I'll been following Alexander on Instagram for a while now and it's always been a treat seeing him working on random projects both in film and his personal life. One day he'll be rebuilding a gas powered big wheel, the next he'll be on location in the middle of nowhere working as a grip. Part time man of mystery, part time mad scientist, Alexander is an interesting guy, no doubt. Oh, and he shoots film and has worked with motion picture. Rad!

Be sure to give Alexander a follow on Instagram.

Cinematographer Ryan Galvan talks about his shooting style and the Ghost that messed with his camera and much more...

It’s easy to explain our tendency to adore actors. They are right in front of us on the screen, we associate ourselves with their characters, and we experience their emotions alongside them. Sometimes, we allow directors into the spotlight and into our hearts. But to do that they have to either film a collection of phenomenal pictures, or else introduce something completely new to cinema. But is film really only made up of those in front of the camera and those who yell “action”? No, it is much more like a machine, which only moves thanks to hundreds of little mechanisms. This is “The Hidden Heroes”, a series in which I will finally shed light on the people who create these masterpieces.

Learning to be a leader and a well-rounded filmmaker are certainly two things that will help you stand out as an editor.

A big part of being an editor is having good leadership skills in order to motivate and enable others to contribute towards the success of a production. Also being more knowledgeable of other subjects like cinematography, screenwriting, directing, music composition, or sound design can help you communicate more effectively with other creatives and lead to a long-lasting, successful career. As Roger Nygard, ACE said in a previous episode of the podcast - "Don't be an editor who cuts films, be a filmmaker who edits."

My guest on episode 29 is director of photography Shane Hurlbut, ASC (THE RIM OF THE WORLD, TERMINATOR: SALVATION, WE ARE MARSHALL, NEED FOR SPEED) and he  shares advice on how you can become a better leader and also talks about his role as an educator through various online platforms including the Filmmakers Academy which he started last year.

I’m also excited to share that I have joined the Filmmakers Academy as their editing mentor, and it’s been great working with their team and the other mentors, and creating courses about the craft of editing so make sure to check it out today!

Some of the topics Shane and I will be discussing on the show today include the importance of developing resilience to thrive in this industry, the future of cinematography, overcoming challenges when trying to break into feature films, how to shine a spotlight on yourself and stand out from others, choosing the right projects to work on, the importance of having a significant other that supports your career goals, and we’ll hear all about the Filmmakers Academy!

Peter Zuccarini started dreaming of becoming an underwater cameraman early. Starting his life in Key Biscayne, Florida, he pursued his dream with a passion that clearly went beyond a way to make a living. Ultimately he did reach the peaks in a career that has taken him across the globe. His work as an underwater cameraman and director of photography includes movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, Life of Pi, The Cove, Avatar...to name a few. In this conversation with Media for Change founder Sanjeev Chatterjee, Zuccarini reflects on the climb of a child innocently gathering creatures on a Florida beach to the heights of Hollywood. He also has some basic advice for other dream chasers.
