Calibrating the camera(s)
If you are using several cameras remember to calibrate them. Where possible use the same brand and model cameras as it simplifies matters. Before you start shooting make sure you compare the images on an external monitor and see to it that the settings match. Also see to it that the chroma and luma are correctly set on the monitor and use a professional video monitor. Film the same thing with all of the cameras, compare the images and adjust accordingly. Look at format, colour, saturation, luminance, white balance and so forth. This will help the editing process greatly. Colour correction is time-consuming extra work especially if it has to be done on a clip-by-clip basis.
