Hey all! I'm curious -- what do your conversations with the DP look like during prepro? When do they usually happen? Do you connect with any other crew members? What sorts of questions do you ask? 

I usually ask some form of the following:

What camera body and lenses? What configurations or setups to be ready for? Other special needs -- support, filtration, monitoring, etc? And what sort of locations do we need to be ready for? Any other concerns/what's your biggest concern? 

I usually have them or the producer link me in with the rental house as well. 

If there's a steadi op, I'll often reach out and see if they need anything. I also establish connection with the DIT. 

Curious as to what your conversations looks like!
