Using a Crane: A lighting Lesson

I have been working on a pilot pitch reel for a company here in Los Angeles. It's about a man who has a near death experience and ends up in a morgue. I used a Kessler crane with an ikan monitor to get some of the more dramatic shots of the piece. There was a very deliberate reason that we used the crane. We did not use it because we had it or it seems cool (Which it is by the way). Cool or not it's not a good enough reason to use one. We used it because in an interesting way we were able to redirect the viewer to the things that we thought were the most important in the shot. We used it to create dramatic effect and show how lost in a large world our man was. We used it to create surprise. When used correctly cranes are a very powerful tool. Cranes use to be too expensive for most people but that is no longer the case. They are reasonable to rent and not too expensive to buy. In this video you will gain a few tips on how to use a crane. Keep the cameras rolling! Jay P. Morgan

i love they way you focus hehehe!You got an employ called "The Focuser"!
-
@Bobesque Autofocus isn't that slow. If you end up aiming the focus at some point where it can't focus then of course there is problems. Doesn't the rig allow the user to manual focus?
-
@PsykoOps auto focus takes time. and usually it goes in and then out to find the perfect focus.
-
i really like the first clip! good job.
-
why nothing is destroyed at the end of the video?
-
Cranes did not start with Touch of Evil. (though that is a great example) Look at some of the great horror b-movies of the 1930s from Universal. Very effective, understated use of jibs.

More of these! Also isn't there a system to use the focus of the camera by yourself? Having an assistant do it seems bit clumbsy.

@PsykoOps There are great systems for pulling focus and we will be talking about them in the future. Stay tuned!
