1. LEAN CREW

We look at this as an ‘essential personnel only’ kind of a situation.

Most collaboration happens remotely and we restrict the size of the video production crew to be as lean as possible to ensure there isn’t unnecessary gathering of people during shoots.

2. BEING THOROUGH

We provide a highly-experienced team consisting of a Cinematographer and a Sound Technician who have had ZERO COVID-19 symptoms.

And when we say zero, we mean zero.

3. EQUIPMENT

Before the shoot, the crew carefully wipes down all equipment with 70% alcohol solution.

4. PROTECTIVE GEAR

Before entering the location, the crew puts on a brand new sterile mask and gloves.

The crew also carries spare masks, gloves, alcohol solution, cotton, sterile piece of cloth, and hand sanitizers.

5. HAND HYGINE

Before, during and after shoot, the crew sanitizes hands in accordance with guidelines issued by WHO

1. MINIMAL CONTACT

Only essentIal personnel would be allowed on set during setup. The crew would begin setup in a controlled environment while the interviewee stays out of room and called in only when needed.

2. PREPERATION

To ensure safety and minimal contact at all times, The interviewee does his/her own hair and makeup.

3. CHOICE OF GEAR

As part of sound gear, we use a boom pole microphone and not a lapel mic to avoid all physical contact with the interviewee.

1. DISTANCING

The crew maintains utmost social distancing, staying 3 to 4 feet away at all times

If the frame needs to be changed, the interviewee leaves the room if needed to maintain social distancing.

2. ADDITIONAL SHOTS

If B-roll is required, only the cinematographer will go around shooting that and ensure there is minimal contact with people around and that he/she is wearing protective gear.
