More Tips & Tricks!

As promised, here is more information on producer's bags (see blog post from October 17th). What is a producer's bag? A producer's bag is a collection of helpful items that you always keep ready to take with you when you go on a shoot. Contents vary based on individual producers' requirements but some good pieces of equipment to have are: extra batteries for your camera and any microphones you use, lens cleaner, a flashlight, canned air, your camera's manual, gaffer's tape, headphones, white paper (for white balancing as well as taking notes), a pen or Sharpie marker, a Leatherman or other multi-tool, zip ties, and a bad weather cover for your camera. It's a lot better to have this stuff and not need it, then need it and not have it. :) Have a great weekend!
