The "Fake Filmmaking" Podcast
245 episodes - English - Latest episode: 11 months ago -I call this Fake Filmmaking because I started as a photographer and most say "Photographers Aren't Filmmakers!" I also call it FAKE because I do things a bit differently. For LIGHTS, I use "T-Lighting" (not 3-point lighting). For CAMERAS I "Always Shoot With (At Least) 2 Cameras" (with a "dual camera cage"). For SETTINGS I don't shoot in LOG but use my custom "lens-sensor settings" & shoot "SOOC". For AUDIO I only use budget mics and audio recorders and set my settings using my Proximity System.
