The crew utilized one large conference room space to set up both the 6 person discussion and a one on one scenario making for greater efficiency in the one day shoot.  All the equipment was kept in one room minimizing the amount of time it took to re-set everything for the two scenes.  Also the use of fluorescent lighting eliminates the worry of high powered lighting tripping circuit breakers.

All those video and audio cables coming from the cameras feed two virtual video recorders in perfect synchronization allowing for easier editing later.

All video and audio was fed to two virtual video recorders allowing very high quality video recording and easy synchronization of the two cameras during the editing process.  Ever the “gadget guru” Marion had clips, ties, straps and every other device to hold microphones, lights and even cables cleanly in place.

Marion is a perfectionist at keeping his cables and his equipment clean.

All in all it was a very successful and very efficient day.  The IAC team provided excellent direction to ensure the video elements will work seamlessly in the interactive final training product.  The SACS COC team was an absolute blast to work with, they had us in stitches in between takes.  Now it’s on to Post Production and working closely with IAC to bring all the elements to life in a very large interactive training product.
