Jon Simonassi Instagram – Video on a tight deadline: How-To 👇
1. PREPERATION
– Create a detailed shot-list and convert it to the notes app on your phone, check off each shot as you capture it.
– Find the music to your project in advance, or at least 3 selections that you’ve narrowed down. Listen to it on repeat in the car, in the shower, on your walks. This will help you build the edit in your mind.
– Create a text-based assembly edit with your music, so that you can slot in the footage easily.
– Gather whatever assets you think you’ll need: sound fx, logos, plug-ins, LUTS etc.
2. THE SHOOT
– Shoot with two cameras to get enough footage/angles per scene.
– No second camera? Your smartphone can capture useable footage these days.
– If you have limited time to shoot, you can capture in 60fps or higher to double the amount of footage you’re capturing, which can be slowed down later and further manipulated in editing.
– Build your camera-rig in advance, balance your gimbal, set up your audio equipment, put your filters on, so you can hit the ground running as soon as you arrive on location.
3. THE EDIT
– Even with tight timelines it’s important to properly organize your footage in folders.
– Grab all your selects and put them in a new timeline, you can basically ignore the original footage now and focus on the good stuff.
– Use AI tools to speed up workflow, the entire voiceover you hear is my own.
– Stock footage is your friend!
– Get a rough assembly out the door ASAP, if your client isn’t happy with the direction you’re taking it’s important to address that early on.
– Have at least one friend you trust give your video a quality assurance pass, by looking for spelling mistakes, glitches, audio problems etc.
🧠 I’ve created hundreds of projects on these kind of tight timelines and the thing that has saved me time and time again is preparation and making smart decisions before you ever hit record.
