Setting Up For A Video Shoot

By Admin · June 30, 2009 · Filed in Video Shoots

This post provides a visual story on what it take to set up for a video shoot. Setting up for a shoot like this can take several hours and don’t forget to factor the load and unload time. One of the biggest challenges for video it the lighting and Duchin Productions has invested heavily in a full complement of LED lighting.
Here is a shot of Guy Holt hanging 4 bank Kinoflos using Porta-Grid clamps (guy is also the inventor of the Porta-Grid clamp). The low ceiling made this shoot pretty challenging.
