Why Film Behind The Scenes?
Filming behind-the-scenes footage of Glambot® in action adds significant value to both marketing and service. It showcases the creativity, technology, and precision that go into capturing those cinematic slow-motion shots, giving audiences a deeper appreciation for the experience. This type of content builds excitement and trust by highlighting the professionalism of the team, while also creating shareable, engaging material that extends the Glambot’s reach beyond the event itself. By pulling back the curtain, behind-the-scenes footage not only elevates the brand’s storytelling but also demonstrates the premium service and unforgettable moments clients can expect.
Recommended Equipment:
Layout:
In order to capture the full experience of Glambot®, you'll need three different angles:
Director: This iPhone can be setup on it's own tripod stand. It should be placed off to the side slightly behind where the guests are standing.
The angle should be focused on the director, while also capturing most of the robot
Note that this is the iPhone that should be recording the mic'd audio. Attach the Rode audio receiver to this iPhone.
Guest: This iPhone can be mounted to the Nanlite tripod stand off to the side
The angle should focus closely on the guests, while capturing just the end of the arm and camera when in an extended position
Overhead: This iPhone can be mounted to the overhead Nanlite tripod stand directly behind the Glambot®
This angle should capture the overall space and setup, showing off the Glambot® Motion Controls screen at the bottom of the frame
Once everything is set up, clip the microphone to the director and run a test session to ensure proper angles and audio levels. Once the event is live, start all of the iPhones and let them record for the entire duration of the event. This is the easiest way to line them all up and cut where needed in post production.
Note that while two microphones can be connected to one receiver, it is recommended to run only one microphone to avoid unwanted audio in the mix.
