As a professional editor, I just want to say that everything you said about covering events is spot on! Not only does it make our job easier, it makes the client happy and they will keep coming back to you. This attitude is so much more important than the gear you use.
After you edit your own projects, or other people’s projects, you realize what footage is really important. I’ve definitely been frustrated with the footage I was given to edit. So I try to keep that in mind when shooting.
I know you hate editing, but good editors make good shooters. That's why your shooting is so efficient and thoughtful. The first time I edited my own coverage, I wanted to punch myself in the face. Hard.
Yep, been there many times. I totally agree with your statement. It also helps if you create videos for your own marketing. Then you really begins to scrutinize the effectiveness of a video.
Planning ahead and also being able to think on your feet is key to capturing the best shots at conferences. You covered this conference like a blanket for sure. Wave Accounting is my app of choice. It is such a breeze to use and even though I’m not in America or Canada to benefit from all of its services, I’ve been rocking with it for years. Definitely recommended. Keep blazing brother.
I think the building you pass at 11:15 is where I used to work. (FDLE Crime Lab). I'm retired now but do video as a hobby/side job. Fun to watch your adventures. I use 2 Sigma FPs fully rigged up. Rock on! 🎬
Been really liking your videos. The back camera with those Hitachi's, looked like the Panasonic ux180 or their newer model X2's. Solid run and gun camera I think they had it linked with the other broadcast cameras as that's its main feature. Been loving your commentary on all gear and cameras.
I love nerding out on gear haha. Yeah this vlog is a nice place for sharing ideas and discussion with so many other people. I specifically love the comments so thanks for engaging!
I've been watching you channel since you had about 150 subs and I think this is one of your best videos. I love how you explain your rational behind the shots and how economical you are with trimming the fat. Can you do a quick guide on the FX6 settings to do 4K 120 on V90 cards?
I feel like I just started the channel but it was one year in April. So thanks for following the journey since the beginning! Yeah there's not much to it. Angelbird V90 cards are amazing. They can handle anything the camera can record. I filled up a card doing 4k 120 all-i, as a stress test and there were no issues. I even had success with v60 but I wouldn't feel secure using them. V90's are the way to go. Heres the exact card I use. amzn.to/3CspOxe Which cards are you using?
@@davidmorefield I'm using the ProGrade V90 SDXC 128. The setting for 120 doesn't seem to appear though. If the card doesn't support the framerate is the setting meant to be grayed out or is it just hidden?
I LOVE conferences so much! I wish I could just do them every single day!!! We contact so many different companies here in Atlanta but don't get a lot of responses😢
Yeah I find that you can be a preferred vendor for the location, talk directly to the conference (who are most likely not local) or be hired by the marketing agencies that the conferences hire (that’s what I do).
Yeah buddy forund your channel a few weeks ago. Signed up for PHUb and found work already! You da man dude and when i get up to Orlando soon I will hit you up maybe we can connect!
@@davidmorefield I’m at the lower one at the moment only for the reason of being slammed with extra bills this month but no question I’m upgrading by middle or end of the month. Thank you for mentioning it!! Love it so far🙌🏼
This info may be too late and out of date But when transferring media from a V90 UHS-II SD card make sure to use a UHS-II card reader They can utilize the cards full speed and transfer the files much much faster
@@davidmorefield yeah there is a big difference It'll change your life The one I recommend is the "ProGrade Digital Dual-Slot UHS-II SDXC USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Card Reader" on B&H Or the "ProGrade Digital Dual-Slot UHS-II SDXC & microSDXC USB 3.2 Gen 1 Card Reader" if you want to utilize UHS-ii microsd card and benefit from the faster dumping speeds, spend less time at the end of the day waiting on footage to transfer I try to make sure my clients have an SSD on hand so the dump times are significantly shorter, then I use fast cards with a fast reader to maximize on speeds
@@davidmorefield I really like it. You can create separate folders to divide your receipts or documents into separate categories. I have been using it for five years to keep my small business organized. I own a semi-truck. I shot my first wedding last weekend. I’ll be retiring next year and hope to shoot weddings and or events in my old age. Wish I would’ve found my love for videography when I was much younger. You take care I’ll keep watching.
@@TheOxleys yeah unfortunately for most bags you have to physically put your camera in them to see if they fit. A lot of times the dimensions on the website are not accurate
I'm an amateur in this field sorry. How do you plan for an event like this, like do you have a shot list or you do it right on the event? Thank you so much for this. This helps me a lot in preparing what to do next time.
@@jvaz777 If you can edit projects you will quickly see what items are necessary. Then you just have that shot list in your head. Next time you watch a recap video, take not of the establishing shots, networking, people talking to camera, broll. Each piece was inyentionally used by the editor. You can use that as a rough shot list.
Question, I noticed you were shooting proxies? Is that something you’d recommend or is that optional? Wanting to optimize my workflow for future clients!
Man I would love to do something like this but I have absolutely no idea how to find clients in my area. There's never been anything on production hub or any of the other sites like that.
The most successful route I’ve found is to start working with companies closest to you. That’s usually family and friends, then building a portfolio off of that. Alternatively, propose free content to a smaller conference that would greatly appreciate the content since they do not have a marketing budget. Where are you located?
Have you ever filmed a large conference? Would you like to?
Would love to but it’s so over saturated with how many people fight over such few positions
@@austinscherzberg4569 Are you trying to get in as a crew member or take on the entire video production?

