Behind the Scenes: Filming a Podcast with Cinelease and Zello

We recently had the opportunity to film a dynamic podcast featuring the CEOs of Cinelease and Zello, filmed on location at the Cinelease warehouse in Los Angeles. This project was the perfect blend of professional storytelling, high-end production, and thoughtful design.

The Setting: A Warehouse Turned Stage

Rather than hiding the warehouse environment, we embraced it. The backdrop featured Cinelease’s impressive inventory of equipment neatly organized on pallet racks, adding both authenticity and scale to the conversation. To balance the industrial feel, there was an elegant set in the foreground creating a striking contrast that elevated the entire visual atmosphere.

A Multi-Camera Experience

To ensure the conversation was captured from every angle, we deployed a four-camera setup. This gave us the ability to highlight reactions, switch perspectives seamlessly, and keep the energy of the conversation engaging for viewers.

Live Switching in Real Time

One of the most exciting elements of this production was our live switching workflow. As the podcast was being filmed, our team actively switched between camera angles, building the edit in real time. This gave the client immediate visibility into how the final product would look—saving time in post-production and ensuring that the creative vision was aligned from the start.

A Conversation with Impact

The collaboration between Cinelease and Zello represents innovation and leadership in their industries, and our goal was to reflect that in every frame. By pairing a visually compelling environment with polished production techniques, the final product highlights both the strength of their conversation and the quality of the filmmaking behind it.
