I've been wanting to get into vlogging my set days for a long time and finally got a chance to do it. We flew to South Carolina to film THEE Dawn Staley for a PSA commercial for Goldman Sachs. We had 2 hours to shoot with her and it was a super challenging shoot since SC isn't a big production city but we found the crew and made it work and I'm proud of us!
This video is a behind the scenes breakdown where you really get to see what goes on during set as well as my though process, how I communicate with my team as well as just the vibes. Stay till the end to see the final PSA.
Shoutout to ‪@thewallacemediacompany‬ for shooting such amazing BTS! Will def be finding ways to hire you in ATL.

My wife is black and a video editor, and has been finding it hard to find gigs for the very reason that it is primarily run by white companies who unfortunately won't give her a chance. Seeing someone like yourself and other crews of color, is just inspirational. She has now begun doing her own thing, but I'm definitely showing this channel to her, because this is just great!! Can't wait to see more!

This is a MasterClass in a class of it's own. Right from conception, the lighting diagrams, to the BTS and final product. Congratulations to you Brittney and your whole team, considered you had only 2 hours with the legend Staley. Then final product is for the empowerment of Black Women the world ever. You being a black lady calling the shots on this project and hiring and executing what you had in mind it's the same final product you had visualized, this is truly fantastic. I love the tutorial, the camaraderie and teamwork on set. Thanks for sharing your creativity. I really appreciate it.

Brittney, it's wonderful to see professionals at work and sharing the process. Appreciate the in-depth explanation of the Arri Mini LF with the signature primes, teradeck, shot list, set diagram, etc., etc. Folks need to know that you don't just show up with an iPhone or budget DSLR and start shooting. As a longtime screenwriter and film editor, it was extremely informative for a someone that hasn't been on set for nearly a decade. Looking for to checking out the rest of your content.

@johndorlean1133 7 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for sharing, I really needed to see this today. I've honestly been so discouraged lately with production work and frustrated to the point I started thinking about just selling all my equipment. I used to loved being on set directing, editing commercials, and animation/vfx. After COVID and lock downs I've doing only post production and animation. Seeing you all on set made me smile remembering how much fun it was. Maybe I'll hold on to my equipment just a little bit longer. 😉

This is mad dope! I always love seeing BTS and seeing mostly an a black crew on set is too dope. I love the execution of the final results. When I saw the gaffer and key grip rig up that rail for that elevated shot I was curious to see how it would turn out but it was reminiscent of classic Spike Lee Mars Blackmon “It’s The Shoes” campaigns. Dope work!

Folk think that 30 second adds are shot in minutes, but they couldn't be further from the truth. I loved watching this and you best believe I'll stay watching your videos until the very end. 🙏🏽
