Hi all,
I've been asked to record a friends stand up comedy gig next week and I wanted a little above! I've only previously shot one video interview (which went well) but I have limited time to setup for this one.
Equipment is fine, I plan to shoot with 2 DSLRs; 5d3 with a Tamron 24-70 (stationary on a 3 way head) and then a 70d with a 70-200 on a decent fluid head. I'll probably setup my S6 or a GoPro just if something fails with one of the cameras. In terms of audio I have a Zoom H4a which I've been told can be plugged into the PA system (which is super handy).
So put simply I want to set the stationary camera central and then have the 70d with zoom off to one side with follow focus. My friend originally asked for a single shot video, but I don't think this is a good option so will suggest a different solution. Any other thoughts as I'm likely to be shooting this on my own?
Also is there a format that you'd suggest to shoot in across both cameras? I was thinking 720p would be fine as this is mainly for YouTube and basic promo stuff (nothing too serious at the moment).
I'll have an hour to set everything up on the night so meticulous planning will commence very soon!
