Some Guidelines for Filming in a Pandemic
It's the first big project post-Corona and first time managing a large socially-distanced crew. I learnt a lot, including the following guide for my future pandemic shooting:
Less crew, less subjects, (a lot) more time.
35mm lens or more. Keep distance.
Big ol' monitor = no need to crowd round it.
Remember that sterilizing lav mics wasn't fun. Shotgun mics are the future.
Even the comfiest mask hurts after the 4 hour point. Switch between different ones.
And generally:
Socialising 12 hours/ day is hard now.
