Listen, first off - a black woman in production (you), with a 90% black crew shooting a commercial of a WNBA/NCAA legend + black woman , this is the content we want and need. Very priceless content, thank you for sharing!
I love this!, there should be more of this seen, black female DP, Black Female Director, Black crew, and all beyond capable of producing excellent work, first time coming across this and I am In love with what I am seeing! this kind of content needs to be more out there.
This is a MasterClass in a class of it's own. Right from conception, the lighting diagrams, to the BTS and final product. Congratulations to you Brittney and your whole team, considered you had only 2 hours with the legend Staley. Then final product is for the empowerment of Black Women the world ever. You being a black lady calling the shots on this project and hiring and executing what you had in mind it's the same final product you had visualized, this is truly fantastic. I love the tutorial, the camaraderie and teamwork on set. Thanks for sharing your creativity. I really appreciate it.
My wife is black and a video editor, and has been finding it hard to find gigs for the very reason that it is primarily run by white companies who unfortunately won't give her a chance. Seeing someone like yourself and other crews of color, is just inspirational. She has now begun doing her own thing, but I'm definitely showing this channel to her, because this is just great!! Can't wait to see more!
I Sympathize with your wife, I have been finding it hard to break into those white companies and spaces as videographers and photographers. It’s came to the point where I would by my own to ticket and shoot.
The sheer melanin of this crew is the most refreshing thing I've seen on RUclips in MONTHS. I absolutely LOVE seeing my people both in front of and behind the camera! Having typed all that warranted praise for the almost all Black EVERYTHING cast and crew, I love seeing breakdowns and BTS like this! It's truly inspiring!
YES! I am here for all of this. A sister of color and a production crew of color, working and out there in the world, we need more of this. As a writer/ director of color myself, I would love to have this with my crew. Good luck with your future endeavors.
I absolutely loved this. The only reason why I use the world LOVE is because I can't think of a word with a higher magnitude. You and the entire crew were professional, personal, and purposeful. Salute to you all.
This was great! Thanks Brittney for taking the time and the effort to show the behind the scenes of what it took to create this great PSA! Looks like you have put together a great team!
I truly appreciate the amount of melanin in this bts video. AND, I love the expertise each person was able to show off. Everything came together nicely. Thanks for sharing this.
Brittney, it's wonderful to see professionals at work and sharing the process. Appreciate the in-depth explanation of the Arri Mini LF with the signature primes, teradeck, shot list, set diagram, etc., etc. Folks need to know that you don't just show up with an iPhone or budget DSLR and start shooting. As a longtime screenwriter and film editor, it was extremely informative for a someone that hasn't been on set for nearly a decade. Looking for to checking out the rest of your content.
Thank you so much for sharing, I really needed to see this today. I've honestly been so discouraged lately with production work and frustrated to the point I started thinking about just selling all my equipment. I used to loved being on set directing, editing commercials, and animation/vfx. After COVID and lock downs I've doing only post production and animation. Seeing you all on set made me smile remembering how much fun it was. Maybe I'll hold on to my equipment just a little bit longer. 😉
Excellent video! Absolutely loved the breakdown of the lighting. It was great seeing so many different people in their element and IN THEIR BAG! Well done! 🔥 Uplift Black Women! ✨
Amazing content. I like how she explained the DP position of communicating with the crew on how they want the scene shot.Please upload more of this crews work. ❤❤
This BTS is absolutely fantastic. So insightful, with tons of genuinely useful information. I've been at this for 24 years and I still love seeing how you design shots and how your team collaborates. Liked and subscribed today. Please keep this coming.
I absolutely love this! Beautiful message and your composition is always on point! Your crew is a beast and you are! I would love to hear more about using long format cameras on these major sets and your process with that and how you began using them. They are intimating to me lol and I just love how confident you are to do all things!
you kicked ass with this video. It's a good its video and the whole crew gave simplified explanations of what they were working on. I wish I saw this video 7 years ago!! I also see I clicked on the video for the same reason as the rest of the commenters. We are all happy to see you working and doing good. Keep going
Just watched like 15 of your vids. I am a 25 year old Black man trying to break into film. I've been getting a lot of PA/ Gaffing gigs but I would love to be a DP. Learning a lot through you. Thank you
as someone who's in film school right now it's very interesting seeing what i'm being taught being reinforced in real time.. As a cinematography specialist maneuvering through the different positions on the camera team i'm trying to find where i fit in and if i want to stay on the camera or more on the directive side, i needed to see this video. so thank you.
Thank you for bringing us in on this. When I first started shooting I would say "I wish I could get on a set and just see what's going on", lol now I get to see A team of people that look like me make some amazing work all from the crib!
I love to see my black women flourishing in the creative space. I'm an actor and want to get more cinematography jobs for when Im not on the other side of the camera lol. I never see any women cinematographers when im acting and here you are!!! Your motivating just to let you know
Thank you for sharing these videos, One thing about such videos is there are always different approaches people use to solve certain challenges, I mean I didn't know that know that coffee cups block the light from flashing on the walls. Thank you Janae.
First of all, black women all day everyday! ✊🏽 I absolutely love BTS content, because it sheds light on just how much goes into production; people, gear, time, skills, blood, sweat and tears! Folk think that 30 second adds are shot in minutes, but they couldn't be further from the truth. I loved watching this and you best believe I'll stay watching your videos until the very end. 🙏🏽
When I seen this was a sister and with a predominantly black film crew, I subscribed with quick as possible. I been looking for something like this.. Thanks for sharing
Awesome content-you can tell just the filming of this was a total vibe. It still amazes me the amount of preproduction and shooting materials needed to create something special. Good work.
This is mad dope! I always love seeing BTS and seeing mostly an a black crew on set is too dope. I love the execution of the final results. When I saw the gaffer and key grip rig up that rail for that elevated shot I was curious to see how it would turn out but it was reminiscent of classic Spike Lee Mars Blackmon “It’s The Shoes” campaigns. Dope work!

Great to hear from the gaffer on set. There’s not alot of content out that explores the relationship between DP and Gaffer, really good stuff.
Cant be a good DP without a good gaffer!
What a Team!
Awesome content-you can tell just the filming of this was a total vibe. It still amazes me the amount of preproduction and shooting materials needed to create something special. Good work.
Loved the end result. Love your explanations!
Best BTS I've seen in a long time🔥thank you for sharing this with us
Wow! Thank you so much!!
Instant subscribe. Keep going, Brittney!! You inspire me!!

More of this 🔥🔥🔥 that was dope. Great insight and bts
This made me so proud look at all those beautiful black faces !! Thanks for the motivation and for being awesome Brittney. Right on Sister !!.
Always fun seeing the grips building up tools in camera use. Well done to you and your team to the overall product at the end.
This is so dope! I never see this many black folks on set!
Aye this was fire! Loved getting the BTS then seeing the final product. Really put into perspective what all goes into making every second count.
This is such an extensive, informative BTS video.
I love it
Love the BTS. The 40mm is one of Roger Deakin's favorite focal lengths. So, you're in good company. :)
That’s such a cool thing to know! I really did love it and had been wanting to shoot on a 40mm for a while and it just fit for this project!
Awesome, very informative. I learned a lot! Thanks!
Fantastic BTS! Love to see more of these.
Love it! Keep it coming Britt!!!
