I'm still sifting through the hour and 15-minutes worth of footage shot on Thursday. There's a lot of great stuff in it.
I thought I might blog tonight about the "tech specs" of how I am crafting this doc.
First, my primary camera is a Canon 7D, usually mounted with a 55-85mm "Frankenlens" that has been adapted to macro/fisheye capabilities.
The shotgun mic is a Polaroid directional microphone that can be switched between 90-degree and 120-degree pick-up.
I have a portable dolly system that can be attached to the tripod.
However, my normal set-up can be seen in the second image below. I "Jimmy-rigged" a monopole into a chest rig and just kind of get real, REAL close to the action. :)
There are other bits of equipment (like clip-on mics for interviews, lighting, bounces and such) that are used for specific shots.
Since, I am a "one-man-band," I carry almost all of equipment with me to each shoot, no matter if I think I need to or not.
Better safe than sorry, right? ... Well, at least after that battery incident... LOL
Cheers,

Trying not to get under foot while still getting close to the action.
