EPISODE 61: FROM VIDEOGRAPHER TO CINEMATOGRAPHER

Are you wondering what it takes to go from Videographer to Cinematographer? What are some of the best ways to stop taking the $500 projects that also require you to edit them and transition into being a working cinematographer/DP? Good news for you is that there is hope! It's a long journey, shorter for others, but today I wanted to give you the tips that helped me out as well as countless other cinematographers. The short of it is:

#1. Spec Work, Spec Work, Spec Work

#2. Update your reel each year with the highlights from your spec work

Eventually when you've built up a good reel and gradually been hired for projects that create that pool of networking resources you need, you'll start to get hired more and more as a cinematographer and that will provide you the financial stability to say "NO" to the one man band, no budget videographer projects you've been dreaming to move away from.
