![]() The DIT on set had some questions for me about how I wanted everything organized and I had a bunch of questions for him about what software he was using and other DIT related questions. My first ever experience with ShotPut Pro was on a project I was editing I came to set one day to check out everything and help with any post-related questions. ![]() Now, I had seen people use ShotPut Pro before, but I had never touched it. ![]() DePaul was (and still is) in the process of upgrading their DIT cart, so it was a relatively stripped back setup which consisted of: a late 2013 Mac Pro, a monitor mounted on a VESA arm mount, and that was pretty much it. I looked up workflows and important aspects of DIT work and by far the most important thing in every article, video, and online tutorial was having a reliable software that can verify file transfers using a checksum.Įverywhere I looked I kept seeing ShotPut Pro being recommended and luckily enough for me DePaul had a DIT cart with ShotPut Pro installed on it. My first time working as a DIT was on a student project, we were shooting on the Alexa Amira and I really didn’t know what I was doing. So, when I was given the opportunity to work on set as DIT, as a last-minute replacement, I found another part of the industry I love.Ĭombining post-production attention to detail and on set creative problem solving, being a DIT is both a challenging and stressful position. As I began to find my niche in the post-production world I found that, while rewarding and satisfying, I started to notice I missed the energy and excitement of working on set. I enjoyed the process of assembling and editing shots together until they begin to form a cohesive story, something about the puzzle-like nature of the entire process appealed to me. As I explored the different fields, I realized my passion was working in post-production. Throughout my time at DePaul I have had to opportunity to explore almost every aspect of filmmaking from screenwriting, directing, cinematography, to sound. I am originally from Oakland, California however, I moved to the bitterly cold city of Chicago to study film at DePaul University. ![]() The student becomes with teacher with ShotPut Pro March 18, 2019
