Recording the podcast will be with 2 cameras, maybe 3, it will be shot using 2 of my old SD cameras that have been gathering dust. The switcher will be provided by him, for now SD quality is fine for the podcast.
Client is a local celebrity and all songs performed during his shows are written by him, so copyright wont be an issue. Shows will be shot and uploaded in HD, captured with 2 or 3 cameras and multicam edited in Sony Vegas. Compensation for shows shot locally will be what we agree on to work for him, bigger shows and concerts (2 already booked) I will be payed my regular rate.
you do bring up some valid concerns with liability.
