Production Process
Recording in the studio or at your computer allows for a controlled environment, but it misses one of the great advantages of utilizing video for teaching: including events, environments and interactions from outside the classroom.
In theory, any video done in the studio can be done on location, but in practice, that can require more resources and logistical planning, so it makes sense to conduct on-site recordings when the environment specifically adds to the learning objectives. This may include remote interviews with subjects where they work, site visits and tours, and documenting time-specific events, among other situations.

Planning for on-site recordings diverges significantly from those done in the studio. Because remote locations are inherently less predictable, more emphasis is placed on logistics: securing access, obtaining permissions from participants, coordinating travel, etc. Instead of full scripts, you may work with a planned list of things you want to document. Clear learning objectives must still be defined, as they inform all subsequent decisions about what content to capture.

Production for on-site recordings is usually time-constrained, and a member of the LSL Media Team will be available to help manage progress, keep track of what material needs to be recorded, consult about the best approach for footage gathering and help you visualize how the final product will come together. As a faculty member, you may have to fill several roles depending on the nature of the video: presenter, interviewer, liaison with the location, or subject matter expert.

Because they are usually less scripted, on-site recordings almost always involve extensive editing to assemble the footage gathered on the day. LSL's teams will provide editing services, but they will need your feedback on the video to ensure it communicates all that is needed.
