Kraig Bryant 1st AC / Writer / Director

It was absolutely insane getting to film Jonathan Davis from Korn. Growing up this was honestly one of my favorite bands so to see and work with him in person was mind blowing. This shoot was a lot of work camera department wise. We carried the entire camera package down 2 flights of stairs and then up four and then back down 2 flights because the place didn’t have an elevator. Still it was an incredible experience and another chance to work with an awesome team as 1st AC… Director: @jensennoen Producer: @phoenixvaughn @rndevereaux @ashhainzer DP: @justinjonesdp Gaffer: @ocufilms ——————————————————————————————- • • • • #filmcrew #filmmaking #setlife #filmmaker #film #cinematography #behindthescenes #filmproduction #cinematographer #onset #filmset #filmmakers #directorofphotography #director #filming #filmmakerslife #bts #cameraoperator #filmdirector #cinema #dop #filmlife #filmmakersworld #movie #videoproduction #filmmakinglife #cameracrew #shortfilm #production #photography

Old post alert: It’s funny how late I am on posting some of these videos that I worked on that have been out for a while. Anyway here’s another one. This one was really cool because the shots were always very dynamic and kept us on or toes both as a crew and as viewers.

Such a cool experience to work on a Demi Lovato shoot. I’m really grateful for the projects I get to work on. The people I get to meet and the lessons I get to learn. Never stop learning. Stay curious and humble. It’s a long game. ———————————————————————————————• • • • • #demilovato #demi #lovatics #selenagomez #arianagrande #ddlovato #lovatic #lovato #demetria #justinbieber #love #kyliejenner #tellmeyouloveme #taylorswift #demilovatoedit #demetriadevonnelovato #camprock #iloveme #kendalljenner #kimkardashian #weloveyoudemi #rihanna #lovaticforever #katyperry #demetrialovato #staystrong #devonne #queen #lovaticsforever #lovaticfamily

Got to work with Meghan Trainor. A lot of running around to make sure batteries stayed full and lenses were swapped on time but that’s all par for the course. Overall it was a pretty fun day!

Your boy got to pull focus on this one. Always grateful to be busy working in this industry through all its ups and downs. Sometimes just hanging on and surviving is a miracle but then you look back and realize you get to work on all these big projects and not only just be there but as an integral of their production. That part is satisfying. Knowing you were right there in the action rolling the camera, keeping it in focus, and making sure everything runs smoothly. It’s a good feeling knowing you can be relied upon. ___________________________________________________ • • • • • #filmcrew #filmmaking #setlife #filmmaker #film #cinematography #behindthescenes #filmproduction #cinematographer #onset #filmset #filmmakers #directorofphotography #director #filming #filmmakerslife #bts #cameraoperator #filmdirector #cinema #dop #filmlife #filmmakersworld #movie #videoproduction #filmmakinglife #cameracrew #shortfilm #production #photography

Was flown out to Newark to film this in Pensilvania. The biggest challenge was making sure we had all the camera support there on location while still getting through airport security and minimizing the amount of cases. Other than that we had a sleep deprived jolly good time as always. ——————————————- Director: @jensennoen Producer: @phoenixvaughn @ashhainzer @rndevereaux 1st AD: @tiffanywaxler Gaffer: @ocufilms Steadicam operator: @filatovz 1st AC: @kraig.bryant Camera Utility: @mattsampere Shout out to the PA crew out there! ——————————————- #filmcrew #filmmaking #setlife #filmmaker #film #cinematography #behindthescenes #filmproduction #cinematographer #onset #filmset #filmmakers #directorofphotography #director #filming #filmmakerslife #bts #cameraoperator #filmdirector #cinema #dop #filmlife #filmmakersworld #movie #videoproduction #filmmakinglife #cameracrew #shortfilm #production #photography

Got to 1st AC on this. Simple Plan is a band I grew up hearing their songs on the radio. “Welcome to my Life”, “I’m just a Kid”, “I’d do Anything”, and “What’s New Scooby Doo”. Pulling focus on their music video was very nostalgic, gave me a chance to work with a really cool new team, and was an opportunity to support Ukraine during this wartime. ————————————— Director: @jensennoen Producers: @phoenixvaughn , @tanner_gordon , @ashhainzer , @rndevereaux Gaffer: @ocufilms 1st AC: @sambasaltun , @kraig.bryant ________________________ #filmcrew #filmmaking #setlife #filmmaker #film #cinematography #behindthescenes #filmproduction #cinematographer #onset #filmset #filmmakers #directorofphotography #director #filming #filmmakerslife #bts #cameraoperator #filmdirector #cinema #dop #filmlife #filmmakersworld #movie #videoproduction #filmmakinglife #cameracrew #shortfilm #production #photographylovers

It was my first time mounting an Arri LF on a Movi Gimbal which made camera control fun but luckily they rented a WCU hi-5 so I could control the camera wirelessly when the app wasn’t playing nice. Definitely some learning moments on this one but hey if I’m not learning I might as well stay home.. Thanks @justinjonesdp for bringing me on. —————————————- DP: @justinjonesdp Gaffer: @nyxboozi91 @ocufilms 1st AC: @thatguyaric @kraig.bryant 2nd AC: @nick_batanides ——————————————- #filmcrew #filmmaking #setlife #filmmaker #film #cinematography #behindthescenes #filmproduction #cinematographer #onset #filmset #filmmakers #directorofphotography #director #filming #filmmakerslife #bts #cameraoperator #filmdirector #cinema #dop #filmlife #filmmakersworld #movie #videoproduction #filmmakinglife #cameracrew #shortfilm #production #photography

This year I’ve broken through so many professional barriers and gotten to meet and work with some dope people on some badass projects. I haven’t been big on posting the projects I’ve AC’d on so I’m sort of playing catch up and will be posting a lot in the near future. I love getting to do what I do on set working closet with the cameras and keeping that focus sharp as a tack. These music videos are both for I prevail. “Self Destruction” and “There’s Fear in Letting Go” consecutively. —————————————— Director: @jensennoen DP: @justinjonesdp Producers: @ashhainzer , @phoenixvaughn @tanner_gordon Co-producer: @veronika.graves Prod.
