Shooting Spitballs
Shooting Spitballs is the go-to podcast for new and emerging video shooters seeking practical, real-world advice on tackling common video production scenarios.
Each week, we bring two experienced video professionals into the studio for an in-depth discussion on specific challenges you’re likely to face on set. To keep things interesting, we also throw in a few unexpected curveballs—red herrings designed to test how they’d handle real-life mishaps.
You’ll hear expert tips, creative solutions, and stories from the front lines—so you’re better prepared when it’s your turn behind the camera.
