Video Assist is a position on a film set that enables other people than the camera operator to see what the action looks like. This would include the recording of sound if there was any dialogue being recorded at the same time.
It is used for evaluation purposes. The main people that use it are the Director, Producers or Clients to make sure that they have the shot before they move onto the next shot.
The use of video assist is beneficial to all crew members on a set in case they need to make sure that things match from a previous shot or something was not right in the scene. It can be reviewed with specialized recording systems that keep track of the different scenes shot.
I was involved in helping to develop and bring to market in 2009 a software program that has revolutionized the video assist position. Itโs called QTake HD and has been the go-to system for over 10 years. It enables us to record multiple cameras at a time and keep track of each shot and be able to recall them in a fraction of a second. One amazing feature is the ability to create Visual Effects Shot (VFX) live on set. Basically shooting someone on a Green Screen and putting in a background that is not there as if it was there. We can also provide images wirelessly to iPads via wifi. Pretty amazing stuff!
