As always great job to the team. This weekend James was mentioning just how impressed and thankful he is to our team to pull off an excellent production week in and week out despite being in a little town called Vacaville. We do think our team is awesome and love what we get to do.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
I’ve noticed for quite a few weeks, we’ve been mentioning the “roll” or “level” of the mobile cameras. One area of improvement from all of our mobile operators is keep an eye out for how level the shot is in frame. Here are a couple of examples.
ROLL/LEVEL
In this clip (and the next) there is great framing back to back, BUT, we just need to look out for the roll/level of the camera. An easy way to to do this is to look at the LED strips on stage and try to keep those vertical in the view finder.
TRANSITION MOBILE
I’d like to see MORE of these kind of shots during transition or exhorts. Good position from the mobile op, and good awareness on the VD to take this shot.
In this clip there are two things to keep an eye out for.
MOBILES: Watch out for the roll and framing. Try not to be in a position where the speakers body will be blocked by someone’s head.
VD: Be alert and cut off the shot quickly when there is a head or a hand covering the majority of the speaker
MOBILE CAM MOVEMENT
Great movement here from this op, love the movement from the drums to the frontline. If you have not added movements like this to your kit, try practicing this the next time you are on the team.
