Re: Two-camera teaching video suggestions needed

First of all, this is shot very well. The framing is perfect, great colors and depth of field... The problem is that it is a jump cut. You are cutting from (what appears to be) the same angle from close to wide. Also, if you are having the subject talk to the camera it is almost like a POV. I would pick one shot or the other and use a dip to black if he changes subject. OR you could have him talking to you instead of the camera: put one camera to the left and one to the right (you in between), one close-up and one medium. This would probably make him a little less "intense".
