Going through older footage, forgive me but some of this footage needs to see the light of day somewhere. Turns out, no one is arguing how beautiful the PNW is. Things you learn from week long, dawn to dusk shoots: 1. Always bring tons of power/media. With docu-style filming, it's hard to anticipate everything that goes in the final edit, so roll on what your heart tells you, anticipate reactions before they happen. This means you might be rolling on a lot of random stuff. 2. DIT as a separate role: This helps so much with long days obviously. If you're one man banding the production, shooting all day, then staying up 'til 2am to dock footage and getting up at 5am for sunrise ain't gonna fly for 7 days straight. 3. Pocket beef jerky: Always carry beef jerky with you, you never how far the hike actually will be. Especially if Colton Jacobs is on set. 4. Buy the durable, reliable, simply things. Why spend $15 on XLR or SDI cables when you could spend $20 more and get durability and function. Nothing sucks more than a cheap part failing the $45k setup you're filming on. Don't risk that.
