In this episode of The Shot Callers Podcast, we’re talking about the “coverage trap” — the habit of over-shooting scenes from every angle just to “get it in post.” We break down the difference between shooting with intention vs. overshooting for safety, how it affects storytelling, your editor, your actors, and your budget. Learn how to design your shots like a director — not a camera operator.
