Podcast Video — Multi-Camera Edit Direction

Design a video podcast production.

**Format**: [solo / two-person interview / panel of 3-4 / remote guests]
**Platform**: [YouTube / Spotify Video / both]
**Duration**: [30 / 45 / 60 / 90 minutes]
**Vibe**: [professional studio / casual / dark moody / bright colorful]
**Budget**: [minimal / mid / professional]

## Camera Setup:

### For Two-Person Interview:
- **Camera 1**: Wide shot — both people in frame (master shot)
- **Camera 2**: Close-up on host (slightly off-center, looking toward guest)
- **Camera 3**: Close-up on guest (slightly off-center, looking toward host)
- **Camera 4** (optional): Detail/cutaway (hands, products, reaction shots)

### Switching Pattern:
- Default: wide shot during normal conversation
- Cut to close-up of whoever is speaking (after 5-8 seconds, not immediately)
- Return to wide for back-and-forth exchanges
- Close-up on listener for reaction shots (nodding, laughing)
- Cut to graphics/images when referencing something visual

## Visual Elements:
- **Intro animation**: 5-10 second branded intro
- **Lower thirds**: guest name + title (appear at first introduction)
- **Topic cards**: full-screen title card between major segments
- **Quote callouts**: pull best quotes as text overlay
- **Progress bar**: subtle indicator of episode progress
- **Waveform visualizer**: for audio-only moments or B-roll cuts

## Set Design:
- Background: [bookshelves / LED panels / brand colors / plants / neon sign]
- Lighting: key light per person + hair light + background lighting
- Sound treatment: acoustic panels, close-mic technique
- Table: [if visible — what's on it: mugs, laptop, notepad]

## Clips for Social:
During edit, flag moments for:
- 60-second highlight clips (most quotable moments)
- 15-second quote cards (text on screen with audio)
- Thumbnail-worthy reaction faces
