I've become interested and work in the area when I can. My skills are in Costume/Wardrobe but some items are useful to know about and carry my own kit bag that includes obscure items, you never know when you will be needed.👍
I was told by a friend who was a script supervisor went a bought a small portable table that folds up to a Sholder bag and was great when did have a table for them. I also think this would be gret to set up battery world for charging and quick store. Just a thought.
Just to clarify…this is personal stuff you’re expected to lug around? Tape, air, useful tools, and other misc whatnots I get. But slates, filters, and covers for eye pieces, BNC accessories, etc? And how do you keep track of all the stuff YOU kick in to help the production run smooth?
A slate is good to have when you do jobs that are MOS (no sound) but still need to keep track of scenes and takes. Otherwise sound will usually bring a slate if they are good. You don't need your own filters but having extra BNC and things like that can be a huge life saver if one goes bad on camera. I put a tape label on my personal stuff so it doesn't get packed up with the camera during wrap.
Heyy, I’m an AC, I tape label everything I own. Most of the time slates, filters, and covers are provided or rented. If you don’t want to lug it around get a belt or chest harness.
Mag tags are numbered tags we make with paper take to keep track of the shot media. Check out this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RhL1OV1wX5Q.html
It happens lol. Not all the time, but there are moments when you need to be extremely mobile and the DP wants to bring another lens. You just have to be very careful.
@@FilmmakerSurvival I fully understand. When times of the essence you gotta do what you gotta do. Although saying that, there are other options: see link to example product: shorturl.at/flpsA
What size bag is this? I have the Arri Small Unitbag, but with Kim tech wipes and canned air it is already mostly filled😅 Thinking of buying a “large” as well😁
@@FilmmakerSurvival Thanks for the quick reply. Is that the small bag that you have in the video? Also I don't think Panavision is taking any orders unfortunately.
I personally like the fikenca onset bag. Is smaller than this PANY bag but it the perfect size for a set bag. Those bigger panavision bags or Arri Bags are used more as a camera cart bag. On set, my bag mainly has two onboard batteries, filters, a canned air, lens cleaner, some tools like Allen French’s, any hard mattes, topper, DIY mustaches, spare pen/dry erase marker, eye chamois, backup media cards, back up battery for whatever wireless focus my 1st is using, camera reports, time code jam box, and a slate. Everything else like onboard monitors, backup cables, weather protection, handheld options, zoom options, I keep on the camera cart in a bag like that. Though I have recently switched to riding the pelican 1650 on the cart and I love it.
