Recording Guidelines

Video length

We found that the sweet spot for a heads-up session is 1h - 1:30h, after the 10th minute players forget about the video, relax and just play their game. That's where best content comes out of.

Discussions

World Series of Poker is boring right? Viewers don't watch because of the game they watch because of the characters, we are encouraging bringing topics and have regular conversation as part of the game.

Video Equipment

All you need to record professional like poker content, no worries just a phone will do if you are getting started

Main Camera

We use Sony ZVE-10 for recording our videos since it's the most recommendet budget option for shooting a podcast which fits grate to the heads up format, using a phone for recording the video will also get the job done

Audio

For capturing better audio we recommend using wireless microphones, as Rode Wireless easy to get started and good price for the value, audio from the phone will still get the job done but we don't recommend it

Players Camera

In order to capture player's cards we need to place a camera under each player, as budget option we recommend using webcameras (Be aware of the cables) For portable option we recommend using action camera as GoPro as end option 2 phones on a stand will still do

Lightling

Good Lightling is crussial for capturing proffesional quality content, we use 2x Quadralite Thea 450 LED Panel Kits for our videos

What we need

Once you shoot your content, you need to share the files via Dropbox so we can start with the editting process

• Main Camera Source - Capturing both players
• 2x Camera Sources for each player cards
