Let's Talk Camera Rigs!

Alright, I figured this would be a good way to start the blog given my introduction post-a little one-on-one about camera rigs. What you will notice about my approach is that I prepare for low-budget production, this does not mean the information is limited to such (you will never be on a production where there is no room for money-saving innovation). What this means is a DIY attitude, YOU CAN MAKE MOST EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE COST AN ARM AND A LEG AND in some cases THE BLOOD OF YOUR FIRST-BORN CHILD.
So, things like camera rigs should come into the process during the storyboarding in the pre-production stage. Sometimes it can come into play during the technical script writing if the writer has a specific shot or shots in mind.

POST - 1

Welcome to the first post in my blog dubbed 'The Filmmaker.'

My name is David; I am a filmmaker in my own right and ever-observant student of all motion media.  In this blog I plan to address many aspects of filmmaking from live-action to animation in all aspects of production. Along these lines I hope to share resources, opinions, and general updates on my work. The posts may be as abrupt as a sketch or as lengthy as a theoretical discussion.

 Sit back and enjoy.
