Solid stuff. You touched on connections from set. I'm a 3rd year film student and intern making my connections in commercial and narrative feature spheres. One thing I've learned is just get on set and work with other people. Don't just only be the DP or cinematographer right away. Build connections and work your career from the ground up if you can. As a PA, grip, 2nd AC, or whatever other "smaller" you can learn so, so much. Just rushing to be a DP without learning from older and more experienced gaffers or DPs from working under them might just hinder your growth. Yes, being a DP or cinematographer is great, but like you mentioned from the book you quoted, you don't have to be the main character or star as a DP. You can sit back and learn while working hard to help someone who has been in the game longer than you. Your time will come, but staying on as a "smaller" role on set for a few years is valuable experience. Also, it's more attractive to fellow film set peers if they know you're a hard worker and willing to fulfill any role needed. Plus later on, you can teach the next new guy who is on the journey. Only wanting to be the DP or camera operator can come off as arrogant or ignorant perhaps. Also, off that, maybe just only wanting to be the DP could limit your options or make you have to do projects solo. Going solo is viable but the more solid creative people on set, the more you can do. Also, it looks more professional to clients if you have a team that works hard and produces quality material. Going solo might still produce quality material and impress clients though. It just depends on the client. Also going solo can be financially appealing to the client since they only have to pay one person. But in my opinion, if a company can afford to pay for a full crew to get high quality material then they should. That goes for the DP/Cinematographer too. If he/she is willing to give up a little creative control and bring on someone else (whether they be more experienced or less experienced like an intern) a lot of amazing things can happen. For me, I enjoy being a solo videographer for free but if I'd rather be on set with people I can trust to do quality work while I work hard to do what I can for the project. It also can be relieving to jump on someone else's project but not have to worry about all the visuals. You could run audio or lighting instead.

the first point is so key. Especially about how people are busy. If someone isn't interested or responsive to bringing you on board for a current project don't take it personally. Again, they're just busy. Do not be afraid to ping them again in 30-90 days. Obviously, make sure you're not coming off as desperate or annoying but just a little reminder of the work you do and the interest you have in working with them. I've had to follow up about 6 times before with a producer in an email chain stretching almost a year and a half but finally, something came up.

Man, all day, this! As somebody who's entire company and livelihood is based in the commercial space, the #1 thing I tell people is not just to make connections but make connections with actual decision-makers in the hiring process. Networking across the board is great because you never know the rolls people will find themselves in, so as a long terms play, make genuine connections with everyone. But in the short term, pour a lot of energy into people that actually have the discretion necessary to hire you. 99% of the people the actually make the decision on hiring me and my company have the title of "Creative director", "Media Director", "Communications Director", etc. Those are the people who actually make the decisions to hire external creative or not.

when you say double exposure are you referring to image stacking in camera? I ask because you did a lens swap and I'm assuming the star photo is later in the evening, that is a long duration of time between photos. Can you lock your camera to stay on a frame for any duration of time? I have been shooting multiple exposure for a long time and my dslr can do 3 exposures however, the multiple exposure function turns off after thirty seconds, and it pisses me off. I can hack through it if I keep the camera busy by constantly hitting the focus button, but I really wish my dslr worked like my canon eos1 that can do 9 exposures stacked on 35mm and will remain in multiple exposure mode until I turn it off myself.
