Equipment Needed:
Layout:
All BTS should be filmed in LANDSCAPE. This gives room for flexibilty when editing them all together.
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 (optional with 3rd Nanlite) or Second Guest Angle: This iPhone can be mounted to the overhead Nanlite tripod stand directly behind the Glambot® if applicable. If only using two nanlites, mount this iPhone to the other nanlite for a second guest angle.
The overhead angle should capture the overall space and setup, showing off the Glambot® Motion Controls screen at the bottom of the frame
A second guest angle should focus on the guests, while capturing the end of the arm and camera when in an extended position
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.
Audio Setup:
Connect the receiver to the iPhone that will be the director cam using the included Røde lightning to usb-c cable.
Make sure the receiver is in SPLIT mode. To do this, press and hold the two buttons on the bottom of the receiver, then select split mode.
Turn on the mic's and make sure they're connected and audio is coming through
Take a short test video while standing from a distance and make sure the audio is coming through the Røde mic's, not the iPhone mic.
