Comment on The truth about video gain and how to use it properly by Eric Emerick

A snack is definitely invaluable (snack bars or the like), especially on those long shoots where lunch runs late,or not at all.

Also I just stumbled upon John’s video on “What to bring with you on the set” which covers most of these ideas: http://www.productionapprentice.com/tutorials/general/your-pa-backpack-what-to-bring-with-you-to-the-set/

12. The camera plate. I’ve had to bungey cord the camera on to the head before now.

I keep it with the tripod, some keep it with the camera – the trick is to be consistent.
