Shooting A No-Crew / No Permit Feature On Blackmagic With Filmmaker Dave Hill

In this episode, I’m joined by director and photographer Dave Hill to discuss the making of his second feature film — a visually dynamic, deeply personal story shot with virtually no crew in the Arizona desert. All on the Blackmagic Pocket 4K.Throughout the interview we dive deep into Dave’s tactics and workflow, and explore how they empowered him to fully own the visual language of his film. Topics covered include:Why Dave ditched the traditional crew structure and shot entirely handheldHow the Blackmagic Pocket 4K + Micro Four Thirds sensor unlocked his styleThe pros and cons of running sound without a sound personLeveraging camera choice and post-production to mimic the 16mm film aestheticRecasting day players, last-minute locations, and other stories from setWhy low-budget filmmaking is actually a gift when paired with the right creative visionMuch more!Links from the show:Dave Hill – InstagramDave Hill – WebsiteSign up for my newsletter for exclusive filmmaking insight each Sunday.
