Lesson

vp4-6. Packing
​

Packing for a video shoot is like preparing for a road trip. There are all kinds of minute details to remember that can make your journey easier. We cover a range of miscellaneous items to bring.

What you will learn
You’ll learn to expand your packing checklist and the importance of many ‘unimportant’ items.

Backpack
With equipment so small, it should be no problem fitting everything into a backpack. Camera backpacks tend to be more expensive and heavier because of built-in padding. I often swap out what’s inside so I prefer an empty shell and add the protection myself.

Checklist
There’s all kinds of things to bring on a shoot that you might need. Here are some but you should make your own list. Some of this stuff, make sure you still have when you pack up.

  • Business cards
  • A note pad and pen
  • Water. Might save a long walk
  • Snacks. An energy boost after a couple hours of work
  • Protection from heat or cold. For you and your equipment
  • Swiss Army knife
  • A real knife
  • Real screwdrivers
  • Real pliers
  • Extra batteries
  • Gaffers tape

Conclusion
​
A packing list sounds like something used by Boy Scouts. But it’s easy to forget to bring all kinds of seemingly unimportant items - until you need them.

​Likewise, a packing list can remind you to bring them home from the shoot. Learn to have a packing list.
