Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#055 - BJ McDonnell // Steadicam Operator
Q: What were the biggest changes in Steadicam technology you've seen?
He highlights the move from heavy, bulky CRT monitors to compact HD monitors, the evolution of gimbals and volt systems, and the ability to balance rigs more quickly, while stressing the importance of knowing old-school balance techniques in case electronics fail.
#055 - BJ McDonnell // Steadicam Operator
Q: How did you get into Steadicam and what drew you to that path?
BJ describes starting in the grip department, discovering Steadicam after seeing the rig, taking a course, and then building his own rig piece by piece while working with DPs who trusted him on smaller projects, which helped him move up to operator roles.
#053 - Davy Gomez // Editor
Q: What advice do you have for someone building a reel that stands out?
Make it feel like you, keep it short (around 70 seconds), foreground your editing instincts, and include a link to full pieces so decision-makers can see the breadth of your capability, not just a few shots.
#053 - Davy Gomez // Editor
Q: What is the difference between online and offline editing?
Offline is the low-resolution, flexible stage where editors assemble the story; online involves conforming to high-res footage, coordinating with color, VFX, and audio, and ensuring the final cut matches the reference exactly.
#053 - Davy Gomez // Editor
Q: How did you get started in this industry?
After film school and a stint in Miami, I moved to New York, started in camera and assistant roles, and gradually moved into editing after taking on an opportunity to cut a project with a cracked Premiere setup. That scramble led to more editing work, then online editing at Vice and Complex before transitioning to long-form TV editing on The Bear.
