FacFacebookGear Test: Make a Live TV Video Studio with Three iPhones and an iPad https://t.co/p8XbWopebG— #MoJo (@robbmontgomery) May 2, 2017
SMART FILM SCHOOL: At the heart of the system is an iPad Pro running the Live: Air app.
Caution. This ‘free’ app features several expensive in-app purchases for unlocking advanced features. (I paid $49.99 to remove the Teradek
The studio cameras are iPhones that have been retired from #MOJO field work. Camera One is an iPhone 6+ that made MOJO reports from over 20 countries over two years. I attached a small lens from Olloclip to frame the shot for a presenter.
Camera Two is my current #Mojo cam – an iPhone 6S+ – placed into an Osmo Mobile
The iPhone 4s in the teleprompter was rescued from the disabled list to pair up with the $120 Parrot teleprompter
This gear – plus a versatile studio design – allows me to quickly produce event videos for Webinars, Live Shows for social streams, and video tutorials for e-learning courses.
Bonus: It’s awesome for making Skype calls to your mom.
Now that we have built this studio from top to bottom and tested it with three live platforms, I plan to film a comprehensive course for the Smart Film School.
Those tutorials will go into more details and highlight all the working parts of building a low-cost video studio that delivers high-end results without requiring a big crew or typical TV budget.
Here is the setup I use.
 |
| Add iPhone cameras as sources in the app. |
 |
| The iPhone is now a live video camera source. |
 |
| The switching app running on a iPad Pro. All shots, segments, show graphics, text overlays and logos are pre-loaded before the show starts. |
 |
| Set the video file to ‘Stop when done’ to prevent pre-recorded clips from looping. |
 |
| Set up the livestream for your Facebook page. |
 |
| Ta da! We are live on our Facebook page.
Happy Filming! |
