I was not at the Vacaville campus this week, but it looked like we had some powerful services. The footage looked great this weekend. Pacing was great, shots were great, lighting was great. There was some awesome creativity and movement in the shots this weekend.
VIDEO DIRECTING STARTING INTO THE SET
This weekend we had great pacing on the directors cut. One thing to look out for is the order of how we’re cutting into the songs. Ideally, we want to START verses and choruses on the worship leaders. We are light years better than we used to be on this, but this is a small area that we can tighten up to make our cuts that much more intentional and polished.
Desired cuts

:13 Cut to drums/instruments

:23 Cut
Live Cut
:05 Johny Intro
:19 Cut to drums as WL starts verse
:22 Guitars

IRIS/ROLL
We’re still being challenged with our “roll” or “level” in shots. We need to keep an eye out for how we’re framing in our movement.
Also, Video Directors/Producers/Cam Ops, we need to be aware of the iris balance between the cameras. See the below shot of of Cam 5 iris level in comparison to the rest of the mobiles, especially looking at the LED screen.
