If you are a solo filmmaker, creator, freelance videographer and want to level up your filmmaking career to work on bigger productions and bigger sets, this is the video for you! Here are 9 RULES you SHOULD know on a REAL Commercial Film Set - BTS ft. Director Scott Peters
Huge thanks to @ScottPetersFilms for working with us on this project and giving us these hard hitting lessons! Go check out his perspective of this production: youtu.be/hLZf9Y-ZFNo?si=jDIFFmiUQNXI7HGa
Ever wondered what it’s like to work on a bigger commercial film set? We take you behind the scenes and give you all the production rules and unspoken lessons so you can learn from our mistakes. We got the chance to hire professional director/DP Scott Peters for a $40,000 budget commercial project. Over the two shooting days, we learned so much from Scott's 13 year experience in the industry. He gave us the hard-hitting lessons for working on bigger productions, collaborating with larger crews, and levelling up your career as a filmmaker. A huge takeaway is the power of mentorship and collaboration with other videographers who can give you career advice, learnings and help with your professional development in the filmmaking industry.
In this behind-the-scenes look, we break down 9 crucial lessons we learned on set, covering everything from cinematography tips, directing techniques, and set etiquette - to how to manage your boundaries pre & post production.
