[@energyuniverse6044]

I have always loved the multi camera shooting as it makes everything easy and quick 😍

[@Film_It_Yourself]

Totally! More and more movies are doing it now a days too!

Another slick and timely video. I have to do a documentary and will be surely taking a second look at this one (and also taking a second look on your vid on lav mics). Thanks again for making these little tutorials - much appreciated.

[@Film_It_Yourself]

Oh awesome! Yeah multicam is great for docs. No problem and good luck on your shoot! 😃

[@Adventureruler]

Very helpful tips! Thanks!

[@Film_It_Yourself]

No prob! Thanks for watching!

Hahaha timely video. I'm already looking for a 3rd Panasonic GH5 camera for my 3 camera setup. I have some speedy production work I have in mind.

[@Film_It_Yourself]

Nice! Love the GH5! I have a GH4 I use with mine for a two camera setup but would love a third as well.

@@Film_It_Yourself the premise is 4 looks in 2 takes. Wide, medium, close-up and cutaways in 2 takes. Sounds impossible... But it def can be done.

[@Film_It_Yourself]

You can totally do it! I did an eight camera shoot once! It’s super fun though does require some coordination. Lol

[@DavidGriffin]

@@Film_It_Yourself 8 cameras!!!! Lord Almighty!!! That takes a lot of space!!!!

[@Film_It_Yourself]

@@DavidGriffin haha yeah well to be fair several were GoPros so that helped!

You missed a one con of multicam. Multicam means boom ops need to be even more careful about where they position the boom.

[@Film_It_Yourself]

Great point! Totally true and much trickier for boom ops.

How to match two shots Close up shot and wide shot at same time

[@Film_It_Yourself]

Hi there! Could you be more specific with your question? Do you mean color correcting wise? You can shoot the two shots at the same time with two cameras if that’s what you mean.

[@disisfunny88]

@@Film_It_Yourself i mean when ur shooting a person if you take one close up shot. you and and ur camera will appear in the second camera footage because it was far away from you recording a wide shot

[@Film_It_Yourself]

@@disisfunny88 if you use a telephoto lens the camera person shooting the closeup can be farther away and not be in the shot.
