I think it does depend on the height difference.  It won't work in every situation but is a useful took to keep in your back pocket

Thanks! 

Think of your viewer in the intro.  Either hook them to get them to lean in more or tell them exactly what they're going to get in this video so they know its something they want to watch

talk to text is so useful to generate a script.  Allows you to talk it through without recording yet and then you can clean it up.  

This project was a tough one to film. The jetlag and intensity of the story really got to me.  Day one we got a whole deep dive into the history of the genocide which was important to understand, but emotionally tough to process.  

To avoid just getting b roll, always be on the hunt for the story and see what can be captured in the moment that will progress the viewer from a to b 

Everyone is in a transition phase it feels like.  Its good to have some flexibility on your channel so it can evolve with you.  

For this one I used the A7C2 because I got it early before the launch and really wanted to test it on a doc shoot.  I had no issues with it overheating in Rwanda.  However, I didn't do any long 30+ min takes.  The biggest problem with these small cameras is when you are doing higher frame rate, bit rate and letting it roll for long takes.  

Thanks for the feedback.  I have 2 more that I am working on from SOWN shoots in the last year and am working on doing more of these in the future.

Thanks!  Hope the whole course will continue to be practical and helpful!
