We shot with a Canon T3i, 50mm 1.8, 10-22mm EF-S, Zoom H1 and the Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro.

Here is what I enjoyed about making this video:

• Coming up with creative b-roll shots on location
• Using b-roll to bridge sections of our video. Eventually, we will find a way to work with very few titles.
• Varying our framing for different questions i.e. WS MS
• Styling props to help tell story and connect writing with Marcus in a visual way
• We changed the music on this peice

What I learned

• Don't hide the external mic behind props to get more direct sound
• Just bought a Zoom H4n with two lavalier mics FTW
• I bought an excellent tripod on the recommendation of Cheesycam.com Fancier FT-718 fluid tripod!
• I shot at the magic hour just before sunset and with my back to the sun. I loved the lighting on this video
• Sound was a challenge again, but I gotta work with what I have
