Go Set Ready Live by Charmcine – Camera Prep

If you are interested in becoming a 1st or 2nd AC, then the new ‘Go Set Ready Live’ series by Charmcine will provide you with a lot of insight into what goes on behind the scenes.

In the first episode, IATSE 600 Camera Assistant Aidan Gray leads an interactive live training session on camera prep.

These are just some of the points & questions covered in the session:

• What’s involved with camera prep
• Does the DP attend camera prep
• How to plan out camera builds
• Setting sensor back focus
• What to look for during lens testing
• Mapping a lens

Even if you are an owner-operator and don’t prep at a rental house, there are some useful tips to take to be prepared for shoot day.

Charmcine has made the video available to download from the Vimeo page.
