Mark, I’m an ICU nurse who also has a love for documentaries. I’ve been in discussions with my hospital about filming a documentary inside the COVID unit I work on. The information in this video was so incredibly pertinent to me! I’m an absolute novice, and this project is bigger than me, but with the help of people like you, I feel like I can succeed!

This is so true. I used to pack a whole back full with lenses, hang tripods on it, bring an extra camera so i could do interviews with 2 angles. Sometimes even brought a suitcase with extra stuff, like gimbals, sliders etc. The only thing now in my current backpack when i shoot solo: - My BMPCC4K - 12-35 2.8 lens (i can do most projects with this lens. The more specific projects i use for example anamorphic lenses) - 3 Battery's + the charger - An external monitor - Video mic pro for a bit better scratch audio or lavalier for interviews - SSD card - Top handle + side handle That's basically it. I also got myself a less heavy, smaller tripod for if have to do interviews. Most of my run & gun projects i can do with this. I also have a small 42.5 f.1.7 panasonic lens that i keep in my back justin case. But that doesnt take up any space and fits in my battery pouch. The more productional side of things like commercials, music video's etc, i of course bring more.

Great tips. This brought me back to my own one man band shooting a documentary about the street kids in Kenya. It was a battle, and all the stuff you mentioned here was amongst the lessons I learnt the hard way. Compact sound bites would be a gold for me to fully understand before I was shooting. It saves so much time in post. Also reviewing footage can be film saving - especialy if shooting in remote places where you cannot reshoot. Thanks for sharing.

Great video mate! The compact sound bites is such a key one which I think comes with experience. The first few corporate interviews I did were, I thought, great until I had to somehow get multiple interviewee's responses into a sub 2 minute edit :D I find that not only will an interviewee relaxes into the interview after you've asked various questions, but you also get to know the content more so getting those soundbites at the end is so much easier. Asking them to repeat the question in their answer is great too so the viewer/listener knows what they've been asked. Merry Christmas bro!
