When we’re shooting panel discussions or live speaking events for our clients, we want to make sure that we capture enough footage to make the editing process easier and create a more engaging final video. In today’s Thursday Tips, you’ll see how using two cameras can help us do just that.

– In today’s “Thursday Tips,” we’re talking about panels that you may have at your next event. We’ll get calls from companies and they want to shoot that panel so they can use that video in the future, which is a great idea. Here’s the problem. They often say, “Oh, we just need one camera,” and this is why that doesn’t work. Right now we’re sitting on a bench, Sam’s at one end, I’m at the other. Imagine if we had two other people here. This is that wide shot and what it looks like. But if I’m talking and then I pass it over to Sam and Sam’s talking, you don’t get to see a closeup of him. You don’t get to see a closeup of my expressions. And then when you go to edit and use it in the future, it’s rather boring. But if you add two cameras, that second camera can get a tight shot of the person speaking and that camera can be manned, so it goes from person to person, whether that’s me, Sam, or any of our imaginary guests. So next time you have that panel, make sure you have two cameras, making post-production much easier and allowing you to get more use out of your video.
