Problem solving
Problem solving is a huge aspect of what I do every day because every single shot is completely different from the next and each one requires a different approach.
I have to use my problem-solving skills, especially on more difficult shots where it's a real patchwork.
I often take elements that were shot months apart with variable lighting and try to combine everything in a way that looks real.
Sometimes, there's a need to experiment because a director or supervisor may not exactly know what they want. Often, we have to brainstorm to come up with other solutions.
