Yeah setting up lights and a few cameras isn’t that hard, not sure why they are on such a high horse about their production level. It’s a fucking recorded show, when they do it live at that level then I’ll be impressed.
HA, They discussed earlier in the episode how much work Rog & Roberts put into both shows. I'm sure most of the work is editing, not setting up the lights. It's not a fucking competition. I'll be impressed when the Slap Pals Questions thing hits 20 episodes.
I'm pretty sure they spend at least 2 hours setting up for each episode between cameras, microphones, lighting and video switching. All rightful bashing aside, it's a pretty clean setup. I think the editing may be the easiest part of the entire gig.
Yes ofcourse they have a very clean set up, it looks and sounds extremely professional. They kill it and they have their work flow down so it involves less problem solving and more just the time consuming setups and tedious editing. But that doesnt warrant saying youre above low production projects because of that.
look at bobshirt interviews... they are really great, but no one complains about them having only one camera, filming outside with tons of ambient noise, and they leave the camera's autofocus on making the picture bounce between being sharp or totally blurry. Along with the constant camera shake or movement. (bobby p episodes comes to mind)
that being said i love those interviews because they show visuals related to what they are talking about and they get great people on there telling great stories in a very casual environment.
With that ^ im trying to point out that
gear/setup isnt always important, you can take a great photo with a disposable camera. its the content that matters.Pals questions is done for fun (although editing from the other side of the country isnt really that fun), with no budget, low production, and no desire to turn into another generic youtube channel asking for donations/patrons and monetizing the content. and im cool with that.
-anyways sorry for the word salad.
shalom.
