people who have no idea what they are doing, has changed the way
clients think of video professionals. I just received some
requirements from one of those clients and it included the following...
"Both cameras will need to be on tripods and aimed at the person being
interviewed..."
Really? aimed at the person being interviewed? Now that's a novel idea!
"Audio will need to be of high quality and only of the person getting
interviewed and no background noise. To achieve this, crew will need a
well positioned lapel microphone."
How about we use a "Well positioned lapel microphone" and a hard wired
boom just to be on the safe side? Oh, and can you call the building
engineer now to see if he can shut down the air conditioning for us?
No we won't be to long. Yes the rest of the building might get a
little warm, but it won't be to bad.
"Clear concise responses from interview talent is required (talent may
repeat answers many times over in order to get good take)."
Hold on... belay that last order. We may be there all day. Better give
everyone in the building the day off!
However my favorite requirement was that this North American company
want's to shoot 25fps for web delivery. I am going to assume this is a
typo and they meant 24fps.
It's stuff like this that makes me wonder who they have hired in the
past.
Have a great weekend kids!
