Lifting the Lid Podcast
Lifting the Lid is a podcast from funeral director, G Seller, as they aim to ‘lift the lid’ on the funeral industry and demystify the industry. You can find the entire series on YouTube here.
Lifting the Lid is a Crystal Production Group production, but we work very closely with them to deliver the podcast to the client, providing a lot of the gear and often vision mixing each episode (including the one above.) Generally the podcast uses ‘locked off’ static cameras, but some episodes with a third guest or in other circumstances, we have also worked as a camera operator during this podcast.
This particular episode also highlights the work of our sub- brand, midstream.live, who offer funeral livestreaming services. Check them out here!
