Episode 69: How to Vacation with a Camera

As Nick prepares to travel with his family, what camera gear is essential for summer vacation? Plus, your questions about CTO and CTB gels, shooting in low light, and whether it’s legal to use a news broadcast in your film.

Nick uses a Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L, and this Peak Design camera wrist strap.
For lighter, sightseeing travel, Griffin prefers the Lowepro Photo Hatchback BP 150 AW II or Lowepro Photo Hatchback 16L AW.

How I Produced, Distributed and Promoted Sriracha:

• Videomaker: “Telling the Story of Sriracha”
• “5 Lessons Learned from my Profitable Indie Documentary”
• Episode 8: Selling My Indie Film

I used this Video Talent Release Form to produce Sriracha. As I’m no lawyer, it certainly could be more legally airtight to mitigate risk, but a simple release like this serves as proof that talent participated willfully, understands the project and how you intend to distribute it, and whether they should expect compensation.

This article by Jake Hicks on CTO and CTB gels explains exactly how much each gel affects white balance, including Kelvin numbers.
