From Filmmaking to Fire Spinning | Cinematographer Marshall Fine

In this episode, join host Erika Christie as she chats with videography professional Marshall Fine. Marshall shares his history in film and video production, culminating from a childhood influence to his formal education at Chattahoochee Tech, where he honed skills in various production aspects from lighting to post-production. Marshall talks candidly about his passion for capturing dynamic scenes, from action-packed skiing adventures to mesmerizing fire spinning art. He discusses the importance of safety within the fire community and the challenges of filming with high frame rates to capture the perfect slow-motion effects. This episode promises to give a glimpse into an early-career filmmaker and what he is doing to up skill himself and get his name out.

Erika Christie- Collaboration Across Creative Fields: 

“A filmmaker comes to you and is like, “Hey, Marshall, I need help with something.” And then they go ‘bam, bam, bam’ and tell you exactly what they want. But for someone who's listening, who's a graphic designer or who's a musician or who's a dancer, and they ask, “Hey, Marshall, I need something filmed.” And then you start asking them questions, they may not know how to answer because they don't speak the language of film."

Some Questions I ask:

• Do you have a filming preference? Live events, shooting, editing, graphics, BTS filming? etc. 
• What got you into filmmaking in the first place?
• PROCESS AND DEVELOPMENT: What questions do you ask yourself about new projects? And what do you ask the requester about what they want?
• What are the simplest things a non-video person should know to work with a filmmaker?

In this episode you will learn:

• Marshall’s preference for being part of a production team
• Reflection of past projects with nonprofits and their impact on his growth
• Challenges faced during solo projects and resource management
• The role of live event tracking and adapting to unpredictable scenarios
• Exploration of Marshall's content and YouTube channel and specific interests in fire spinning videos
