How do you spend your time on a shoot?

Imagine that we’re on-location, shooting interviews for your video. While we would love to spend the entire day filming, generally it’s not possible. Why? There’s a lot of other things that have to happen before you hear me shout, “Action”! Here’s an example from a recent out-of-town shoot for a healthcare client. This will give you an idea of how we spend our time on a typical video shoot.

A Typical Shoot Schedule

1. Load up – 20 minutes

2. Travel – 15 – 30 minutes

3. Unload – 20 minutes

4. Move – 15 – 30 minutes

5. Set up – 45 mins – 2 hours

6. Shoot – 30 minutes – 1 hour per person

7. Reset – 45 minutes

8. Shoot – 30 minutes – 1 hour per person

9. Pack up – the equipment – 30 mins

10. Move – 15 – 30 minutes

11. Load up – 20 minutes

12. Travel to lunch

13. Lunch – 45 – 60 minutes

14. Travel – 15 – 30 minutes

15. Repeat

While every project is different, this is a good idea of what it takes and a reminder that there’s a lot of physical preparation that has to happen before we can actually begin videotaping.
