Are you prepared for your shoot? Have you captured the direction of your video through a script or outline?

Free Camera Checklist
Are you just starting out with video making and want to get the best footage out of your camera? Well we created this incredibly useful checklist that will make the videomaking process easy by getting your camera settings right before you capture the perfect shot. I’m a filmmaker that’s been creating videos for 10+ years and have shot with everything from DV cameras (yeah I’m old!), phones, and DSLR’s to an array of professional cinema cameras that cost more than a car. This step-by-step guide is a system I’ve created and used over the years whenever I’m about to shoot a video. It ensures that my settings are correct for the type of look I’m going for, as well as a list I give to my assistants on set so they can adjust all cameras at the correct settings so the footage is consistent and I’m not going crazy during post-production. Whether it’s for your vlog or marketing video, this checklist will make sure your camera is set correctly without having to think too much about it, so you can spend more time visualizing your creative shots or figuring out how to balance that finicky gimbal!
So when you’re ready for a shoot, print out this checklist and cross off each step before you shoot. Type in your settings on the dotted lines so you can keep it consistent with other cameras on your set. As a beginner, you’ll be ahead of most YouTube creators. If you’re a pro, this is a great way to get your camera settings dialed with your AC while you’re busy running the shoot.
Just remember to have fun!
