Frequently Asked Questions

1. Vancouver Production Experience

It is important to consider the experience level of the camera operator you are hiring. This is simply because having experience in the video production enables them to understand your goals and vision for the project more clearly. Experienced crews will have a better understanding of the equipment and how to use it to get the best results which will ensure that your project runs smoothly and efficiently from start to finish.

2. Equipment Packages

A standard camera crew package includes a camera, like Sony Fx3 or A7s3, and an operator. The packages can differ, but the most important thing is to have a package that fits your content. For example, A commercial video camera package can be overkill if you are filming interviews where you need flexibility and speed. In this case, a smaller agile equipment package with a DLSR-style camera, Operator, and Small LED light would produce much better content for you.

3. Camera crew size

There are different types of camera crew packages available, each offering different benefits. Again, what's important is to know what your content needs. If you are filming a two-camera testimonial, then you don't need a crew of 8 people. 3 in most cases will suffice.

A typical video crew in Vancouver includes a camera operator, assistant camera and sound recordists.
For larger productions, roles may extend to steadicam operators, focus puller, gaffer, grip, drone pilots, and DITs (Digital Imaging Technicians).
The camera department works closely with the DOP to achieve the desired look and feel of the project.
