Shooting the Video Demo Reel

UI Frozen - Check
Bug Free - Check
Music Polished - Check

Today we're shooting the demo videos to be featured on the StealthBee.com web site. We're aiming to have a set of videos that will, of course, show the product in all its glory. We're going to be shooting in high definition, and while we were originally pondering using the iPhone 4, we're opting to use a camera with better optics and greater flexibility.

These things always seem really straightforward on paper. You construct your shot list, set up the camera and props, and work through the list, right? Well experience knows that there will be a series of technical issues to overcome before a single frame is shot. Are there unwanted reflections? Is the sound right? Is the camera picking up any artifacts? Where's the coffee?

Once shot list has been completed, there's four times the amount of effort in post-production. Should be fun.
