I am thrilled to announce the first physical initiative (Tornto) aimed at raising awareness and helping those in need within the film industry. Starting on August 1st, 2024, I will be embarking on a challenge to run 1 mile every hour for 100 hours straight culminating in a grueling 100 miles completed. Why This Challenge? The film industry, like many others, has its fair share of professionals who find themselves in financial hardship. Whether it's due to unexpected life events, health issues, or the inconsistent nature of our work, the struggle is real and often unseen. Our goal is to shed light on these challenges and provide much-needed support. How Can You Help? 1. Spread the Word: Share this initiative with your friends, family, and colleagues. The more people know, the greater impact we can make. 2. Donate: Every dollar raised goes directly to supporting film industry professionals in need. No contribution is too small. 3. Join the Run: Whether you can run, walk, or cheer me on from the sidelines, your support is invaluable. Let's create a community of encouragement and solidarity. Stay Updated: Follow my journey on Instagram where I'll be sharing live updates, photos, and stories from the run. Together, we can make a difference, one mile at a time. Thank you for your unwavering support and for being a part of this incredible journey. Let’s show the world the power of our community and the strength of our unity. Onward and upward, Jordan Oram Website: https://100milesinmyshoes.framer.website/ Link to Donate: https://www.gofundme.com/f/run-a-mile-in-my-shoes-orams-100-mile-mission

I'm new guys Hope I'm welcome here guys

Hello everyone. Am mintesinot, a starting out cinematographer from Ethiopia. Very excited to join this creative and fun academy.

First and foremost, I don't want to be known as the person who is posting about jobs complaining about my experiences on set😁. Yet, I know that it is important that I share these experiences with you all so you can learn to be equipped with negotiation skills on any position in the camera dept. I was called by this DP that I just talked to her through whatsapp and at cinegear. I was highly recommended by another DP to her and we finally had the opportunity of working together. When I called the producer to negotiate my kit rental (Preston FIZ, Teradek Wireless system, Cinebolt 7 bolt, etc) We got into the conversation about the 2nd AC and he told me: We have no money. I answered by saying: How do you think I can run a dept with 3 cameras even though there is a B 1st AC; to build a Ronin 2 gimbal takes time and people with experience (He tries to push a green digital utility on me). Long story short, the 2nd ac was approved for the shoot day only. The car rig with the Ronin 2 went smoothly. At wrap, the producer gave me a ride to crew parking and admitted that I was right. There was no way I can do my job correctly w/o a key 2nd ac. Moral of the story: Fight for the personnel and tools that you need; if you don't get approve, write an email and cc the producer, UPM, DP of what the outcome will be if your wishes are not met.
