A wide two shot plus a close up per guest is the standard for YouTube podcasts. Renting two bodies for a recording day costs less than owning one.
02
Pick bodies that run long
Podcast takes run 60 to 90 minutes. Use bodies that handle long recordings and keep them plugged in, so there are no battery swaps mid conversation.
03
Light and audio make the episode
A soft key light flatters every guest; check our Lights catalog. Record audio separately on your recorder or lapel mics and sync it in the edit. Viewers forgive soft video, never bad audio.
