Shooting Video Outdoors? Read This First.

Video production in the outdoors is a marriage between what you truly need and what you can get by with. It may not be feasible for you to take three different cameras, lights, multiple microphones, a myriad of cables, tape, and tripods with you. You may be able to use less equipment to do everything you need, but it could require additional work.

The more remote your video production is going to be, the more you will have to be willing to weigh the actuality of what you want vs. what you need.

When bringing less equipment to the video shoot, try to remember that every piece of gear that you bring should be able to serve multiple purposes and be functional in many environments. For instance, the microphone that you choose should be both adept at capturing human voice and natural ambient sound. There is not one perfect do-it-all microphone out there, but again, balancing what you need with what you want will help guide you towards what you will end up physically carrying with you.

Keep in mind that your camera will also need to be able to shoot at the distances, resolution, and light conditions that you may encounter.

At the Fairfax Video Studio, we are always conscious of what gear we use to shoot your video, in order to give it the highest quality possible. Contact us today at 877.477.STUDIO to find out how we can help you with your video production needs.
