Director’s Viewfinder Ep. 1 — How I Pre-Visualize Every Shot with Cadrage

Before stepping on set, I like to know exactly what my frame looks like. In this video, I break down how I use Cadrage as my digital director’s viewfinder and why it’s become one of the most important tools in my prep. One of my favorite features is being able to load all my camera and lens combinations—whether it’s an Burano , RED , or whatever build I’m using—so I can make decisions before the camera even comes out. Better prep. Better decisions. Better images. In Part 2, I’ll break down my full physical director’s viewfinder rig.
