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.

Awesome!  Even flying drones for years i find these useful to come up with a plan for when I go out to film.
