Camera, light and the plan
Before a shoot, Vitalii plans the room: where the cameras go, what light it needs and what can go wrong. At the Tower of London that meant a scouting visit the day before; at Cytec it meant moving the interviews to a better room, which saved the client £800.
On the day he works as director of photography or camera operator, and he has worked as a lighting technician and focus puller on larger crews, so he can talk to every department in its own terms.

- Camera operatorEvents, conferences and press moments, often with several cameras running at once.
- Lighting and focusExperience as a spark and a 1st AC on larger productions.
- Technical producerKit, crew and logistics for every We Stream shoot, with backups made before anyone leaves.
