Avalaunch: a video podcast built to run
A recurring video podcast, set up so episodes can be produced on a schedule rather than as individual projects.

The brief
A podcast only works if it keeps coming out. Most video podcasts die not because the content failed but because each episode was treated as a production, and productions are exhausting.
So the first job is not filming, it is design. One room, one lighting set-up, one camera plan, one graphics package, one delivery format. Once that exists, an episode is a booking rather than a project.
Multi-camera coverage is what makes the edit survivable. Two or more angles means a pause, a stumble or a question that landed badly can be cut without the join showing, which matters far more in long-form than in a scripted piece.
Every episode delivers as the full conversation plus short clips, because the clips are what bring people to the conversation.
How this work gets made
Design it once
Room, lighting, cameras, graphics and delivery decided at the start. After that an episode is a booking.
Multi-camera always
Two or more angles so the edit can cut anything without the join showing.
Clips ship with the episode
Short cuts are what drive discovery. They come from the same session, not a later job.
Batch the recording
Several episodes in a day is the difference between a series that runs and one that stops.
Questions about this work
How many episodes can you record in a day?
Two to four, depending on length and guest availability. Batching is what keeps a series alive.
Do you handle the clips?
Yes, as part of the episode delivery.
What does a video podcast cost?
It depends on episode count and cadence. There is a breakdown on the video podcast cost page.
