Includes Sony BVW-D600 Beta-SP camera or Panasonic DVX-100A Mini-DV camera with all gear listed in
the 'equipment' portion of this website. While many shoots can be accomplished with a one-person
crew, it often takes longer for set up and audio. A two-person crew is suggested if there are several
people/subjects involved (so an audio mixer and a boom pole may be used). The audio package in a
one-person crew does not include mixer, shotgun microphone nor boom pole.
