1. Overhead Rig Construction

2. Three-Camera Synchronization

• Set all cameras to exact same frame rate (29.97fps for US, 25fps for EU)

• Clap once loudly at start of each take for audio sync reference

• Record audio on all cameras simultaneously

• Timecode sync (professional): Use Tentacle Sync devices on each camera

3. Lighting Layout

Recording Process

Opening Shot (0-10 seconds)

• Camera 1: Medium shot of presenter holding product

• Camera 2: Begin overhead product rotation

• Audio: "Today we're looking at the [product name]..."

• Action: Hold product toward camera, rotate slowly

Teardown Sequence

• Switch to overhead camera for unboxing

• Use macro lens for component close-ups (f/5.6 for deeper DOF)

• Rule of thumb: Hold each static shot for 12 seconds minimum

• Pacing: 3-5 cuts per minute, each shot 8-12 seconds

Node 02: Primaries + RGB Mixer
   Lift: Y: 0.02 / Hue: -1.5
   Gamma: Y: 0.95 / Hue: -0.5
   Gain: Y: 1.08 / Hue: +0.3
   RGB Mixer: Reduce Blue in Red channel by -10

Node 03: Window + Sharpen
   Circular window on product
   Sharpness: 30 (Radius: 0.5)
   Mid/Detail: +15

Node 04: LUT + Glow

   Glow: 0.02 (Threshold: 0.6)

Multi-Cam Editing

1. In Media Pool, select all 3 camera clips → Right-click → Create New MultiCam Clip

2. Sync using Audio (most reliable method)

3. On Edit page, select clip → Viewer → Multicam → Enable

4. Use number keys 1-3 to switch angles in real-time while playing

5. Fine-tune cut points with Roll tool (T key)

On-Screen Annotations

// After Effects → Export as .mogrt for Premiere
1. Create 1920x1080 composition
2. Add shape layer (rounded rectangle, 12px radius)
3. Fill: Yellow #FFCC00, 90% opacity
4. Animate Position: 0→15 frames with "Easy Ease Out"
5. Add text layer, parent to shape
6. Export via "Export Motion Graphics Template"

In Premiere Pro:

• Import .mogrt file into Essential Graphics panel

• Drag to timeline above footage

• Edit text and position as needed
