It’s a Brave New World.
I and my team are dedicated to working with clients in a safe way that complies with local, state, and federal health and safety guidelines. As of May 2021, I am fully vaccinated for Covid-19. I also completed two courses in and certified for Covid-19 Infection Control for photo and video productions in May and December 2020. I am a member of a Covid Compliance Officer California group that shares resources and updated information for health safety protocol during shoots and continue to take refresher courses on a regular basis.
First and foremost, I will work with you to create a plan for a safe shoot that is customized to your needs. This plan will include:
Having a pre-production safety call with all who will be physically present at the shoot
Minimizing the number of people on set needed for the shoot
Requesting that all involved agree to and sign Covid Liability Waivers that outline the safety protocols
Scheduling staggered arrivals and breaks for crew, clients, and talent
Conducting a wellness check with a contactless thermometer and health questionnaire of each person before entry to location
Requiring all persons on set be 100% symptom free, vaccinated, and/or appropriately masked
Providing sanitation stations with PPE for all to use
Monitoring social distancing and frequent hand washing
Additionally, I will work with you to determine if other measures make sense for the shoot, including but not limited to:
Virtual or socially-distanced in-person location walk through
Covid testing off-site prior to the shoot for all involved
Covid Compliance Officer (crew member in charge of sanitation during the production and compliance with health safety guidelines)
Remote client communication if the client is not on-site
