Awesome. I use color tape on set, put tape on floor where customer stand, where furniture shoud be etc. Also use different color of tape to make different cable or equipment for faster setup on site.
Great content! One thing I want to see or understand better is your interaction with corporate leadership as well as the talent before, during, and after a shoot. I like it when everyone knows their part on arrival, but many times as you've stated- they lean on us as the experts of the medium to give direction or feedback. And knowing the questions to ask leadership/ decision-makers beforehand could definitely help steer those discussions with talent if/as needed so the client gets what they want and need to fulfill the objective.
You could get a Bubblebee mic holder with stickies that would allow you to properly hide a lav mic inside a shirt - that way you don't have to use the clip and can place the mic in the center of the chest (rather than clip it on the collar line where it's an audio dead spot). One thing I noticed is you put the key light on the opposite side of the windows that are in the shot - visually that doesn't make sense. Maybe putting the light on the side of the windows would cast into the TV, but it doesn't look like the angle would have made that happen. Great video Scott, and I'm glad to see the video BTS back!
Hi Scott, I like your sound blankets. Those are really nice solution to dampen the sound. I tried compressed wool panels before, and I found them ineffective. I saw cotton white sound blankets on Amazon that reminded me duvets 😊
I haven't used the Rode's in that type of situation, but a couple of points come to mind. Those mics are omnidirectional, so each mic will pick up every speaker and also pickup the room acoustics. You say you have tried Shure stage mics, to me a wireless Shure could have lessened room acoustics and also pickup of other speakers. Of course no internal recording, so that adds another layer to set up. On reflection, looks like the mics are placed quite close to the speakers, so less room echo I guess.
Some good points for sure. A couple things. I de bleed the microphones in post so they don't pick up the other people talking. I also do correction for room itself. All in all, I get a fantastic result, but those are important pieces for sure.
We've had these Benro tripods for awhile. We previously used larger cameras and wanted the extra support, but the tripods are expensive so we kept them, and still use them.
Hey scott Great video ....I have a newbie question about the tV set up and working with reflections. wouldn't using a cpl get rid of all of the reflections. would it affect the quality of the video?
I really like how you talk about the challenges of the shoot and how you tackle them. Good stuff.
Glad you found it valuable. Let me know what other things you’d like to see.
Great to see this setups works. I always wondered why people didnt use that setup. It’s so clean. Thanks for showing that 👍🏼
Yes it works awesome.
Great video Scott! Really love seeing behind the scenes content 🎥 Also love the way your back posting on RUclips. I really enjoy your content 👏🏻
Glad to hear you've been enjoying it.
Glad to see you back doing BTS content, Scott! Good stuff as always.

Great to see BTS of you and the team back out on the video work jobs again!

I can make a video about that for sure.
That was a slick podcast setup. Great to see you! Cheers from NY!
Thanks bro. Good to hear from you.

Yes, we use stickies to hide underneath the shirt and do that. We don't ever show the lav mics for normal use. Always hidden.
Thank you for your presentation. High quality of course.
Glad you liked it.
A Scott McKenna BTS??? Let’s Go!!!!
Lets gooo
Cool video! I enjoy seeing BTS. Shows the hard work and creativity you guys do.
Glad you enjoy it.

Blankets are nice option for sure. They definitely help. We don't always use them every shoot, but often.
Just wait until the Yankees finish up their season. Daily vlogs coming back?! 😁
We shall see. Go yanks.

Do it more :)
Sounds good.
What company are you using for the acoustic blanket?
These are the ones in the video: vocalboothtogo.com/product/sound-blanket-producers-choice-with-grommets-solid-black/
Great video, why such big tripods for the camera rigs that you're using?

The problem is the TV type. It's high gloss like most standard TV's.
Why don't you do weddings anymore?
