I enjoy mixing slow motion shots with some real time stuff. Time-lapse are fun for events. Trying to capture emotion is great as well from the crowd.

@@BestBBQShow The more coverage the better, I try and be conscious of record times though, getting shot many ways but just bursts of seconds and I'm out, that way I can see from the thumbnail what the shot was and decide if I need it in post.

@@cameranerdsmedia so many great thing I forgot to include, especially the time lapse bit. such a great hack if you have a spare camera, I always setup my old go pro and let it run out of battery. If I know I need sound and Nat pops with the edit I always error on the side of shooting everything in real time unless I see an opportunity for slo mo.

Hey Javier, thanks for the great content as usual. I have an idea for a future video. After shooting an event like this, you have a ton of footage. How do you choose the right clips and how do you overcome the boredom of editing these kind of videos. Thanks!

It’s good to know that you look for people walking in the frame. I would think you wait for no one to be “interrupting” your shot. Tiny bits of wisdom like that are why I watch videos like this

Clients HATE when their event looks empty. If you have a crowd shot with a gap of people missing, they’ll tell me to take it out or scale it in to fill up the frame. Save this step by planning these shots in advance.

For the text on the stairs I think maybe you could keep the aperture, but use a slightly wider focal length, and then walk up the stairs having each part of the phrase in focus when you pass it. Reverse it in post. I’m a beginner, but just an idea. Not sure if it would work or not.

Hey Javier. Great vid. Love the content. With regards to what shot to get for the stairs, I personally would have been further back with a telephoto lens and perhaps have people walking by as I racked focus. SO I would start out blurry, in a stationary position, then as people are walking up or down, left or right, past the words, I'd focus on the words. Hope that makes sense. Just an idea.

Great video Javier. What tips or recommendations would you make to someone shooting an event solo? I’m shooting a book signing event for a short highlight video, but I’m torn on what lenses to rent, if I should rent an additional camera and keep it on sticks and if I should use a gimbal vs handheld with an Easyrig. The event is short 1 1/2-2hrs so changing lenses and setups probably will not be ideal. I’m thinking of going with a 70-200 and a 24-70 and leaving my primes at home, setting the 24-70 on sticks while I knock off closeup shots with the 70-200. I think for audio I’ll just have the speaker hooked up to a lav mic to capture quick sound bites if needed. Any thoughts? I saw you using the 70-200 handheld, how is that? Seems like it would be tough to get a steady shot. Thanks!
@JavierMercedes

My hand held was slo mo though, the 24-70 would be your best bet. Have the 70-200 on sticks cause you will want the steady shot.

Very well done video and good thoughts. However, In my opinion, the horizon seems skewed on almost every shot. Also, the focus seems to be on the background and not the subject on some of them. What is your opinion on having the subject in focus vs the background with the client's logo? I would prefer to have the subject in focus and the background logo still visible but blurry.

I'm not the best at this, When I'm on a shoot I have things on and I just switch on the fly, I'm sure that isn't supposed to be the way you do it but when if you are the one holding up the shot on set because you need to turn off the camera each time you switch a lens, that may lead to not getting a call back next time. I'd say do whatever you think will keep your equipment in tip top shape. But also be cognizant of your surroundings and the situation. Hopefully that helps (Insert shoulder shrug emoji, except I can't right now since I'm on a computer :)

As long as as the sensor isn't pointed directly at the sun you shouldn't have a problem. Was out on a shoot with the same setup here and switched lenses all day long no problems.

You should always turn off the camera when switching lenses. The image sensor generates an electric charge that attracts dust.
