Notes
- Depending on what and where you intend to film, you may need to
obtain permission (from the location and performers).
- Be sure to outline your requirements. I don't bring
everything along, only what seems likely to be necessary for a
particular job.
- Customers are advised to read the information about video taping
productions, to be aware of the issues that can be involved,
particularly when live performances are to be recorded. And the
page about planning, filming,
and editing productions if the job is about producing a video, rather
than just hiring equipment and crew.
- Filming with independent cameras, then editing afterwards will
probably cost more than mixing as filming. Required editing time
is hard to predict, but usually takes several times longer than the
filming time (e.g. editing two hours of filming may
take eight hours to complete). And independent filming lacks the
cohesion between shots that you get when all cameras are being directed
from a control room.
- We also do single-camera filming.
