## Resource

The first digital imaging technician to join the podcast, Jason Bauer began his career using still photography for previs on productions shooting film. As cinematography shifted to digital, Jason trained other digital imaging technicians before eventually stepping into the role himself. Now one of the most sought-after DITs in the industry, he has worked on major productions around the world. In this episode, we explore the role of the DIT and the value they bring to a director of photography. Jason breaks down the hardware and software he uses, how he works on set, and why DITs are essential to modern filmmaking. We also talk about his experience working on Taylor Swift music videos, shooting Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in Australia, going remote in Thailand for Thai Cave Rescue , and filming Cherry in Morocco.
