Where to begin
1. Determine your goals for the recording.
-
The Audience:
-
Who are they?
-
How & where will they access the recording?
-
What reaction/response are you hoping for?
-
-
What is the budget?
-
Start with “all options on the table” to brainstorm creatively, but…
-
Develop plans that are attainable within a realistic budget.
-
No worries if you're unsure. I am here to help you ask and answer these and other questions along the way.
​
​
2. I’ll have my own set of questions about the event and venue, such as:
-
What will the physical setup need to be, to yield the best results?
If the venue has been chosen, or especially if not, we must consider these variables:
-
Audio-Visual Needs:
-
The lighting
-
The visual backgrounds
-
The acoustics
-
The sound system, if any
-
The best vantage points, resulting backgrounds and sightlines
2. Logistics, such as:
-
Workspace needs
-
Physical obstacles, including audience
-
Varying lighting conditions, reflections
-
Ambient noise
-
Electrical power, RF interference
-
Site access, parking, etc...
3. A budget and work schedule is agreed upon after careful consideration of the variables mentioned above.
4. The “real work” begins.

Coming soon: a video will demonstrate and discuss further details.
