Hey everybody,
I'm kind of a lurker here on LL, much more active on FM, but figured this question might be a bit more appropriate for this forum.
I've booked a large shoot for several weeks from now on the beach, shooting the lookbook for a surfing apparel company. It will be a 1-2 day shoot with a fairly large crew, about 7 models, and multiple packs/heads, a digital workstation running off a generator, etc
I was wondering if anyone has practical experience with this scale shoot on a beach, specifically. I usually shoot on location, but have never had to deal with this much sand (or dirt, grit, etc) in the local environment. Are the any industry "best practices" for protecting gear and keeping sand out of little connection points, corners, etc? I'm most concerned about lighting equipment and the computer, although it looks like I'll have an 8'x8' "tent" of sorts for the workstation and digital tech, so that should cover the computer. I'm also renting 2 extra bodies so my 4 main lenses can stay permanently mounted.
Thanks in advance!
