Pizza, Funerals, and Nudists: Cinematographer PJ Brown On The Ruby Hour Podcast
We had our most giant guest yet, the elusive PJ Brown, on our show today.
In today's episode, we interview the elusive animal, PJ Brown -- a brilliant cinematographer who happens to call Charleston his home base. PJ has produced, edited, and directed commercial content, music videos, and is also a long time friend in the wedding filming world.
In this episode we discuss:
origin stories involving funerals, nudist weddings, and pizza shops
evaluating the soul values of projects and if that dream client is truly a "dream"
the power of leaving the camera at home to take in the real moment (even when you're in portfolio-worthy places.)
