Disclaimer
What the guidance on this site is, what it is not, and where your own judgement has to take over.
General information only
Everything published on digitalkindred.com is general educational information about filmmaking craft. It is written for a broad readership and cannot account for your camera, your microphone, your location, your crew or your budget. It is not personalised technical advice, and it should not be treated as a substitute for hands-on testing with your own equipment.
Results vary
Filmmaking outcomes depend on far too many variables for anyone to promise a result. Nothing on this site guarantees that a technique will work in your situation, that a shoot will finish on schedule, or that footage will cut together as intended. Where we describe what usually happens, we mean exactly that.
Equipment and brands
Where a category of device is mentioned — a camera, a lens, a recorder, a microphone or an App — it is for illustration. We do not certify, endorse or warrant any product, and specifications and behaviour change from model to model and between firmware versions. Always read the manufacturer's own documentation.
Safety on set
Filming can involve electrical equipment, heat, heights, vehicles, water and public spaces. Nothing here is a safety standard. You are responsible for risk-assessing your own production, obtaining any permissions or permits required where you are filming, and following the rules of the venue and the law in your jurisdiction. If in doubt, engage a qualified professional.
Legal, insurance and rights
Questions about location releases, performer contracts, music licensing, insurance and public liability are legal matters. We do not provide legal advice and nothing on this site should be read as such. Consult a qualified adviser in your own country or state.
External links
We occasionally link to third-party websites for reference. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or privacy practices.
Editorial independence
Our articles are written by our own editorial team. We do not accept payment in exchange for coverage or for a favourable opinion. If any future article involves a commercial relationship, it will be disclosed clearly at the top of that article.
