Written By STUDIO WILLIS

When the schedule is tight and the environment is unpredictable—tight offices, back hallways, moving subjects, changing light—the Sony FS5 is a smart tool for practical, high-quality capture. It’s especially useful for shoots where the client needs a clean story and clean coverage without building a huge footprint.

Service categories: Brand storytelling video, corporate interviews + b-roll, event recap, BTS content capture, documentary-style coverage

Why we use the FS5 on certain jobs

Compact footprint, fast setups

The FS5 is a great fit for locations where you want to stay light: office hallways, retail spaces, hospitality, and live environments.

Controlled exposure in changing light

For Vancouver’s constant shifts (windows, cloud cover, mixed practical lighting), the FS5 workflow is designed to keep exposure consistent without slowing down the day.

Practical for documentary-style brand capture

If the deliverable is a tight edit (not a “set piece”), the FS5 supports a run-and-gun approach that still feels intentional.
