What’s in Your Kit: Cinematographer Frankie DeMarco
The Kit
I’ve chosen to exclude my meters, specialty lenses and other DP hardware and opted to show you what’s in my “use-all-the-time” kit. I use these items on all my projects: movies, TV pilots or commercials.
A. Adidas ClimaCool trainers / $60

B. Bonger / $20
Japanese massage tool for relieving neck and back stress.
C. Tiffen .15ND filters
Sometimes a half stop makes all the difference. Angelo Pizzo and Paul Schiff gave me these custom-made filters from the Filter Gallery in NYC after shooting on MyAllAmerican wrapped.
D. Small container with my mother’s ashes
