eNews Exclusive: Alakazam! The Magic Gear Bag of Tricks (page 3)
Ah, yes! A gear bag wouldn't be complete without food, energy, sustenance! If there is one shoot that has worked through lunch, there will be millions! So pick a bar, any bar. Whatever your provision of choice is, whether it be energy gel, granola bars or trail mix, be sure it can withstand the heat, cold and crushing gear and is hopefully nutritious. Water and hydrating drinks are a must, too. Stay away from the sugar and sodas, though. They will only spike your energy, and you'll be dragging again before you know it.
Well, I hope my bag of tricks helps prepare you to mystify and amaze your clients. Remember, keep your items small and compact, and keep your bag organized, because, no matter what, the show must go on.
