Three executive interviews in one day
Presented by Ruben Garcia, founder and executive producer of Media Bar Productions in San Antonio, Texas.
I'm Ruben Garcia, founder of Media Bar Productions. This is my digital avatar, but the guidance comes directly from my production experience.
Can you film three executive interviews in one day?
Usually yes, if the production is carefully planned and everyone is filming at the same location.
We typically need time to load in, test lighting and audio, prepare each executive, and capture supporting footage.
The biggest risks are late schedules, noisy offices, room changes, and trying to create a completely different setup for every interview.
A practical schedule gives each executive a reserved interview window, includes transition time, and protects part of the day for workplace footage and establishing shots.
If the interviews require multiple locations, teleprompters, extensive scripting, or major lighting changes, a second filming day may be the better decision.
Good preparation protects both the executive's time and the quality of the final story.
