A proposito di questo titolo
What does it really take to make it as a freelance cinematographer in today's market?
In this episode, we sit down with Director of Photography Cody Preston, whose journey from childhood stop-motion films to shooting major commercials proves there's no single path to success. We talk about his early start as an extra in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, running a clothing business in his twenties, and the decision to focus on freelance cinematography over creating his own production company.
We also dive into the behind-the-scenes of his recent documentary work with Destination BC, featuring adaptive sports across British Columbia, and a technically demanding Terra Footwear commercial that pushed creative boundaries. Plus his approach to networking authentically with directors and why craft-first thinking builds sustainable careers.
Plus: Grandma Baba's mysterious career connections, crash cams, and why focusing on the work attracts the right collaborators.
