Can you guess how many people we needed to film this car sequence? It might seem straightforward, but in tighter spaces, the setup becomes more intricate and precise. This process requires skilled professionals, the appropriate equipment, and careful planning. From camera operators and lighting technicians to sound engineers and directors, everyone contributes significantly to bringing the scene to life. The limited space within a car necessitates innovative solutions to achieve the ideal shot while ensuring the crew's quality and safety. Did you count till the end? Let me know the number in the comments below. #BehindTheScenes #Adfilms #Adfilmmaking #Adfilmmakers #Crew

Covering high risk production activities is what we do and car scenes are a standardised favourite of ours. Regardless of the geographical challenges or location our experienced safety and medical crew stand ready. Car scenes can come with a lot of variables, challenges and risk. Although, cinematographic and safety methods have emerged to standardise these scenes, the variables in play still create a dynamic risk that warrants industry professionals to assist make the scene safe. Moving seamlessly between a process-trailer or a low-loader our team of experts can ensure the risk is managed and the medical team are equiped and on standby. A general rule in film is that the more variables in a scene, the more difficult it is to film.  But the Explora team are always on hand to simplify the process and manage the risk. Here is a crew of 14 strapped in for the ride on a recent project. #exploramedicine #riskmanagement

We use Black Magic cameras because of the B-Raw footage that gives us an incredible amount of flexibility in post-production. #lightscameraaction #lights #video #videostudio #brightlights #studiolights #videomarketing #terms #onlocation #crew #videocrew #production #videoproduction

Unlike movies, where you can have anywhere from 50-300 people working on a project, depending on the scale and type of production, TV broadcasts, especially news production teams for a show, are often small, ranging from hardly 10-20 people, including transmission. The camera department alone on the set of a sizeable TV or film production would have a DOP, camera operators, steadycam op, drone pilot, several assistants, a gaffer and several lighting assistants, a key grip and several grips/rigging technicians and sometimes 'swings'. And that is not counting the audio department and DIT/DMT of course. News? A news videographer is a one-man (production) band. You are the DP, camera op, grip, audio recorder and often the editor. Did I mention the stand-in? So you can frame, expose and pre-focus before the guest/host arrives. Thankfully, technology today has given us some amazing monitoring tools, including wireless devices that make life much easier if you're a one-man production. This isn't a promotion, but I must mention the amazing DJI wireless transmission device, that acts as an accurate monitor/recorder while allowing you to move around and adjust what you need to. A dummy human would still help though 😄 😛 #dji #monitor #wirelessmonitor #news #newsproduction #cbc #cbcnews

One of the most common gimbal mistakes? Moving too slow. 🛑 Moving your gimbal too slow can cause jerks, but a bit of speed brings out that cinematic magic. [DJI RS 4, gimbal calibration, camera stabilization, filming tips, gimbal setup] #DJI #DJIRS4 #RS4Pro #Gimbal #GimbalTips

🔃🎥👌 Filming vertical is a pretty common element of my work now. But, it’s not always easy to rig for vertical… Until now! 😅 I’m sure people have already worked out rigs like this (or better), however this is my latest attempt at a practical vertical video rig, and I’m stoked! If you have additional ideas though, let me know! #videographer #verticalvideo

"The main advantage [of] the Apollo ... is the ease of moving an entire department's worth of gear without breaking my back or taking valuable time away from production."

THE DEDOLIGHT LIGHTSTREAM FLAG SYSTEM: HARD AND SOFT LIGHT FROM A SINGLE SOURCE Controlling the ratio of hard light to soft light is the skill of the cinematographer; the dedolight Lightstream Flag system offers the tools to control and direct the light as needed. This crosses between hard and soft light, adding more versatility to the installation of the reflectors, clearing the set from unnecessary lighting paraphernalia while still enabling control over the soft/hard characters of the lighting.
