A Video Production Checklist For Your Live Event

Unless you have a professional video production crew on your payroll, chances are that you may have to book these professionals. You must remember that having a professional crew work on your video production is a key determining factor when it comes to the quality of production. Apart from identifying the crew, you will need to brief your crew adequately in order for them to be able to bring their skills to bear. Ensure that you give them as much information as possible and as early as possible. This allows them to plan ahead, something that will go a long way in making your live event a success.

When it comes to the location of your production, it is a great idea to involve the crew that you have just signed on. This is because the location impacts aspects such as lighting, audio, and much more. There is also the aspect of power sources, backup power, permitting, and access. Since all these aspects will affect the ability of your crew to function, it might be a good idea to discuss potential locations before settling on one.

The type of equipment that you use will vary depending on what kind of event you are running. In most cases, you don’t have to delve into the nitty-gritty of the technical equipment that you need. Your crew of video production experts will often be able to guide you on the type of equipment that is best suited to achieve the production quality that you are looking for. In many cases, the equipment will be determined by aspects such as the location (studio, mobile production truck, and so on). it will also hinge on whether there is also a live audience on-site in addition to the remote audience.

A critical aspect that should be in your video production checklist is the source of power and quality Internet connection. Preferably, you want to have a primary as well as a backup source of power and Internet. You also need expert help in determining that both primary and secondary power sources are well distributed to ensure that you do not overload any particular circuits, and that you also have a redundant backup Internet source. You also need to ensure that there can be a seamless transfer from your primary source of power and Internet to your designated backup.
