What does the day look like?
Only 15% to 20% of your time is spent on creative shooting with cameras like the Sony FX3 or Canon EOS C70 and DJI RS 3 / RS 4 Pro gimbals. Around 30% to 35% involves logistics: hauling heavy gear cases, rigging lights, and setting up Sennheiser MKH 416 or Rode Wireless PRO microphones.
Another 35% to 40% goes into post-production in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve Studio, managing backups, color grading, and audio cleanup. Work hours are irregular, frequently running 10 to 14 hours starting before sunrise or stretching late into the night, alongside carrying 15 to 30 kg of equipment across shoot locations.
