COVID-19 Note: Casey and Ted both tested negative prior shooting this episode. Our two camera operators wore masks and face masks to prevent any additional exposure. If you are following any of these steps though, we can't emphasize it enough: please be safe and responsible.

Cinematographer Casey McBeath returns to help us create the iconic overhead shot seen in product videos, thumbnails and more! We also talk about how you can achieve this from a super budget friendly option on a phone to using a high end Hollywood cinema camera.
