EPISODIC VIDEO PRODUCTION

AT HOME
Building a repeatable production workflow that keeps each episode focused without leaving important details behind.
This project was built around producing a consistent series of concise episodes from conversations that still needed to communicate a complete set of key points.
Grindstone Creative handled the production environment from lighting the set through multi-camera coverage. Each episode used two to three cameras, allowing the conversation to remain the backbone of the piece while additional angles and detail coverage could be used to show the specific items, processes, or features being discussed.
The footage was then shaped in post into a consistent episodic format through editing, pacing, supporting detail shots, graphics where needed, audio finishing, and delivery. The goal throughout the series was the same: make each episode easy to follow, visually complete, and concise enough to hold attention.

ONE STORY, DIFFERENT FORMATS
This additional example shows how material from the project can be adapted for different viewing formats. It is a useful demonstration of the flexibility of the production workflow, but the core of the project remains the consistent episodic series.
