I shot this video with a hand-held Sony HVR A1U. My kit didn’t have the right tripod plate – stupid mistake lesson: never get to a shoot without checking all of your equipment, including plates, mic sensitivity levels and batteries. Maybe even tape stock. So the finished video fared far worse than I hoped.
But I think it still tells the story minus the aroma.
