5. Lights, Camera, Read (Part 5 of 34)

Stan, Jared, and Matthew sit across from each other in the Brothers Young Studio. 

"So, you want to do a YouTube show where you just read children's books?" Matthew asks. 

"I need a way to keep reaching out to kids while the world is shut down," Stan replies.

After some additional discussion, the three agree to start a channel called Stories with Stan. The premise is simple: Stan will read books on camera. They keep the filming really easy as well, using just a plain, gray background and a two-camera setup. One camera will focus on Stan, while another will be placed overhead, pointing down at the book. 

"Who knew that something so simple could be so frustrating to light?" Jared comments to Matthew. "It’s taken an hour just to get rid of the shadows.” 

“So what book is first?” Matthew asks Stan. 

“Oh I got a good one, a really good one,” Stan replies behind a smile.
