Today’s guest is Nik Pilecki, a cinematographer based out of Ontario Canada.
As he’ll say in the interview, he’s an open book. And that book is packed with awesome lighting, camera work, and practical tips for progressing your film career.
Some of my favorite examples of Nik's work include his music video work for “first prescription”, Plain White: Brigade, his SFA firemen ad, and the short film Inhale.
In this interview, we talk about Nik’s crazy journey into the film world and you’ll SEE why he has an EYE for lighting and executes his camera work with surgical precision. And yes those jokes are as CORNEA-s they come. We talk about cameras, lights, real actionable tips to meet other talented filmmakers, the best hamburger chain known to man, and how passion projects can take you to the next level of work.
I really admire Nik and I’m so thankful he agreed to come on the show.
I would recommend taking notes on what he says because I really believe if you do what he says, you will progress faster in the film industry wherever you are.
