These three cameras handle the bulk of the filming: 1. Interview while painting. 2. Location filming. 3. Painting progress. 4. 2nd interview. All fully stabilized and 4k video ready to go. Even filming in log color format for better color grading later.

Last thing is a cheap $9 TRS splitter because the Wireless Go is a standard mono signal so you can run this to your camera’s stereo input and then add a second mic. In my case I might use the uni lapel mic for my talking, and then the RODE lapel for the environmental sound.pic.twitter.com/kBvi7fRx9M

The *only* thing I’m missing from this setup is a tiny action cam for recorsing my paint mixing. I have a Polaroid Cube but it’s $20 and definitely worth $20. A GoPro is just too big but it’ll be my first thing to try. I ordered a tiny FPB cam that RC racers use next.

The reason for a “mixing cam” is when you paint about 50% of the action is down on the palette where you mix the paint. Without it there’s just whole minutes of dead air of a half finishe painting. Throw in mixing and you’ve got almost constant action.

Lastly, I was previously using a whole camera to film the scene. This turned out to be stupid because the scene didn’t really change but I’d have 2-3hours of footage of the same damn spot when I could just film for 20 minutes and splice in that. That cuts out one camera.

So now instead of wasting a camera on the scene I use the camera to film myself talking since watching me make faces and cuss while I’m painting is a good part of the show.

Now my setup is: 1. DJI Osmo for the painting. 2. Olympus for 20 minutes while I setup for the scene. 3. Olympus then for interview. 4. Tiny action cam or GoPro for the mixing. 5. Wireless Go split on the Olympus for audio. 6. Unidir lapel on me. 7. RODE lapel on splitter.
