Can you please explain who is a "rental Prep Technician" and what do they do? Thank you for your knowledge, love your channel.

@@KolotovGleb for sure! A Prep Tech (as they are usually called over here in Australia) are the people to prepare the kits going out for hire for jobs. So you'll work at a camera rental house and prepare the cameras and any accessories for jobs. You'll also maintain the gear, clean it and sometimes do some simple repairs. ☺️

@@flickcine Thank you so much!

I'm not that new to this, but still really appreciate this sentiment. Sometimes it can feel so hard to make those contacts but when they do come through and great projects happen it's such a reminder of the good of the gig. Thanks for the backstory!

Just awesomely satisfying for getting confidence

you have no idea how much this helps and motivate me as I am entering to this industry! Thanks

Love your videos working my way as an assistant and loving it too, and this has been inspiring

Yay 100th episode, congrats!! Thank you for sharing your timeline of AC -> DP :)

Congratulations on 100th episode!

Congrats on the 100th!

I just found your channel! Love your videos. Hope you come back to make content again soon.

This was helpful, Thank you

Great Video! Congrats on episode 100. Hope you are doing well in Melbourne, staying safe. As someone who is studying film at a tafe in Canberra, it is very helpful!

Would love to see a video about your experiences doing a TAFE vs. university course in film production and what you found more useful - I've had very different experiences between them as well!

I'm so glad I found my way to your video! I recently graduated from a film & video production program and due to the pandemic, I had to leave New York. I'm staying with family in Virginia and the job opportunities are almost slim unless you have experience. As hungry as I am to get it out into the industry to start on the path to becoming a DP. Would you mind sharing your experiences with film school and how it did or didn't help you? And would you also share what you do during these quarantine times to stay sharp and improve your craft around the house? I would love to hear any suggestions to practice and keep active in cinematography. Thank you

I am curious about what shows you're enjoying right now for their visuals. Nice video as usual.

Really been enjoying your channel. I see a lot of KZreadrs who try to be filmmakers and then filmmakers who do KZread to share their knowledge. It is a lot more genuine hearing and learning things from you! I am planning on going to school for Communications and then hopefully finding work in production as an AC eventually. I am wondering what you would recommend doing to start learning and getting experience. I just booked my first official job for a wedding and would like to find some work as a PA on sets but there aren't many nearby.

Yes! I want to know your experience about the extensive course you took! I'm trying to get into an DP course in Portugal!

It wasn’t quite an extensive course. It was a broad film course so it covered the basics of everything and aimed to set you up to start trying to find work. It was great! But not focused on cinematography specifically. There is one course here for cinematography in Australia at AFTRS in Sydney, however I’ve not done that course. Man, it looks good though!

@@flickcine Thanks for the feedback! It looks like a similar course i took here in Portugal, it was a 3 year professional course equivalent to the 10-12 grade, it also covered the basics of everthing in general, and it was also a bit aimed to find work. Well, it is quite expensive for a 1 year course it is arround 2000€, but the reviews I've heard are preatty good.

Thanks for the video. Any tips being an assistant to a DP? Did you use Google Drive at all to keep notes?

How many personal projects or films did you make back then (or throughout the years) with the goal of becoming a dp?

While assisting? Ohhhh I didn't count them. I maybe a handful a year. I got more and more as the years went on too.

Hey, Felicia! Your channel is a hidden gem. I've learnt more here than I have in film school or trawling through KZread. I was just wondering what happened to your socials?

Hi there! Thanks for the kind words. The tafe course I did was in Melbourne at Swinburne. It was a number of years ago now so I'm not sure how it is run now. I have however done a few short courses at AFTRS in Sydney and they were so so fantastic!!

My local TAFE has a cert III in screen in media too and my new day job is pretty flexible so hope to do some study this year either way. Thank you.

Would you say starting as an assistant is the most common path for becoming a DP?
