Multi Camera Directing - Dariel Cummins - Saved By Grace by Israel Houghton

Since there's not a lot of multi camera live directing footage out there, I made my own. Here is me directing a live service at Experience Church.tv in Puyallup Washington. This is a 6 camera shoot.
2x on tripods in the back
1x on jib
1x mobile camera
2x Marshall POV cut aways

Thanks for sharing this behind the scenes footage! Very informative

[@speheger]

Your camera calling technique is very similar to mine. I’m retired from Christian television and church media currently volunteering at Next Level Church, diagonally across the country from you in Fort Myers, Florida. You have a very nice setup. Hopefully we can acquire a jib in a new building still at least a couple of years down the pike.
I, too, have found a great resource in younger camera operators, many of them seem to learn very quickly. As an extreme example I have used my six-year-old granddaughter as technical director for a couple of songs in a worship set with very good results. And she loves it. Start ‘em early, I say.
Keep up the good work.

Stevan Speheger Thank you!

[@jonathantimothy2149]

I absolutely love the work you and your team are doing…👏🏾

[@cougar_mountain]

Would love to see a full production. Looks good.

[@frankservant5754]

This is so AWESOME I'm so pumped 🤩🤩🤩last week was my first time directing. I'm still discovering my own style and this helps a tonne

[@GlenGummess]

VERY illuminating! I am a first-time teacher of video production basics at my college and this will serve as a great primer for my students as they enter the experience of learning camera directing. I only wish you had called for the lower third that I saw cued on one of your monitors. Outstanding!

[@LePhilippin]

Cameraman: "Can I get a guitar solo"
Dariel: "No"
No one: okeyyyyyy

[@justolise]

what devices do you use for comms

[@GHMEFilms]

This video was super helpful to me. I’m very new to both church and live production, so hearing how you call shots awesome. Great video!

[@ethanseth_24]

More please😭with some tips and tricks, i just got into directing.

[@dpkuriakabucho]

This is great.

[@mareteruna2204]

This is awesome Daniel thanks for this.

[@gerardobello1747]

This is more than impressive to me. Specially thinking that your camera operators are under 18! Great job. I have a different point of view related to church production because my church is a small one and more traditional. But you are not just doing a good product, you are guiding this young men into something else! Keep doing a good job. God didn’t deserve less!! Impressive.

[@pastorgoodnewschi]

I love this

[@tutunarualecs3284]

Great work !
one exception>> you need more HeadRoom o top on FRAME for rised hand< don't cut the hands...
whole of shot its with cut hands !!!!

[@suzette750]

Outstanding work!!!!

[@vizon-aryproductions6191]

Wait till the cams are out of the shot , u are rushing just a tad

[@JimyFlips]

Great Work! And getting that production from 'new' cameramen was really awesome. I am 19 and I also want to master the art of vision mixing. I am hesitating to ask this but, could you upload individual camera clips of your cameras so that people like me can practice online editing? I will make a multicamera project in premiere and practice it. Thanks!

[@Darielcummins]

I’ll work on trying something like that.

[@marcoderouwe2445]

Well done bro!

[@mayechisavali1919]

Sir which camera best for live cricket matches to youtube streaming

[@suportebretanha1445]

Olá eu sou do Brasil. Gostaria de saber qual a swicther que vocês estão usando

[@kaloulialosena]

Similar to how i direct. Awesome. Recommending it to those beginning or interested in directing live shows! Do you direct any other kind of live shows like any games apart from that?

[@Darielcummins]

Thanks for the comment! Most of my directing is church related, however we do do a lot of podcast shows / live events.

[@gregzalewski9678]

Great video. Question. Do you use an assistant director to shade\balance the cameras?

[@jasonthetford7487]

Hi Dariel. Good work, question about timing your camera cuts. Do you try to do it in a particular beat or upbeat of the song? Or do you just feel it as you go? Cheers.

[@Darielcummins]

Jason Thetford I go off feel. I usually know the songs pretty well, so I have in my head what I want before I even start directing.

[@JosueFlores-tm4sx]

Excelent work.
What communication do you use and what program to change cameras?

[@peteremile9100]

For camera is a video switcher

[@Darielcummins]

[@Able388]

@@Darielcummins sir does it have any delay

[@Darielcummins]

@@Able388 no delay. Typically once you go to a proper intercom system, there’s no delay issues.

[@bertruiz9476]

Nice

[@gaeldilamh2572]

Can u realise something like this with OBS?

[@JWstudios]
