Bill travels all over the world shooting and producing stories and documentaries for some of the best. Over the years Bill has honed down what to take, the essential tools. In this video he takes us through the bag and gives us a good insight into how to travel light but with the proper equipment.
Bill”s comment on what to carry in his backpack
“Although my focus is visual storytelling, equipment and the proper use of equipment are important components of our craft. I’m not a “gear head,” but if you don’t understand how gear works, then you won’t be able to make it do what you want it to do. You won’t be able to capture the images that your mind’s eye “sees.”
So this video is a short riff about some of the equipment that I take to the field. I hope it helps you in some way. Please feel free to contact me with questions.
Good luck and be safe.”