Great video! When you have all planned correctly and have the right attitude, the workflow is so much smoother.
Absolutely!
And the ability to adapt. Something is always changing.

Yo I’ll send you a message. I’m not sure which ‘account type’ to use when I expense a receipt
Love your channel so informative, honest and open. You give so much good infos.
Im happy to share! Definitely will be posting more

i like how hard you work and how you think ahead of the game, with that attitude you'll kill it in the long run..go young gun!
Critical thinking is mandatory 🙌🏻

Nice to hear someone else using Wave! I just use them for invoicing right now but I love the platform.
Oh that’s great. I actually just gave in and switched to quickbooks. So far so good.

Nice work, it's good to see the BTS of your shoots. When you have a Dallas meet up I will be there.
Dope! I need to plan it haha
Dude this is dope we were at the same conference I spoke to you.
I love your content!!!
Oh that so cool when social and real life mix haha. Thanks for checking out the vids!
Awesome content. Hope to learn something and show my progress in the film company.

Where may I find your final video of this shoot, please? Just for my reference. Thank you for this breakdown video of how you went about it.
@@johnybrokeit I never saw it. I rarely see any of the finished work. Just shoot footage and hand off.
@@davidmorefield aah okay! Thank you for letting me know, good sir! Cheers!
This info may be too late and out of date
But when transferring media from a V90 UHS-II SD card make sure to use a UHS-II card reader
They can utilize the cards full speed and transfer the files much much faster
@@Supercon57 I use the built in one on my 2015 MacBook Pro. I doubt it has high speeds.
@@davidmorefield yeah there is a big difference
It'll change your life
The one I recommend is the "ProGrade Digital Dual-Slot UHS-II SDXC USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Card Reader" on B&H
Or the "ProGrade Digital Dual-Slot UHS-II SDXC & microSDXC USB 3.2 Gen 1 Card Reader" if you want to utilize UHS-ii microsd card and benefit from the faster dumping speeds, spend less time at the end of the day waiting on footage to transfer
I try to make sure my clients have an SSD on hand so the dump times are significantly shorter, then I use fast cards with a fast reader to maximize on speeds
Great video per usual bro. Great job!
Thank you brah
Great work🙌
Thank you dawgie 🙏🏻
Amazing work bro, definitely took some notes. Thanks!
I'm sure theres something valuable in there. Feels like a fast scramble when I'mm vlogging.
Hey David love your content. I use an app called tiny scan on my phone to save and organize all my receipts into separate files.
How do you like it? I’ll look into it!
@@davidmorefield I really like it. You can create separate folders to divide your receipts or documents into separate categories.

@@rctruckernut I also think there’s something nice about filming bc you want to and not bc you have to make money. Good luck on the venture!
Great job! Keep it up!
Thanks dude. I enjoy making them. Lmk if you’d like to hear about any specific topics in the future.
8:54 great video, super helpful thank you. What bag are you using, I love the way you access it.
It’s a fantastic bag. The onky one I could find that’s deep enough to fit a fully rigged fx6 and has wheels. amzn.to/3JhCzzw
@@davidmorefield thank you. I picked a roller up and can’t even fit an FX3 with a top handle on unless on its side 🤦🏻♂️

I only shot it bc the client requested it. It actually was my first time. Not sure how well it connects in post.
@@davidmorefield Gotcha! Thanks for the reply!
Great video!
Thanks Bruno!

So when it came to audio that didn’t matter? Or they didn’t need audio for it?
No audio requested. But I let the on-cam scratch mic roll.
The big question, did you get any hair products? Cheers...
Come on.
You know I did.
3 from the company I was contracting for and 3 from the catwalk across the hall. Had to.
@Morefield Visuals The bosses liked the Sizzle Reel, I am now storyboarding a music video.

Good to see your name on zoom today. 👀👀
Was trying to make a thumbnail/Title and listen at the same time 😂
@@davidmorefield multitasking at its finest.
I haven't had the balls to put my fx6 on the gimbal for filming conferences
I normally use sticks on a dolly.
Why not?
@@davidmorefield managing audio files.
I've never heard of a camera shop renting out JUST batteries to someone... Seems weird to me.
I may have misnomered. It’s a normal rental house. They rent out all camera equipment.
