      I prefer the term "clever Susan" because she wasn't lazy, she was clever. If a man had invented it, they'd've called it "clever Steven."

    As someone who spent years in broadcast TV, I was recently appreciating how it was clear that you were shooting on one camera, but taking the time to shoot and edit as if it was a multi-camera studio. I loved the, "news caster looks from Camera 1 to Camera 2" shot a few weeks ago. Great stuff, Crafsman.

    Great video to show the workflow, time and effort that goes into a Crafsman episode. I'm proud to be a Patreon supporter that helps to give you time off from work to create and also allows you purchase things like that second awesome camera. That will be a time saver for sure! Have a great week Crafsman and family.
