Podcast filming, done properly

What you get

One conversation, filmed so nobody thinks about the cameras.

Most podcast recordings go wrong in the same two places: sound treated as an afterthought, and one camera grinding through a 90 minute conversation from a single angle. Half a day fixes both.

The session

A 60 or 90 minute recording, filmed from multiple angles so the edit can cut the way people actually talk.

The edit

A finished podcast video up to an hour long, delivered ready to publish.

The raw footage

Every frame from every camera, handed over for your team to cut into clips.

The sound

A microphone per speaker, recorded separately from the cameras, so voices stay clean even when the room has plans of its own.

The setup

The set arrives with Kevan.

Cinema cameras, a microphone per speaker, lighting built for the room. Everything is up, tested and rolling before you sit down.

Three cinema-grade camerasA Canon C200 cinema camera as the A-camera, with a Canon R5 Mark II and Canon R3 covering the other angles.
Canon L-series prime lensesThe most pristine image the room allows, on every angle.
Broadcast-quality soundShure SM7B podcast microphones, with Sennheiser, Rode and DJI options from lav to shotgun. Every voice recorded separately from the cameras.
Lighting to suit the roomA full studio setup or a lightweight flexible rig, both built for filming on location.
C-stands, booms and the restWhatever the environment and the end product require. Kevan builds early; your first sight of the set is the finished one.

The process

Three steps. Yours is the middle one.

Before

A short call about the conversation you want, and a check on the venue so the day holds no surprises.

On the day

Kevan arrives early, builds the set, checks sound and light, and rolls. You talk to your guest. That's the whole job.

After

The edit arrives ready to publish, with the raw footage alongside it for your social clips.

The venue changes; the standard travels.

The work

Sets built in studios, offices and front rooms.

Podcast desks, interviews and brand films, built around whatever room the day gives us.

Behind the camera

Kevan Smith

Kevan started his working life in photography and has spent twelve years filming founders: podcasts, interviews and brand films for B2B businesses. Trained at the London Film Academy.

The cameras are the easy part. The job is making two people forget they're there.

So the conversation you publish sounds like the one you actually had.

Kevan laughing with a client at the end of a shoot, camera in hand, both smiling at the lens — End of a shoot day with a client.

People arrive at these sessions nervous about being on camera. They leave asking when the next one is. That shift is the product; the footage is the proof of it.

A note on availability

Filming days are reserved for previous clients.

Epiphany Content's main work is building content systems for founder-led businesses, so one-off filming days stay off the menu for new enquiries. For people we've worked with before, the door stays open. That's why this page exists.

Ready when you are.

Tell Kevan the date you have in mind and the venue you're thinking of.
