Before assigning any of these extras to your project shoots, you should ensure that the confirmed project budget covers the appropriate costs. These are the sorts of considerations you will have already made before first confirming and activating the project with the client. See the producer’s Project Confirmation Checklist. |
Ensuring your extras are correctly tagged here will also help the VMSX system to understand your project’s scope in getting delivered. We should be able to pull some very interesting company-wide analytics between shoot extras and project scopes — eg, do we need more lights? Or to hire more field producers?
These are the additional extras currently available for a shoot:
Shoot Time— Automatically selected, this represents one DOP with a full camera and lighting kit.
Additional Shooter— Additional Shooter — This is a second DOP with a full camera and lighting kit.
Additional Camera— Camera — This is a second camera only. It should only ever be added as the third camera for the shoot, as we never send out two cameras with one DOP. Three cameras with two DOPs is acceptable under some circumstances, such as studio shoots.
Shoot Assistant— Assistant — This is an assistant to the DOP, and does not come with a camera kit.
Drone— Visual Domain does not shoot any drone in-house. This is outsourced to preferred suppliers in Melbourne and Sydney. Check the freelance directory for drone operators in other states.

Field Producer— Producer — Works across a range of projects, and ensures that project briefs are followed, directs interviews and liaises with the client on set.
Studio— Studio — Your project will require some time in one of our studios.
Travel— Travel — You should be adding (and ideally budgeting) for all travel more than 1 hour beyond the offices in Melbourne and Sydney.
