Client: Habla con Daria, a Barcelona podcast and YouTube channel about the Spanish language and life in the city
Episode: 013 Barcelona y 2025, with sommelier Nika Shevela
Format: live podcast recorded in front of an audience, about 1 hour 15 minutes
Location: Librería Documenta, a bookshop in Barcelona
Setup: three cameras, stage lighting, separate microphones for both speakers
My role: on-location filming, light and sound; the edit was done by the client’s team
Daria Gavrilova and Nika Shevela look back at Barcelona’s 2025, from Rosalía’s LUX to Carla Simón’s Romería, and pair each topic with a wine. The episode was recorded live: the audience sat right in front of the armchairs, and glasses were topped up during the talk.
A live show leaves no room for retakes. The light had to work in a small bookshop full of people and posters, the microphones had to keep the voices clean over the room, and the three cameras ran for the whole evening without a stop: a wide shot with the audience in the foreground and a close-up of each speaker.
