False color is one of the most commonly used exposure tools on set nowadays. The power behind it is the fact that you can visualize how bright and how dark certain parts of your image are. It uses an IRE scale to measure the light. Nowadays you’ll find this feature in almost every filmmaking monitor. What’s your favorite exposure tool?

New Course Drop ➡️ Shadowing a Commercial Director: Part 2 🎬🔥 Commercial Directing Mentor Jordan Brady is back with a new course all about his successful “Behind the Beard” Toyota spot with Pat Finn and Kristen O’Meara. This is a sneak peak into how Jordan approaches analyzing the script from both a creative and logistical perspective. Here is what Jordan does when prepping for a spot: 1. Analyze - understanding the characters and their motivations, the tone and the theme. 2. Visual Approach - formulate a visual attack to ensure you don’t have each setup look similar and how to best visually tell the story in 20 second. 3. Doodle - he prints the script and doodles on it to figure out the best way to concisely tell this story. 4. Call Your Producer - after you have a plan/clear idea of how you’d like to tell the story, call your producer to help logistically plan how to make your ideas come to life 5. Call Any Additional Crew Members - for this spot, they needed numerous fake beards so they contacted hair & makeup to find the best beard specialist. 6. Build Your Team - find that producing partner that ensures you have a seamless experience so when you go on set you are just focused on directing the talent, motivating the crew and collaborating with the agency. Become a member to watch the course, learn from exclusive behind the scenes on set content and take your commercial directing skills to the next level today. #commercialdirector #commercial #filmmaking #filmmaker #filmmakers #filmmakersacademy #FilmCommunity #FilmSchool #filmeducation #onset #behindthescenes #director #directing #toyotacommercial #prepro #preproduction #producer #lineproducer #executiveproducer

In front of the camera for a change 😆 Had the privilege of spending a day with the my favorite @filmmakers_academy crew at their office, shooting some Ad content with them! I’ve been a member of @filmmakers_academy for a solid 7-8 years now. And this platform that @ShaneHurlbutASC and @LydiaHurlbut have created is one of the reasons why I am where I am today. Because when I first got into the professional world, there was barely any educational content online on how to actually do things on a professional level. Meanwhile @filmmakers_academy had tutorials using proper equipment and crew, which was exactly what I needed in order to survive in the industry. And not only survive, but go from being an Electrician to a full time DP! So now after my whole journey, I got to sit down with the crew that made all this incredible educational content over the years, and share my story of how it helped me in front of a camera. This group of people and the whole community of members have been so supportive since Day 1 of my journey and I couldn’t be more grateful for them! Thank you again to @kyragracee , @brenpancake & @stevenanapolitano for an awesome shoot day and for having patience with me hahaha. As much as I’m used to giving interviews in front of cameras and such, having to talk directly into the lens still trips me out 😅 But we managed to get some awesome stuff, so you should be seeing my face pop up around social media as Ads for the platform! 📷: @alec_paul

5 Ways to Plot Your Story 📝💡This is for the writers in the group! You’ve got a great story idea, you know your major characters, and you have an idea of how it begins or ends. Now you need to figure out what happens in between, which can be daunting. Shore Scripts has created a 17 page free “5 Ways to Plot Your Story” PDF that is available for download on their website and dives into the different tactics for plotting a story.  1. Three-Act Structure: A familiar method dividing the story into Beginning, Middle, and End, adaptable for films, TV pilots, and more. 2. Bedtime Story: From Pilar Alessandra’s The Coffee Break Screenwriter. It’s quick, fun, and helps spark creativity without much detail. 3. Beat Sheet: Helps outline key moments to ensure an engaging story, creating a rollercoaster of emotions for your audience. 4. 8-Sequence Approach: Breaks down the story into 8 manageable parts, splitting the traditional 3 acts into smaller sequences. 5. Hero’s Journey: From Joseph Campbell’s book, this method focuses on classical story patterns but may not suit every story type. Have you used these methods? Download the free PDF and a handful of other free resources for writers by visiting /free-screenwriting-resources-to-learn-how-to-be-a-screenwriter Shots by @shotdeck 🎥 #filmmaker #filmmakers #filmmaking #filmmakersacademy #shorescripts #screenwriter #screenwriting #writing #plot #3actstructure #herojourney #FilmSchool #filmeducation #learnfilmmaking #writingtip #writingtips

Communication is everything on set—it’s the key to speed, efficiency, and clarity. Recently, Shane Hurlbut, ASC, a team of FA members and frequent collaborators worked on a music video for the Grace Fisher Foundation. Using the Hollyland Solidcom C1 Pro, they created a seamless and efficient set environment. Despite a tight schedule and various location changes, they were able to capture everything they needed. These headsets are comfortable, reliable, and robust—a true game changer! 🎧 📸: @jeremypavia #cinematographer  #cinematography  #filmmaking   #filmmakers  #filmequipment  #dpcart  #film  #inovativ  #filmtools  #filmmakingtools  #filmtips  #filmmakingtips  #dop  #dplife  #dp  #flandersscientific  #hollyland   #cinematographers  #filmeducation  #filmschool  #filmmakersworld  #filmmakersacademy  #onset  #directorofphotography  #comtek  #walkietalkie  #onsetcommunication  #communicationsystem  #communicationsystems  #hollylandtech
