Filmmaker Chats || Sydney Director/DOP Adrian Emerton (Red Komodo/Canon C70 Owner)

'Filmmaker Chats' - a new format Im going to be doing - my version of a podcast of sorts. In these Im going to be sitting down with talented friends from the film industry, and chatting through their journeys, gear, and general two cents worth on what it's like being a full time freelancer in the film production industry.

First off the rank - my good mate Adrian Emerton. Adrians a DOP and Director based in Sydney Australia. Adrians shot a bunch of Commercial, Branded, and Doco style films for a bunch of big clients like Google, Microsoft, Fox Sports, McDonalds, TikTok - the list goes on and on. I've been lucky enough to of been on a lot of these shoots as B-Cam operator, and as we chat about in this - getting to work with your mates - or people who end up becoming your mates - is definitely a perk of our industry. Hope you enjoy the chat!
