He will use his expertise to create a distinctive visual style and aesthetic for each project in collaboration with directors, producers, and other key stakeholders during pre-production. During the production phase, Arner will be responsible for overseeing all visual execution aspects, including camera operation, shot composition, lighting, and camera movement. In addition, he will meticulously select and maintain camera equipment, ensuring that the right tools are used for each shot and that all equipment is in optimal working condition. On set, he will lead the camera and lighting crew, delegate tasks, and ensure clear communication to ensure a seamless production process.<\/p>\n<p>Arner joined ASR Media\u2019s team in June 2021 as lead camera and has received one <a href=\"https:\/\/natasmid-atlantic.org\/\">Mid-Atlantic<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/natasmid-atlantic.org\/\">Regional Emmy\u00ae<\/a> award.
