, I break down how to transition from shooting your own projects as a solo filmmaker to working as a full-time Director of Photography (DP) on professional sets with large crews.
No One ever talks about the transition from being a one man band and doing it all yourself to being a head of a film department!
