Initial Setup and Design Considerations
Discussing your team’s goals is the first step to finding success in a podcast production. Much effort goes into creating your look and feel. It’s all part of finding your voice as an individual or an organization.
Points to consider:
– Video or Audio Runtime
– Set Design (Furniture, wall colors, table, bookshelves)
– Lighting Design
– Number of Cameras/Guests
– Props (Bookshelves, TV, Silk Plants, Decor, Bring your Own)
– Branded Bumper Animation
– Theme Music Stingers

PODCAST Recording Equipment
Up to 4 cameras and mics are included. No charge for camera support gear such as tripods, lenses, etc., unless you just wanna get crazy with it. We can add dolly track or jib if moving shots are desired or an overhead shot if you are presenting something on the tabletop, such as painting.
Cameras
– We currently utilize a Blackmagic Design Ursa 4.6k for the wide shot and 3 Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema 6k cameras for individual shots.
– We typically shoot in 4k for editing crop and reframe flexibility when exporting as HD 1080p.
– We recommend shooting in 4k since Youtube loves 4k footage and does little to no processing of a 4k image providing professional looking results.
Microphones
Mic placement or concealment depends on the desired look you want to achieve. Mics may be completely hidden or table mounted.
– Lavs – hidden beneath shirt or clipped on lapel/collar
– SM48 – visible, mounted on table
– Zoom ZDM-1 Condenser Mic – visible, mounted on table
