Which is the best video interview style?
I’ve used several different ways to record video interviews on a shoe-string hacker’s budget. I don’t have names for these video styles, maybe some video producer can reply with what they are called. Now, which technique do you think is best?
- Pastor Kevin Doi (Epic Church) was recorded via a FlipCam fixed on a table-top tripod.
- Pastor Seth Kim (Harvest Mission Community Church) was recorded on a Skype call via Pamela, combined with photo slide show in Windows Movie Maker:
- Pastor David Kim (The Garden) was recorded via a Logitech QuickCam clipped on top a laptop screen with a Blue Snowflake USB microphone:
- Pastor Yun Choi (New Life Community Church) was recorded via a Skype video call, with audio recorded using Pamela, and video recorded using CamStudio, combined using Windows Media Maker:
- Pastor Brad Bell of The Well was recorded via this FlipCam being dynamically held by a 3rd person, in this case, my 12-year-old son:
in terms of technical quality, the order from best to worst: 1. 5. 3. 2. 4.
stylistically, i think 1 is the best; but 5 is a close second.
