Ep. 94: Hollywood Steve: Steve Fracol

In this special episode about mentors and relationships, Marvin meets with camera operator Steve Fracol (Scandal, Sons of Anarchy, Green Lantern) and asks him to share his journey to success from his humble beginnings in Kansas City to the pinnacle of his profession in Los Angeles. You hear why sometimes it's best to take a step backward in order to take two steps forward. Steve tells you about the incredible value of hooking up with good mentors including, in his case, Garrett Brown (inventor of the Steadicam) and several leading cinematographers. Steve initiated those opportunities for himself.His quest to learn from the best and create new personal and professional relationships led to a higher quality in his craft and more work opportunities.It could happen to you. But you need to ask first. Mentors rarely come looking for you!Steve stresses that your personality is the driving force behind your level of success. You set the tone for the team. Do you have the “personality of an onion”? Stop it. You're making us cry. Are you a "carpet inspector"? Don't be. Look me in the eye! Steve explains why.Play nice with others or you may not be asked back into the sandbox. The best camera operators, like Steve, know this. So do successful people in all creative careers. Have we ever mentioned, "it's a team sport?"
