I am deeply grateful for the internship opportunity given to me by Idris Elba
@idriselba and
@moabudu on the remarkable Dust To Dreams project with the camera department, and I cannot thank
@tdafriquefilms @tonytagoe @daniel_damah @andymadjitey and
@danielattoh_ enough for referring me and opening this door. It was such an honour to be selected from Ghana to be part of this remarkable project with
@danielattoh_ and the other interns
@phebeanswill , Bammyboy,
@oreobadofin and Tomi. A standout aspect of this experience was the opportunity to shadow DP
@tristan_chenais_dop on set. Observing his expert approach to scene crafting was a masterclass in cinematography. Tristan didn't just light scenes; he painted with light, using it as a tool to evoke emotions and deepen the storytelling. His intentional use of motivational lighting techniques infused each scene with depth and meaning, enriching my understanding of the art of cinematography in profound ways.
Equally enriching was working with the skilled camera team, Hermis and
@henryyoungofficial ,the 1st ACs, were masters of focus pulling, showing precision and an acute eye for detail that kept every frame sharp under changing conditions.
@imalewska and
@anniie_diya , the 2nd ACs, handled clapper loading with efficiency and expertise, ensuring smooth operations and continuity between shots.
The professionalism, collaboration, effective communication, and discipline demonstrated by the camera team were truly inspiring. Their ability to work together harmoniously and adapt to various challenges on set was a testament to their dedication and passion for their craft.
I must also extend my heartfelt thanks to
@inemking , one of the producers, who warmly welcomed us and consistently ensured that all the interns were well taken care of. The knowledge and skills imparted by each member of this team have been transformative. Their willingness to teach have equipped me with technical and practical skills I will carry forward into all my future projects. Thank you to every single person who made this experience possible. I am excited to see where these new skills will take me in the film industry.
