anyone else use this method? is it different for them because most of the stuff they shoot is in public areas?

Speaking as a pro who does vidoegraphy at events, clubs and other socials...
You do not need a release if the subjects KNOW you are filming them, if the location is acceptable to the public (the set is not closed), where the subject of the video would be doing what they are doing even if the camera was not there. If someone objects to being videotaped, you can warn them where you will be pointing the camera and then designate a place where the camera will not be pointed at.
However, you may need a location release from the owner or event coordinator.
