After making videos for over 7 years with a focus on dance, I want to share with you 5 mistakes I often see that I wish I knew about earlier, so you don't have to.

Great points Kai! All the best with your course 💪!

[@KaiVertigoh]

Thank you so much Richard!! Hopefully this knowledge will make it easier to work with dancers, so they have the insight and empathy to work more directly with you :)

This video was great! I have zero camera/filmmaking experience. My brother spins fire and I’m looking for ways to help him film content. I’m so happy I found your channel!

[@nolandecreton3325]

[@KaiVertigoh]

[@KaiVertigoh]

Hello, Can i ask you what would be the ideal focus setting to film an group dance video - have an Nikon Z6 - i like the information - very helpful - i normally film one subject at a time. Thanks

[@KaiVertigoh]

Hey Rajesh! For a group dance video, I'd recommend shooting at a higher aperture (f4-5.6) Just so that more of your subjects are in focus. Lower can work too, but it might be more difficult to keep everybody in focus!

Hey Kai, THANK YOU for these points! im starting my business of filming different kind of things (dance, business, ...). Where I am searching still is what fps you should chose for dance? I'm always shooting at 25FPS with 1/50 ... but it's like I can't get that sharp image! Thank you for sharing this wisdom!

Kai! i love this videos! really looking to sign up for your movement media mentorship as soon as i can! but i have one question: Whats the gimbal mode you recomend to film regular class dance videos?

[@KaiVertigoh]

Heyy thank you so much!! I would say to start, pan-follow (PF) will do you just fine, but once you want to start adding new dimensions, try playing with Pan-Tilt-Follow!

[@RISEDANCECAMP]

@@KaiVertigoh hello!! Thank you a lot.. this is actually so helpful , I'll try that 🙏🏽🙏🏽⚡️⚡️

[@franciscosahlstrom9839]

Nice video! I´m more into filming couples dancing now, you have a lot of experience and tips filming 1 or more couples dancing like salsa? Regards Francisco

[@leonieprodz]

Really great video, thanks for the tips! May I ask what lense and gimbal you use? :)

[@gcprost]

You have some very valuable information here; however, it doesn’t really help me as I film dance as a part of live theatre and dance shows in theatres.

Amazing

[@griigsee8316]

Hey Kai, do you think it's fine to use a sigma 28-70 mm zoom lens?

This is rich!
