The two days

Thursday 15 October · Trompenburgstraat 2c · 08:00 to 18:00 · V2

Two days, six explainers, three on each day. We need each speaker for about ninety minutes and only for their own block: twenty minutes to settle in, forty-five for the recording with room to start a sentence again, and twenty for a portrait. Everything else on both days is ours. Alex records two of the six, so he is here longer than the others.

TimeWhat happensWho we need

08:0090 min Arrival and set-upUnloading, walking the space and dressing the set. We start early so nothing has to be rushed later.

09:3030 min Testing with our own crewLight, sound, background and a test recording we review together. We do this before anyone sits down, so no one ever waits.

10:0020 min Bastiaan gets readyShort catch-up, microphone on, quick test. We talk a little before we roll, so the first answer is not the first time he hears the question. Bastiaan

10:2045 min Explainer, BastiaanSeveral takes per question. Room to start a sentence again without it feeling rushed. Bastiaan

11:0520 min Portrait and b-roll, BastiaanAfter the recording, not before. We would rather leave the set exactly as we built it until the explainer is done, and only then take the camera off the tripod for a few stills and a short moving portrait. Bastiaan

11:2515 min Changing over to the next speakerThe set stays where it is. The framing follows the next person, we can pick a different stool where one is available, and if the daylight has changed we adjust the angle a little with it. Small adjustments, so the episodes do not read as one frame repeated.

11:4020 min Alex gets readySame routine as Bastiaan. Alex

12:0045 min Explainer, Alex, first of two Alex

12:4510 min A short resetWater, a moment off camera, and we reset the questions. The second recording should not run straight on from the first. Alex

12:5545 min Explainer, Alex, second of two Alex

13:4020 min Portrait and b-roll, Alex Alex

14:0045 min LunchBoth speakers are done by two, as agreed.

14:4575 min Interior b-rollMarktlink at work: the building, the floors, the workplace and the culture, plus details for the explainers.

16:0045 min A moment with colleaguesThe town hall is off, so we are looking for an alternative with a few colleagues. Fifteen minutes is enough, and we film from a distance. tbc

16:4540 min Exterior b-rollFacade, surroundings and the view in late light. Exact shots to be decided.

17:2515 min How today wentA quarter of an hour with you before we leave. Did the order work, the explainer first and the portrait after, and was ninety minutes right for each speaker? Whatever needs to change, we change in tomorrow’s schedule the same evening. Marktlink

17:4020 min Wrap, and ready for tomorrowWe pack the cameras and make the backup here in the office. The rest stays standing overnight. If we decided to move to another spot on Friday, we carry over what we can this evening.

18:00 Departure

Friday 16 October Trompenburgstraat 2c · 08:30 to 18:00

TimeWhat happensWho we need

08:3060 min Arrival and set-upShorter than Thursday. Everything stayed in the building overnight and the cameras are already standing where we need them today, so this is switching on and checking.

09:3030 min Testing with our own crewSame checks as Thursday. The set is already dialled in, so this is mostly confirming that nothing shifted overnight.

10:0020 min Wouter gets readyHead of investments. Short catch-up, microphone on, quick test. We put him first because the set is already dialled in from Thursday, so the slot is the least likely to shift. Wouter

10:2045 min Explainer, WouterSeveral takes per question, with room to start a sentence again. Wouter

11:0515 min Portrait and b-roll, WouterAfter the recording, so the set stays as it is until the explainer is done. A little shorter than the others, because Kyley is in at half past. Wouter

11:2010 min Changing over to the next speakerThe set stays where it is. The framing follows the next person, we can pick a different stool where one is available, and if the daylight has changed we adjust the angle a little with it. Small adjustments, so the episodes do not read as one frame repeated.

11:3020 min Kyley gets readySame routine. Kyley

11:5045 min Explainer, Kyley Kyley

12:3520 min Portrait and b-roll, Kyley Kyley

12:5550 min LunchThe canteen fills up around this time, so we may pick up a few shots there before we sit down ourselves.

13:4520 min Bouke Marsman gets readyManaging partner, and the last of the two days. Bouke

14:0545 min Explainer, Bouke Bouke

14:5025 min Portrait and b-roll, BoukeA little longer than the others, because there is nobody waiting after him. We are finished with him at 15:15, as agreed. Bouke

15:1575 min Interior b-roll, other floors and colleaguesDifferent parts of the building than Thursday, so the two days do not bring back the same footage. We would also like a few colleagues in shot, the ones we run into rather than anyone booked in advance. A few seconds each, no questions and nothing to prepare. That unplanned part is where the warmth in these films comes from, and on a quiet Friday most people mind it far less.

16:3030 min Exterior and surroundings

17:0015 min Wrapping up togetherA quarter of an hour at the end of the two days, to go through what we have and what happens next on our side. Marktlink

17:1530 min Taking down the setEverything out, the space back the way we found it. Nobody from your side needed for this.

17:4515 min Backups and leaving things tidyWe make the backup here before we leave, so nothing travels on a single drive.

18:00 Departure
