Add 1 or 2 of your favorite tips to pass on to those just getting started with videography and filmmaking. 

 

Pro Tip 1. ALWAYS pack your gear bag the night before a shoot. Packing the day of or just before a shoot you are more likely to forget something. 

Pro Tip 2. If you shoot events, especially outdoors - pack some hand warmers into your pockets or Media Credential pass in case it gets really cold.

1) Shoot static shots exclusively for a few years with two prime lenses.  It's a hard discipline to adopt, but if you can do it, you'll quickly develop into a better shooter than your peers.

2) Edit your own footage often and learn what "coverage" really means.

3) Take twice as many batteries as what you think you need.

  1. Take twice as many batteries as ...   just kidding!
  2. Have a checklist of some kind so you don't forget things.  It can be written, it can be filling each pocket of your bag, whatever, but have a system.
  3. Have a process when you get back to base (your room, your office, whatever) and be sure to include:
    1. Putting everything back on charge
    2. Downloading and backing up media
    3. Cleaning things
  4. After getting back to base take 5 minutes to think about what worked, what didn't work, and what you might change.

A simple one, but get in the habit of backing up and emptying your media as soon as you're back to base. Also format it in camera immediately after backup.

This way, when you take the camera out to shoot and see there's something on the card, you know it's not backed up yet.
