Great video! We normally use two PTZ cameras in our sanctuary, so our video director is also the camera operator, which means we don't need to call out shots. However, a couple months ago we did a special outdoor service and used two manned cameras on tripods, as well as a third stationary camera. I hadn't found your channel yet, but by God's grace I feel like I followed most of this advice anyway, and it turned out really well. You mention referring to cameras by number rather than by name. I found that it was helpful for me to be saying the camera number as I was pressing the button on our switcher, to reinforce for myself which button I was actually pressing! I also remained consistent with calling out switches to Camera 3, even though that camera wasn't manned. The next time we do an event like this, I hope we'll be able to use your tally lights!
I am going to show this to our Church Online team. This is a great help. Thanks.
Wow glad to hear that!!

Glad to hear these things made intuitive sense to you!
Great insights. Thank you.
Thanks, Henry!
Amazing content, please more videos about video directing 😄😄
I'll definitely try to make some more! Is there anything specific you're hoping to see/learn?
I'm not allowed to stand during services how can I follow the beat
You can still move your body or tap your foot while you're sitting!
Let's do our best for the Lord!
