I have a client who is looking to do weekly 6-10 minute videos for his
business (in an office or home office location) and I'm trying to find
the most efficient way of trying to accomplish this.
The first issue I have is he is doing this in New York and I am not,
so the ability to drag, drop and upload the videos to me is very
important,
The second is, he's not exactly the most tech-savvy, but he is
trainable and willing to commit.
The third is what I do is totally Mac based and he uses a PC -
although he needs to upgrade and is willing to consider something like
an Intel G5 iMac.
Here are is a list of hardware or components I believe we need:
- HD Camera (with media to be edited in Avid Media Composer 5 or Final
Cut Studio)
- Lav mic
- Small Tele-prompter
- Computer for the above for prompter and video recording/uploading to
the web
- And possibly basic lighting to compensate for bad office lighting or
being backlit by office/skyline window backlight.
I'm looking at everything from an iMac G5 with iSight technology and
an external mic (which I think would be slightly problematic because
of things like tele-prompter placement, etc); to a basic HD camera
from Canon or Panasonic (with drag and drop media for uploading to the
internet), an external prompter and lav mic; to possibly having a set
up with an iPad and appropriate technology for video, audio and
prompter.
There are many ways to go but reasonably priced and easy to use, good
looking/sounding video & audio technology with drag & drop media; as
well as an easy to use tele- prompter is what I'm looking for.
Any thoughtful recommendations would be appreciated.
