Each documentary group will be issued a standard equipment package, consisting of a Panasonic EVA1 camera package, a Canon 70D camera package, a sound recording package, a lighting package, a grip package, and expendables.
A-Camera: Panasonic EVA1
The following procedures for the Panasonic EVA1 must be followed:

- All interviews must be shot with the EVA1
- Standard capture settings for the EVA1 must be 2K at 100mbps
- Slow-motion photography on the EVA1 must be discussed in advance with the cinematography instructor
An equipment checkout for each documentary group will be scheduled during the week prior to production commencing. The full equipment package can be viewed here: Sample Manifest (Draft). No special equipment or alternate options are provided for documentary projects.
Camera media cards and storage drives will be issued to each show at the final greenlight meeting.
