How we built a streamlined recording and streaming setup for DF Direct

Earlier this year, we started DF Direct Weekly – initially envisaged as a way to cover more topics and to do so in a way that wouldn't require massive production values.

At the same time, we were also looking at ways to more easily deliver higher quality filmed material in a 'work from home' environment, where space is at a premium and where time is of the essence.
