R & P Post 28: My kit list

For our shoot week, we will require a huge amount of various equipment on-set, to ensure that we can create a high-quality music video. Below I have listed our main equipment - both on-set and behind the scenes in the studio when shooting:

had completed our briefing.

In hindsight, I believe that this re-introduction to using kit within the studio was extremely useful, as it was a valuable recap to consolidate our experience and familiarise ourselves with new kit before we complete the project ourselves. It also gave us necessary health & safety information during the shoot.
