32:35 Good info on directing. What I have learned: - You have to essentially be in the future. If you focus on the shot that's live, you'll miss the timing on the next one. - Know the songs so you know what's coming next. Singers, guitars, drums, breaks, end of the song, etc. - Change shots on the beat. Count to 8 during the song. Cut to the next shot on 1. This is a safe way to time the shots during songs. Can sometimes count to 4. Tap your foot or nod your head to help hear the beat. It might seem boring but well timed cuts are important. - Tighter shots for the fast parts and wider shots during the cooldown parts of a song. - Preview with the left hand. Cut/fade with the right hand. I see directors previewing and programming different ways and it takes your eyes off the screen.
Excellent. I will show this video right away to all video volunteers in the future. Grace & Peace, Chuck (River City Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida)
Very helpful!!!! Thanks! Do you have videos showing using the camera tools on going from camera to camera and do they have auto settings that you can recall on the fly?
Hey Jake. Thank you much for the video training video. Will be going to our first recording session tonight with the new AVL upgrade you guys did at MBC. And you may have another video on this topic, but as one of the Video guys at our church I always have questions on how to frame and transition the worship team - sometimes it is just our worship leader with guitar, sometimes with one other singer or singer plus kahone , or a full worship band. Agree on knowing what the songs are and who is singing/playing what during them, but any best practices on framing and angles and camera changes to best capture the worship team would be helpful too! Thanks again.
At MBC I would frame multiple people with the side angle and use the center camera for tighter single person shots. But mix it up and keep experimenting!
Thanks for your shared Pastor! This video give me a lot information! But I want to know more about can this PTZ Canon Camera work really well with Black Magic Switcher and Black Magic Studio 4k Camera? 😊
Thank you! Bought a canon PTZ based on your advice ... but we have an LED wall on the stage and are getting crazy moire type patterns. Ideas on fixing that?
Hi Jake, Hi Monte, What about encryption? Lots of churches are being hacked. could you make a video showing how to secure the PTZ's using HTTPS? thanks,
that would be good to use if those certain church has more then one phone camera or Prof... camera (either Men/Women prof... cameras or ptz cameras) plus volunteers might be needed
Big shout out to the guy standing on stage the for entire video! 😀 40 mins long and not a sign of tiredness on his face
Steez and composure 💯
If only it was just 40 minutes… 😂
😂 Wait, it was more than that?
Great job creating an excellent training guide! 👏👏

Excited to work with you guys!

16:00 15 yr cam op here.... for me, I tell people to keep the mic in the middle of the frame. Solves the lead room issue 99% of the time.
Great tip
22:00 I always prefer a tighter pan/tilt setting on the tripod. It lowers the amount of jerkiness which newbie cam ops often have an issue with.
Cool 👌 great video too much thing for learning ❤
great video, is it possible to operate these cameras manually and automatically using blackmagic design ATEM mini pro ?

Great training! Although, I almost didn't watch because of the lack of black pro mist filter 😉.
Would you still place the C200 in a higher category than the 605? Or has the 605 bridged the gap to be on level with the C200?

A little off topic, but how do those mic capsules sound? I'm wanting to get some for my church
Is there a way to turn tracking on and off with the stream deck?
Not that we could find while testing but that doesn’t mean someone won’t write an add on through companion.
