These are always impressive: the piece to camera, done while action central to the story takes place in the background. With only the one chance to nail it as Boris Johnson walks back into No. 10 after his resignation speech, @ChrisMasonBBC nails it. (Note also the pull focus)

You may well have thought of this, but if you’re interviewing someone via Zoom/FaceTime etc on a laptop, ask them to position the back lens of a smartphone right by the lens of their laptop. If they send you the video from their phone, it’ll be higher quality than Zoom/FaceTime.

It’s not perfect but the new iOS app FocosLive does a pretty good job of giving Depth of Field to a video.

Shout out to whoever at the BBC filled out the necessary paperwork and the risk assessment form to get permission for hundreds of drones to fly in formation over Buckingham Palace. #partyatthepalace

And that set-up led to this piece of video. Rather than one static shot, or the reporter re-doing his questions later, this is a better workflow for the BBC and also saves the time for the guest as we don't need them to "hang around" while we take more shots.
