Here is a topic that many find difficult: summary writing. With piles of information to wade through everyday, we must be able to summarise well to provide to-the-point answers. Nobody wants an encyclopaedic answer to pressing questions. What we want are the important points. In this session, I will talk about doing just that!

►WE USE THIS CAMERA (B&H) – https://buff.ly/3rWqrra
►WE USE THIS SOUND RECORDER (AMAZON) – http://amzn.to/2tbFlM9

Stuff we use:

LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important.  This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner.  Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - http://amzn.to/2tbtmOq

AUDIO 

Rode VideoMic Pro  - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio.  It also helps us sync up our audio in post https://amzn.to/425k5rG

Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - https://amzn.to/3WEuz0k

LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light.  We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - http://amzn.to/2u5UnHv
