Start Directing Like a PRO | Tips and Tricks for Beginner Livestream Directors

[@grnphroggy]

Great video! We normally use two PTZ cameras in our sanctuary, so our video director is also the camera operator, which means we don't need to call out shots. However, a couple months ago we did a special outdoor service and used two manned cameras on tripods, as well as a third stationary camera. I hadn't found your channel yet, but by God's grace I feel like I followed most of this advice anyway, and it turned out really well. You mention referring to cameras by number rather than by name. I found that it was helpful for me to be saying the camera number as I was pressing the button on our switcher, to reinforce for myself which button I was actually pressing! I also remained consistent with calling out switches to Camera 3, even though that camera wasn't manned. The next time we do an event like this, I hope we'll be able to use your tally lights!

You can still move your body or tap your foot while you're sitting!
