Two camera shoot

[Matthew B. Moore]

Jon, As I see it.

Pro: more coverage; easier to match the action and the emotion of a scene

Con: can take more time; blocking must be considered from as many angles as you have cameras; lighting and audio must be more generalized in most situations

What's important to you should be wieghed for each project/scene. And what's important to you may or may not be important to me.

I like that.

Is it right for everything? No. Can it still be done with quality? Yes.

The editor does look for quantity, but quality is still way more important. The most critical eyes to hit the project will be the editors once the images have left the hands of the DP. I shoot and edit, and let me tell you that quality is on my mind the entire time.
As long as we are not racing to finish something due to budget or the sun or something like that.

Cool. My Experience is that it usually isn't worth the effort on short films and stuff, but it by all means an option, but I tend to think of bad BBC play adaptions with the multi-cam setup. So much less control it seems. But sometimes a nessesary step. In any case, good luck.
