    Solid tips and demonstrations of your examples. What I also liked was the avoidance of cliché buzz words and your lighting doesn't look contrived/overly dramatic. I'm preparing my thoughts for a two person mini documentary that I'm sure will be recorded in a home where I can't manipulate much, but I would like to apply my soft boxes and more than one camera so this all helps.

    Great video. I love your content and your presentation style. Not to sound like an ass, but two things I learned the hard way when doing 2 camera interview/talking head shoots: Number one is kinda subjective, but I always try to stick to the 30 degree rule (no more than 30 degrees between the two cameras) to keep separation down. Too much separation can start to feel disjointed. Two, and this one bit me hard (particularly on ladies who want to minimize their nose size) do not let the nose break the line of the cheek on your side angle. Moving your side camera closer to your A camera (< 30 degrees) will keep the nose from silhouetting beyond the line of the cheek. Also, I curious why you don't use the ImagingEdge app for monitoring? I've noticed in several videos that you're employing a transmitter. By and large the ImagingEdge app sucks, but it works well for monitoring and start/stop of recording. Sorry my first comment was so long (and nit picky) I really do love your content - keep 'em coming!

    Yeah I may have not used the best camera placements, agreed. I don’t do dual camera shoots very often so this was an experiment. I also realized it’s much less intuitive to set up a shoot like this when I’m alone. I loathe the imaging edge app for many reasons, especially the way it disconnects whenever I put my phone to sleep.

    Premiere does have it - and the process in the UI is very similar. I used to use Premiere but switched to Resolve as I found it seemed to do a better job with the sync, and also has a way to auto colour match the clips, which while not perfect can act as a good starting point and save time.

    It’s very reliable with the latest firmware. Fast connection, low latency. Works well across a room or a basketball court, but not through multiple walls or across city blocks.The battery life sucks, it’s only about 40 minutes. Resolution on a 5” phone isn’t sharp enough to judge focus but it has a punch-in assist.
