I am going to shoot a series of very short product instructional videos soon. Basically showing you how to assemble the product, use it, clean it, etc. Probably a min and a half long each. I'm going for a real-world setting so the video will take place in someones living room with people interacting with the product naturally and a voice over providing the instructions.
Does anyone have any advice or tips for these type of videos? Any equipment you would recommend? I have 3 Eliminator E-106 lights, but I think I will need to get LCD lights (something like this).
Any and all advice or tips are welcome.
Last but not least, for starting out, what is a decent hourly rate to charge?
Here is a list of equipment I am using:
Canon 5d Mark ii
Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM lens
Canon 65mm 1-5x macro lens
tripod
3 Eliminator E-106 lights
Zoom H2 field recorder
This is what I plan on getting:
D|Focus follow focus (with either the rail or mount, any advice on which one to get?)
4 Digital Juice C-Stands
Glidetrack SD Hybrid Camera Slider
Again, any input is welcome.
EDIT: To be a bit more clear of my technical ability, I have been doing abstract shorts and music videos for about a year and a half to two years. This is the first commercial shoot I will be doing however. Here is a link to my vimeo account.
