What is multi-camera production?
Multi-camera production involves simultaneously capturing a subject or event with two or more cameras from different angles. This approach is standard in broadcast television, live events, and big-budget programming because it allows seamless real-time switching between angles, reduces the need for re-takes, and ensures comprehensive coverage of complex, fast-moving scenes like concerts, conferences, or live shows.
What camera systems does Blare Video use for multi-camera productions?
We operate a wide range of professional cinema cameras depending on project requirements. Options include 4K mirrorless systems (Panasonic GH5, Sony A7), mid-range cinema cameras (Sony FS5/FS7, Canon C300), and high-end 6K–8K systems including RED Epic Dragon, RED Weapon Helium, RED Weapon Monstro, Alexa Mini LF, and Sony Venice 2.
Which markets does Blare Video serve for multi-camera productions?
Our primary production markets are Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Tucson. We also serve San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle, and Portland. Our distributed crew network means we can staff and execute large multi-camera productions across all of these regions with experienced local and traveling crew.
Can Blare Video handle last-minute multi-camera production bookings?
Yes. While two weeks' notice is ideal for larger multi-camera setups, we can accommodate bookings with as little as 24 hours' notice. Crew members can also be added, removed, or swapped on existing bookings up to 24 hours before the shoot, providing flexibility for fast-changing production schedules.
Does Blare Video offer live streaming alongside multi-camera production?
Yes. We provide full live video streaming services integrated with our multi-camera setups. This includes on-site live switching, bonded cellular internet connections for reliable broadcast-quality streams, and support for events ranging from corporate conferences and product launches to large-scale entertainment programming.
What does Blare Video's equipment rental include for multi-camera shoots?
Equipment rental packages cover camera support rigs, lens packages, sliders, gimbals and jibs, audio microphones and mixers, teleprompters, production monitors, lighting and grip, 4K–6K aerial drones, on-site editing suites, switchers, comm and cabling systems, and bonded cellular internet.

What types of productions is multi-camera video best suited for?
Multi-camera production is ideal for live events, award ceremonies, concerts, corporate conferences, trade shows, TV commercials, broadcast specials, sporting events, and large-scale branded content. Any production where real-time coverage from multiple angles — or minimizing downtime and re-shoots — is a priority benefits significantly from a multi-camera approach.
Does Blare Video handle post-production for multi-camera projects?
Yes. Our in-house post-production team handles multi-camera editing, color correction, motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation, sound design, audio mixing, voice-over recording, and custom delivery formats. We can take a project from raw multi-camera footage through to a polished, broadcast-ready final deliverable.
