How to Shoot with Multiple Cameras

There are a few things to consider when shooting with multiple cameras, and in this video, Chase from Zacuto shows us how to choose, setup, and switch between multiple cameras. From matching cameras to syncing audio, you’ll learn how multicam shoots can give you more options, and work to your advantage when creating video.

There is another important element to consider in narrative filmmaking when shooting with multiple cameras: sound. You want to have matching audio in your shots, so you can't make a wide and a close shot at the same time. Keep the differences as minimal as possible. Never rely on wireless lavalier microphones alone because they can cause lots of problems which can not always be controlled. Often lavaliers will not sound not half as good as shotgun mikes. If you want to capture that great performance, you need great audio too.

I only got 1 question:For example, you are filming dialogue with 2 or more cameras, how you can hide another camera in scene.

[Duckypie]

i remember when we did a short film in our college, we only have 1 camera, its very hard to make camera angles between the two persons talking,

[Glushe]

but how can we hide the cameras so they cant be at the video

[Gamerz.]

Just to give u a heads up all cameras don't have to be the same when doing a multicam shot

[chriss]

Zacuto should be mentioned in the title.

What if i used two different cameras but for different scenes ? So like if i rent a red helium weapon 8k for an important scene but then used a canon c200 for a quick easy scene ? Would it look stupid?
