How do you Prepare for Safe and Effective Filming During a Pandemic?

Let’s face it, patience for those stock footage ads is wearing thin. We are thrilled to be creating live action content for our clients again. As such, we have created a covid 19 safe filming guidelines policy that are based on advice from the APA.

 

Here is a quick summary of what measures we put in place to prepare for a safe and effective film shoot: (When we can!)

 

Pre Prep for Covid 19 Safe Filming:

• We complete health checks for everyone attending the shoot.  These take place 7 days prior to filming, on the day, and 7 days after the shoot and action is taken accordingly.
• Venue is well ventilated & follows appropriate Covid-19 Guidelines before we agree to use as a location.
• Backup crew are always ready incase any substitutes are needed.
• Call times are staggered to avoid congestion and the production is meticulously planned. Wellbeing is paramount.
• Dedicated members of staff regularly clean the equipment/ venue
• A limited crew will be on set at one time.

 

On Set Safety Measures:

• All cast and crew signs a health declaration before being allowed on set.
• Cast and Crew have their temperatures taken before allowing entry.
• Tape is placed on the floor prior to filming to set out the marks of 2m distance. Crew, cast and client boxes are clearly marked out to ensure everyone has a safe place to be
• Everyone has their own separate ‘holding spaces’ designated to wait while filming takes place.
• Sanitiser stations are set up around the space beforehand and tier P.P.E will is provided and worn by all.
•  Clients can choose to be on set via video call or in a separate space with a remote shot of the camera to oversee the shoot.
•  Scenes are played back on monitors. This avoids crowding around the camera.
• Open, honest communication maximised wellbeing and FUN throughout the day!

 

Covid 19 Safe Filming Measures:

• Only one camera operator is present on set with a remote camera.  Filming is done in 2k or 4k and then the video size is cropped later. This means we can keep a safe distance and get the correct composition needed to make our films look great.
• Studio filming consists of a filming space which includes only the subject, or product and camera operator. All other crew are  away from the action area and can move between sections on a one in one out basis.
• Prelight is planned prior to filming in an empty space. This allows fewer people to need to interact with each other before we film.
