Don't f**k up your first camera assistant job

Great!

nice video

Nice!

Brilliant video. Thank you for the tips!

Nice video! For anyone: Use a lanyard tag holder (one of those transparent plastic thinggys) for the cutout of actors' names. Extra level of neat for ACs with OCD :P

Great helpful video, so quick qn here, where do you learn all this? detail? do you have to have gone to film school or are there situations where learning on the job is welcome?

This video is amazing! Thank you!

How is this the only video 🥺

Great tips - thanks for putting this together! As a DP I joke that I shoot everything auto - “Hey, AC....” 😂

To paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke;

“Any sufficiently prepared AC is indistinguishable from magic”

Thank u! Greetings from Mexico :3

Would love to see more from this channel!

pretty good tips. thank you!

Fantastic bits of knowledge!

Is anyone familiar with the Camera train program with IASTE?

Outstanding video and blog!

Great info. Thanks! SUBSCRIBED.

One of the best clips on the topic.

This is really awesome

please make more!!!

So useful - doing my first short film as a second ac and absolutely terrified of messing something up, so this gave me a lot more confidence

You’re awesome!!! Thx 4 this! 🙌🏻
Subbed!

This is really useful, thanks!

The best video I found super awesome

How do you even start off a camera assistance , transitioning from solo videography 😭

Thank you for these videos! I scored a really big union 2nd AC gig after being a utility for some time and this helped immensely.

Title: ….
Me: too late

Carry on ☺️

Wow, these were fantastic - I work as an AC generally and I hadn't heard of printing out actors names and characters before - really good tip!

great video

Rad video thank you!

You had me at : getting there an hour early. I have been doing that for the past 30 years and most of the new generation dose not understand this. Love your video and hope to run in to you some day on set. 👍👍👍👍

why there is not two different operator in camera team, one touch the camera and second who only focus focus puller work. Because if you 1 camera assist do both work it takes time to training in focus puller work.

How did you learn how to set up a camera did you go to school for it specifically?

Solid advice all-round.
