There are some instances where a production can be shot “live to tape.” Seminars, concerts, conferences, church services, and various events come to mind.

A multi-camera shoot typically consists of two to three cameras depending on the client’s need. Another ingredient in the mix is a video switcher operated by a technical director who effectively directs the shoot. He gives instructions to the camera operators, “Camera 2, pull out to a Wide Shot ….Camera 1…stand by, start your zoom…Ready 1, Camera 1 you are up.” As he directs the shoot and operates the video switcher, the signal from the switcher is being recorded live to tape. At the end of the event…your program has already been completed, very little editing should be required.

The benefits of this type of production are countless. Turnaround time is fast, a client can review the program at the end of the day, and their are safety measures (such as each camera recording its own tape as a back-up) that can be taken so that you can go to Plan B if a wrong camera is punched up in the middle of the show.

When planning a shoot, make sure the production company that you hire weighs all the appropriate options and picks the best mode of production that’s right for you.
