Skin Check 360 at Yarra Trail Medical Centre
Yarra Trail Medical Centre, in Briar Hill is a modern and progressive medical centre services the general needs of the local community. However they have decided to be bold and invest in a space age looking Skin Check 360 machine that is only one of a handful in the whole of Australia including the top cancer centres and specialist facilities.
The Skin Check 360 machine takes up a whole room and Erin and Peter the practice owners, wanted some photos and videos especially that articulates what the machine does, the benefits and process.
Capturing The Skin Check 360 - What's Involved...
The Skin Check 360 takes up almost the whole of a normal medical centre consultation room so there wasn’t a lot of room to work in.
it was also very echoey so having good lavalier microphones was essential to get a crisp audio.
I brought with me two portable lights and they helped just to shine a little fill light on to the subjects faces however boosting the exposure compensation to 1.3 or even 1.7 is a must in such a white, high key setting.
In settings like these I always use two camera, the main camera, with the microphone receiver and my stable which is a second camera, on a gimbal, attached to a monopod for stability. Two cameras give you a lot of scope when editing and also in keeping the footage fluid.
I also spent time getting general footage of the Skin Check 360 and Erin sent through screen recordings of the software to use as overlays on the videos. These worked really well.
I also did a little vertical video so they have a social media friendly version as well.
In terms of the stills, i use my trusty Godox on-camera flash which I find awesome for giving off a strong blanket of light.
Overall I was pleased with how the videos came up, hopefully these will go a little way to people getting their skin checked and hopefully saving further treatment in the future,
