I know I might be in the minority of hardcore camera nerds here, but wanted to bring attention to a term you may see thrown around with new cameras that are hitting the market, especially with the Panasonic S5 IIX hitting the streets now. The term "Open Gate" dates back to motion picture film cameras that were able to shoot directly to the stock, or in modern digital terms, use the camera's entire sensor to record the video signal, rather than cropping the image. What does this mean for us content creators? The ability to shoot both vertical and horizontal videos at the same time with a single setup! This past month I found a beautiful example from the floor of NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) where two of my favorite creators were shooting 6k resolution video in vertically and repurposed that content to deliver a 4k horizontal. Here's a great video they made on how they pulled this off. https://youtu.be/kTmhZ2Tdy9w What do you need to know? It requires some gear; they explain what they used - but I've been doing something similar with 4k shooting to 1080p upload. It just requires you to know how to frame your image and repurpose these shoots in post. What are your thoughts, and if you would, hit like on this if you're a camera nerd (like me) and want more content like that here?

What is the best way to setup camera and use a teleprompting feature, so that it´s easier to keep looking in the camera? Would love to see some example setups and hear about what hardware people are using to record.

Take a look at AutoPod.fm a tool specifically designed for automated editing for video podcasts and creating social media clips. This came across my FYP on TikTok, and at the price point, they're asking we give it a go on a trial base here at our studio. I will report back our findings as things develop. Link to the TT -- seems they launched in the last day or so.

What kind of tech stack do you use to record raw videos? It seems like an iPhone might do the track to begin. Any other favorite ring lights or limecube products?
