Film Stills Photographer: How to master snapshots of Beetlejuice

Tag, we have got so much more to learn from you about what it's like to work in film and with famous faces.

But first, there is a big old camera in the studio that must be addressed.

So you have brought an object in with you which help represents what your job is all about.

Right.

And this one, I'm assuming, has a lot of history behind it.

Well, it kind of does, but it c- it is also something we no longer use, because this is how old and archaic it actually is.

This is a sound blimp.

Okay.

It used to house our cameras.

So when our cameras used to be either film cameras or DSLRs that you would go chk, chk-

Yeah

... chk, chk, chk, chk, chk.

All that.

Um, we couldn't do that on set, not when they were rolling.

Of course, because it's quiet on set.

'Cause it's gotta be quiet on set.

Yeah.

Especially over their dialogue.

So we had these, which were silencers.

We would put our cameras in them.

That is so funny.

Look at that.

Look at that.

You open it up, and then you literally physically put your camera in that.

Oh, and then you, you plug it in.
