The Wandering DP Podcast: Episode #500

Cinematography Podcast & Tutorials

We did it!!!

500 episodes of the podcast.

It might not be a big deal to many of you but for me this is a huge milestone. I never thought I would do 10 episodes. It is wild to think about but this is a project that is bigger than almost anything else I have been a part of in my career.

So many hours of conversations with fantastic DPs from all over the world working on all sorts of projects.

It has been a lot of fun over the years and we have had some great guests on along the way. So many cinematographers came on and shared their tips and secrets. I tried to steal as much as I could and I hope you did as well.

Hearing from listeners all around the world over the years on the value they have found in the episodes has been a real treat and I am glad the show managed to find such an appreciative audience.

A special thanks to all of the Patreon supporters who have made it possible to work on this week in and week out for over a decade.

Everything that I wanted to accomplish in filmmaking when I started this show I somehow managed to achieve in and a large piece that made it all possible was the knowledge picked up in these conversations. If I can have a career there is no doubt you listening can also make it happen.

Enjoy!

Course Link - Advanced Cinematography: On Set Training

The enrolment window will remain open for the next 7 days only.

This course will not open again for another 12 months.

The Advanced Cinematography Courses are not meant as introductory classes. This course is designed for someone who as the name suggests is not a beginner.

If you want to be come a professional cinematographer and are already doing paid client work and you want to know what a commercial DP does on a job from start to finish than this course is for you.

It is a comprehensive look at everything a commercial cinematographer has to do throughout a typical production cycle.

We start at the pre-production meetings where I walk through what I look for, signs that things are going well or not, I lay out what I like to have done at what time in the process to make sure I am on top of everything from storyboards to finding crew, and then finally we make our way on to the virtual set to light and shoot the entire ad.

I am super proud of the content in this course and there is not another resource like this available. It is more valuable then sitting next to me on an actual job and observing all the steps and tasks because I can actually take my time and explain every little decision.

Once you understand why the decisions are being made then you can start to shape your own approach.

If you are making the jump to larger sets or larger projects and you want to know what is expected and at the same time learn the prescription for being able to effectively wield the tool of the Framework then this course is not to be missed.
