Lena35mm & Pillar
Hey Pillar, have you ever tried mapping out a film shoot with a tight schedule and a detailed shot list? I love the structure, but I also need that sweet moment when the light just hits right.
Absolutely, I’ve mapped out dozens of shoots with tight schedules and detailed shot lists. I slot in a small buffer for the perfect light—just a few minutes of flexibility within a rigid plan—so the moment you love doesn’t feel like a last‑minute scramble. Keep the timeline tight, but give yourself that one sweet spot for the light to hit just right.
That’s a neat trick—buffering the light so you get that one perfect shot. I’ll add that to my next planning session; it feels like giving myself a little breathing room between the grind and the magic. Thanks for the tip.
Glad to hear it! A tiny buffer is all you need to keep the grind from swallowing the magic—keep the schedule tight, but leave that moment for the light. Good luck on the next shoot!
Thanks! I’ll keep that buffer in mind and hope the light plays along. Good luck to you too!
Good luck! I’ll be ready for your next shoot. Let me know how it goes.
