What does “video production” actually mean… in the real world?
In this special Production Month episode of The Flow, Katie and Doc are joined by Fuljens Henry to break down what it really takes to produce a live show—from planning and setup to problem-solving in high-stakes environments.
Fresh off producing large-scale events like the National A Cappella and Choral Convention (NACC) and the Gathering of Nations, Fuljens shares what goes into creating a seamless experience for both in-person audiences and live viewers.
Spoiler: it’s not about the gear.
It’s about:
- Thinking like a producer (not just hitting record)
- Planning for what will go wrong
- Creating an experience—not just a video
- Making fast decisions under pressure
- Using what you have (and knowing why it matters)
Whether you’re producing live events, recording a podcast, or streaming from your home studio, this episode will change how you think about “production.”
