White Balance Guide
Read the colour of light. Lock manual white balance, match cameras across a multicam shoot, and stop fixing colour drift in post.

One-page references for exposure, motion, light and lens. The same sheets I keep open on set. $10 each, or take the whole library for $59.

From 16mm to 135mm. Compression, distortion, working distance, and what each focal length does to a portrait. Choose the right lens for the right story.
A PAL workflow guide to frame rates. 25, 50, 100, 200fps. When to reach for each, what light you need, and how slow motion really works in the edit.
Why every serious operator carries a variable ND and a circular polariser. Stop reflections, hold shutter, and protect the cinematic look in any light.
A complete pro workflow for the Sony FX3. S-Log3, Cine EI, 4:2:2 10-bit, native ISO 800, 24fps. Nine settings that turn a small camera into a cinema rig.
How ISO shapes noise, dynamic range and your final image. Native ISO, dual gain, and when to push the sensor versus when to add light instead.

The 180 degree rule, why it matters, and when to break it. How shutter angle defines motion blur and gives footage that unmistakable film quality.
Natural light, artificial light, and how to shape both. Key, fill, backlight, and the logic behind building a clean exposure on set.
Tripod, gimbal, handheld, slider. The right tool for the right shot, and how to keep motion intentional instead of accidental.
