Filming in the summer can be both exciting and challenging. High temperatures not only affect the comfort of you and your talent but also your equipment. Planning and preparation are essential to ensure a smooth and successful shoot.
Summer filming brings several challenges. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause iPads and other cameras to overheat, leading to shutdowns or permanent damage. Additionally, batteries tend to deplete faster in hot conditions, affecting the duration of your shoot. As we all know, summers in North Carolina can be brutal, so it’s important to avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
To mitigate these challenges, consider planning your shoots during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon, to avoid peak heat. How do you tell if your device is overheating or getting ready to overheat? You’ll notice some jitters inside the camera app, and performance on the iPad tends to slow down when the device is too hot. You may also notice that the device is hot to the touch, which is a major warning sign. If left unchecked, your device may automatically shut down to prevent overheating.
Here are some practical tips to help you handle the heat and avoid overheating devices during summer filming:
- If your iPad or other recording devices feel hot or start showing signs of overheating, give them a break to cool down.
- Take the iPad out of its case and placing it in the freezer for no longer than one minute can cool it down faster, getting you back out and filming sooner.
- If all you have is your car, hop in, turn the AC on full blast, and bring your iPad up to a vent. This will help it cool down faster.
- Ensure everyone stays hydrated by providing plenty of water and electrolyte drinks. Dehydration can impair concentration and performance.
- Schedule regular breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas to prevent heat exhaustion. You can also use these breaks to cool down your equipment.
Filming in the summer requires careful planning and proactive measures to handle the heat. By following these tips, you can prevent device overheating and ensure a successful and comfortable shoot.
