One of the mistakes I made early on was “not” talking to the lighting guys.
Especially in broadcast productions, I always thought I wasn't responsible for lighting.
However the Steadicam changed my perspective on light completely. The steadicam often allows us to see things differently- and provide unique camera angles when a camera moves on stage or around it. Light takes on multiple characters.
It's often little things that have a big impact on the picture.
For example moving a moving head slightly towards the camera lens, can provide some stunning camera flairs on empty spots in the frame.
Or textures on the wall or in the crowd. Which can improve the picture.
