In this B&H video clip, go behind the scenes with the B&H crew to learn how to shoot with multiple video cameras. These tips and techniques can be applied to a variety of multi-cam styles to ensure your next shoot is a success. Among the topics discussed are the importance of working with the same camera or brand—due to each manufacturer’s unique look and color science—and selecting lenses with same level of image quality. Also covered is the importance of synching the settings for an editor to work with in post—from time codes to syncing software like Pluralize to using a slate (or even a handclap).
After noting the distinctions between documentary shooting, live event coverage, and narrative filmmaking, you’ll learn about editing for multiple cameras via multi-cam sequencing. This function marries all of your camera angles into a single sequence and a single viewer window, allowing you to preview multiple clips simultaneously for a more efficient workflow.
