Being a freelance filmmaker/press cameraman I'd say this is the best channel I've seen so far. Been digging through Set Lightnings Tech's handbook by H.C.Box but its great to see what equipment does before you invest and get a "practical" idea then just reading text, especially if you don't have ALL the equipment. Great. Hope you keep going. Best wishes from the other side of the pond! :)
So helpful! I was on set a couple of days ago and the DP asked me to put in two singles and I thought that meant two one stops, so I pretty much put in a homerun
+Dan Allen ive done that, i can only pull out one at a time tho. but i always have my leatherman or husky cause one of them are usually attached to me haha. love the support Dan. Thanks!
What I was hoping to find out is, when changing out scrims during a shoot, where can you safely put the scrim where it won't catch something on fire from the heat coming off it?
On the cement is probably your number 1 option. For HMI’s in the winter time? Leave them in the barndoors, it will help slowly cool the glass on the lenses to avoid shattering them from a cold shock they get when being immediately cooled
Dave: "What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear single and double?"
Me: "DRINKING!"
Dave: "Baseball..."
....damn... good point
I like you

Nice video.
Instead of pliers, if you have a c-47/74 handy, you can use that to pull scrims out easily.

These are great! Keep 'em coming.
Nice start to a channel!
Love it!! Thank you.
Sweet good to know
Good info and to the point! Thanks
What is "base ball"? I was thinking espresso. What would two doubles give you? One jittery grip, is what!
Great information.
Duane Char thanks man
I think the baseball analogy was lost on a lot of us. But thanks for making this video--Not a lot of information out there on this topic.
i just have one thing to say. BOOSH!.
BOOSH!

you look like ryan gosling
I hear it all the time and I will show my “abs” to prove that I am not
Who would be responsible for the scrims? The gaffer or Key Grip!?
Gaffer. The scrims are part of the lighting package.
Whose on first?
Bro, you're making me question why I went to filmschool.
are you the scrim reaper?
You should give away a arri light ;) hahah
Mitchell Van Empelen he did. I won it
Just be careful with the terminology, a "homerun" can also be an uninterrupted length of cable.
