EXTRA
Lastly the extra bits that I always carry with me. Over the last couple of years i’ve collected a few different bits of random useful gear that makes my life a lot easier when shooting.
The first is the collection of F-stop bags. I wear these on my belt when filming and they make a huge difference. Often when shooting documentary you act as a fly on the wall capturing your subject as they move around. This means that you don’t have much time to be changing lenses or replacing the batteries or SD cards. These F-stop bags allow me to have my lenses and any small accessories on my belt and ready for easy access. They are also very well built featuring a military inspired velcro attachment system on the back.
The small green rectangular object is a Leatherman. These are very well built multi tools featuring pliers, a knife and various screw driver like tools. This comes in incredibly helpful when you need to tighten a rig, cut duck tape or fix anything on the go. I also wear this on my belt next to the f-stop bags.
The monitor is a small HD and the view finder is made by Zacuto. Both provide an alternative way of viewing the shot and can be attached to my rig depending on the scene i’m shooting. When filming outside I tend to use the viewfinder as blocks out sunlight and also adds another point of contact, further increasing the stabilisation.
The rectangular object with strange white dots is a Manfrotto light panel which can be incredibly useful when shooting at night bit or even just to add a fill light in an interview or something similar. Its always worth having one in your kitbag.
Finally I have a series of batteries that are always charged, at least one 2TB hard drive for logging footage on the move and a series of tools that apply to different rigs and components.
So thats it. To some people this would have been an incredibly long boring load of technical jargon so for that I apologise. But for others hopefully this has helped provide a sense of clarity when thinking about the technical aspects of filmmaking and the potential equipment you may use. If you have any more question please use the comment section below. I’d be more than happy to provide help.
The completed episodes will be coming out every four weeks starting on October the 19th.
