Camera Op and Video Director Training

Video from our recent camera operator and video director training.

[@Chillmaster04]

I've been a camera operator at my church for a little more than two years. I've just found your channel as I endeavour to build on my skills to serve God and his church. Thanks for an informative video. Subscribed!

[@gaebalja]

It doesn't feel like a video from 6 years ago! It was a really helpful video. I still don't understand why I watched this video now!

[@extinctrex]

Thanks for making this public. Even though this was uploaded 4 years ago, and our setup is not the same, actually far less, the PRINCIPLES still apply. Instead of me coming up and presenting this information, I can send this video to my small team and you guys did 10 times better than what I would have come up with. I have so much more I want to say to express my gratitude 🙏, but I don’t want this KZbin comment to be a novel; so I’ll end with another thank you.

[@obong1]

Hear hear

[@FullSpiritProduction]

It's already a novel 😁😁

[@NBParrott]

Man this just help me redesign the flow of our entire team. I have been looking for help and haven't found what I needed that would work for us. This is extremely helpful. Thanks!!!

[@TinagirlTravels]

Really helpful video, just starting out as a camera operator at my church next Sunday. Thank you for making this available to everyone. I feel like I learned so much and can also use this on my personal KZbin channel.

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

How'd it go? You still doing camera?

[@TinagirlTravels]

@@aguyandhiscomputer it went great, currently I’m not on the tech team anymore, but hope to get back to it when I have more time.

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

@@TinagirlTravels I hear ya. Never enough time to do everything. I've been doing it for 14 years now. A few times a month on Sundays and Wednesdays. Used to have 5 cameras but only 3 now.

[@ronnielongoria6897]

This is incredibly helpful. Would love those handouts if they are available.

[@bilgahcreativemedia814]

This was very helpful, thank you for sharing. I've learnt a lot and I'll definitely improve on my skills and my team.

[@killiandevine9605]

Man, this was just what I needed today. So glad to have found this. Very encouraging to hear your theology and culture of production. God bless you.

[@marshal7102]

Great Lessons I'm moving into production in my production company and this is very helpful for me. Thanks a lot!

[@connorpfaff5996]

Thanks for making this available! Super helpful for me and our team

[@JStevensdk7]

Thank you for making this public, God Bless!

[@marlonwalton8955]

I LOVE this! It's just like me when I'm directing

[@cah88]

Took a drink of beer every time he said “okay”

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Great video. The main issue I saw was the speed of the pushes were often way too fast.

[@marlonwalton8955]

Very helpful video. Thanks for making this!

[@tledotson]

What is the name of the website you mentioned when you were talking about Standards of Operation for Always move quickly between shots. I could not under stand the name of the website that had useful information on camera techniques.

[@NARUHOTEL]

Really loved watching this but the only push back I have is with the use of fades. For the most part, it's use should be limited to openings, slow transitions within a song, and transitions between songs. It's also important to utilize negative space between shots to avoid "ghosting." Otherwise, you will make audience go cross-eyed. Lol

[@solomonunya9700]

This is incredible....can I get a handout for this lecture

[@ariadnaavila9699]

I love this video, it’s helpful. 🔥

[@dougtaylor7724]

Must be a nail biter as a director having a different cam op every week. Great tutorial!

[@tedz2000]

Sir can you show a map of how u have u are getting the audio (coming from your mixer) syncing with the video from your switcher - My goal is to run all singers and instruments to a mixer and run the sound over to my Cam Swithcher - dont know if i need mics on each cam as well or the mixer with sync will adujust all cameras

[@JorgieMathew]

Is that Steven Ballast in the front row???

[@tabernaclechurchofgodinchr9978]

God bless you, for sharing this profound data

[@travel4you573]

Love the training, how can we get in touch with you guys to discuss some questions about our church

[@natesantos7066]

Great Video ! More Vladimir!

[@OrlandoNorth]

Are these resources still available? Thanks for sharing this training class!

[@PeterVCook]

Looks like their new website is www.productionteam.org/ but I don't see the resources he references there.

[@Ck87JF]

@@PeterVCook thanks for the link! Looks like the resources are different, but still give similar insight.

[@yoyani]

Very helpful. Thank you for this!

[@MatixLA]

Thats not really what rack focusing is. A rack focus is blurring out your subject to focus on another subject in the same frame but at a different focus distance.

[@adbayarea]

Blessings, what camera are you using?

[@alexaiam3594]

Can we get your handouts? Training resources

[@All2jPro]

Would be grate if you carried on these insightful videos

[@jadenaaronbrown1232]

Pastor Jeff I think of Young Sheldon

[@liamfr7918]

My church really needs to hear this

[@fayeshacole437]

Can we receive this PowerPoint?

[@markodendaal]

Every creative ministry has SOMEONE annoying who always wants their voice heard. 🙈 This guy on the left is pretty extra. Grace.

[@_mwangialex]

Yesssssss.... I was like chiilll mahn... The host was getting pissed but was handling it well... 😆

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Agreed. Interrupting, not shutting up when the host starts talking again, etc.

[@macauleyjosephogheneobukom3475]

Thanks for sharing this class

[@mikepruett1745]

good stuff even if you're a one camera guy ... next time get a mic for questions

[@ErastusUso]

this has helped me. thanks!

[@calinkstudios]

Did anyone else notice the bass player still rocking the same bass?? 😎😎😎

[@cah88]

It was from a year ago...not 10 years ago

[@JonathanGrahamVideo]

Who’s the guy that keeps interrupting? It’s kinda distracting from the training.

[@markdorris4209]

By chance donate equipment to church you not using? Hope you get to see this comment..

[@DanielVegter]

Nice video, but i really dont like the audio

[@ImoleLiasu1]

BLESS YOU ALL

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Geez that one guy can't read the room. Kept talking even when the speaker started talking again.

[@COGSCNY]

man that at green 59:00 glad they moved away from it!

[@_mwangialex]

This would have been an hour training if the guy on the left didn't interrupt at all...

[@michaelfardell8239]

Great video Disagree with the “establishment of the song” thing. You’re not doing a tv broadcast. Your doing a church service.

[@Styno]

36:31

[@frankservant5754]

*DON'T WEAR FLIP FLOPS*!

[@clayburst8306]

The guy to the left is annoying. Lol

[@clayburst8306]

The overly vocal audience member, is ruining the experience.

[@rumorscameras]

stupid irrelevent title,

[@glynnetolar4423]

"come on!" Your congregation had to be pushed to praise God? Interesting.
