If you're frantically searching the internet because you're shooting an event in < 24 hours and have no idea what you're doing, this one's for you!

shooting my first big event tomorrow and this video is super helpful! great tips, thanks so much, I feel more confident now :):)

good points, having an f4 lens for wide shots (14-35 or 16-35) has saved the day when I get addicted to shallow dof on my other lenses while shooting candids. Love the 70-200 2.8 for capturing genuine moments without drawing attention.
another other tip would be selecting music after you’ve gone through all of the footage, sometimes the footage calls for a different genre than I was planning on.

This is awesome, I’m recently hired as a beginner to capture behind the scenes of a content marketing agency. I wasn’t really told what to do and was just given a camera. I have a shoot today and this is very helpful !

Thank you so much 👍, tomorrow is my first event shoot and I need a little bit of ideas to make it perfect and u don't believe I am a school student and shooting in my school event 😂.

"Starting out" has nothing to do with getting the right tools for the job the first time. I just started out with video not long ago and I have all of my basic stuff all together including a gimbal and my first client needed pretty much what I had. Never fear that being "new" means limit your gear. Better to have more than not enough...when you need it.

This has come so far since those old LAN party videos 🤩

[SparkleanAutos]

Josh, as always, I've learned something new from one of your videos! The majority of these steps I was already taking without realising but you've given me a few more extremely useful tips 👍🏼

I have one issue with filming that cannot be overcome with the majority of these tips though - as well as being the camera operator, I'm also the subject... Well, my content is based around car detailing and I have to be in front of the camera 🤣 the only movement the camera gets is for B-roll footage at start/end of each 'story' but I work around it with different camera angles as much as I can!

Thanks again and keep up the great content 👍🏼👍🏼

Hey Josh, thanks a lot for sharing these tipps! Really helps me for my next project :) I also experienced that it's cool to enage and arrange people for shots interacting with the camera. So, in the video it feels more like to be a part of that happening.
Would be interesting to see your tipps for this type of interaction since you have done a lot of social media content and interviews for your previous company, right?

damn bro thank you! ive been editing remotely for about a year and just now got a full time job doing video+editing so thank you this is going to be very helpful and useful!

[AntonWongVideo]

#3. yeah, I used to use my tripod as my stabilizer. Now, I use a glidecam-style gimbal with my Panasonic IBIS turned on (best IBIS on the market)
#8. I think it's "incorporate"

[paradigmproductions]

Great video! It was a good reminder of some things that I need to work on and some things that I've gotten better at, thanks!

[NYCPhotography]

Great video Josh, I think I learned more from this than from a year of shooting events.
