There are many things to consider when you are looking to
become your own production company or to open your own production services. One
of the first things you have to consider is what type of production you plan on
doing. What equipment you need to have at all times versus what makes more
sense to rent. Whether you are going to have a full time staff or you are going
to hire contractors to get work done. No matter what direction you are going
with your production company there are certain things you cannot get around.
You need productions trucks or a single truck. This is something you can use to store all your
gear in and get it from place to place. There is no way to get standard
production equipment from place to place in a standard car. A van or a truck
with extra space in the back usually helps to give you a place to store the
equipment and even to work when you are on the road.
If you plan on working in remote areas, you need to consider
satellite uplink trucks. These
doubles as trucks that can hold your equipment and can help you send footage
back to the studio or get it up online. No matter what type of production you
are doing, it is pointless if you are not able to get the information out to
the masses. You need to be able to reach some sort of connect no matter where
you are.
Cameras are another big part of putting together a true
production package. Depending on your camera and lens package you will need to
choose a lighting package that compliments what you are working with. Certain
lenses require more intense lighting to process the information properly. You
should work with a camera operator who enjoys the equipment you have or work
with your cameraman to determine the best equipment for your price range and
your needs. Spending lots of money on equipment that is not easy to use often
slows down the process rather than making a quality, finished product.
