Gary – excellent work. Great site. Very informative. Curious – do you have a day gig, or is this a full time job for you? Thanks, Jim C

The file shouldn’t be any significant amount larger, as the background is not moving so compression should take care of it from frame to frame. You could do a test. I’ll bet it is less than 1% larger with a patterned background.

Hey Gary,

Just found this post on a video forum in triiibes, in which I’m newly a member!? Anyway, I have this stored in my itunes and watching it again for the 5-6 time I was wonder: if I shoot with a studio background vs plain as you and some others do, will the result be a larger file, and if so does it affect download times?

I haven’t written for awhile as I don’t want to become a nudge, but anyway, I hope the book is doing well and have a Happy Holiday Season – Happy Hanukkah.

See episode 265 for details on how I make the show. I don’t use anything special for the lighting — basic 3-point lighting, but standard high-wattage bulbs, nothing fancy. The backdrop is photographer’s muslin.

Hi Gary

Very useful video.

I was also wondering if you could list what you use for your video lighting and backdrop.

Thanks.

Gary,

You, by far have the best podcast production. I’ve had 50 or 60 subscriptions through itunes. Your content is great and I look forward to each episode.

This particular episode is very helpful, I plan to venture into podcasting. I currently multitrack audio on my Mac pro with Logic 8. If you ever need jingles, or music of any type, I’d love to help out. You can see my work at:

All the best,

Thanks. But that product is really more for universities and companies where they need to have various people (teachers, presenters) be able to easily record and publish. It is not something I need and it would only get in the way of what I am doing,

Your podcasts are great Gary. I’ve nothing to say about the production quality nor the contents. But maybe you should have a look at the Podcast Producer service and see if it can simplify your software processes !?

This is included by Apple for free inside Mac Os X server since Leopard. I know it is for entities who are publishing many different podcasts, usually made by many different people. But I think this is a great one-stop shop product for producing, managing and distributing podcasts.

HTH !
