First time “Filming session”. Any tips ?

[Japan107]

So I have booked an SP for a 1 hour session who allows filming . I’m wondering if any pooners out there have any experience with this.



Is my iPhone good enough, should I bring my DSL camera/ tri stand situation, extra lighting etc…



Any tips or advice is appreciated.

Why stop there? Grab an A and a B cam. A couple of Reds or better yet Arri Alexa for their low-light performance.

You're probably going to want an overhead mic and a good audio recorder like a Sound Devices or Zoom. Don't forget to jam your timecodes to keep everything in sync.

Okay thanks for the hot tips

I was thinking maybe Go-Pro too. Why not go all out

I've done a few amateur vids. You might struggle with keeping the show framed with a hand held phone, and especially during the money shot.

My advice is to consider what scenes you are trying to capture (cowgirl, BJ, POV) then set up a camera on a tripod. If you can sort out cables it might also help to plug your camera into a nearby TV so you can watch to make sure your scene is staying in frame and you are capturing then angles you want.

I mostly did BJ videos so I'd set up my camera/tripod next to a comfy armchair.

Solid advice . Thanks
