Lessonvp4-6. 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.
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. |
