Cinematography : I work a lot on low budget/fun stuff because it's a break from the corporate work that pays the bills. This is how I make things happen with no time and no budget. by Jim Ross

Oh, and I love "Every Frame a Painting" 's expansion on Steven Speilberg's owners. SO GOOD!

@Jjm I love your grip truck, I could do with one always on hand. You are spot on that with a rushed time limit, the quick but effective shots add richer layers after a Master. EG “worms eye view” “pull in/out” “zolly” ETC. Time is luxury and on some low budget sets blocking and shot listing is a tiny window of opportunity.

Oh waw thank you for sharing, this was really cool to watch. When we shoot stuff it's always a low budget things and we do things in a very similar way because most of the time we only have the location and crew for a day.
My partner actually wrote a blog about our recent project a couple of weeks ago.

Like Leya Kokoravec said this was very interesting. Thank you.
Any time we shoot a narrative project we do extensive preproduction to optimize our time. I've actually created a spreadsheet that let's me calculate how much time we need to shoot something and it's pretty spot on.
