Two camera setup

This is my two camera setup to shoot video in the kitchen. The idea is to film me making some of my favorite recipes to share with friends and family. My a7r on the right has the FE 35mm lens mounted for a general, wide angle view and will be focused on me and my Canon 7D on the left has the 70-200mm lens to shoot tight shots of the food prep area at the same time.

 

On the dinette table is a wireless lavalier microphone transmitter and reciever so I can 'narrate' what I'm doing without distracting external sounds. The plan is to shoot the prep work first then rearrange the 7D (or 5D3 whichever I use) and a7r to capture the actual cooking portion too.

 

I use Sony Vegas Pro 13 as my video editor and I recently did a test to edit multi camera tracks for the first time. It actually went smoother than I expected and I thought the cuts worked well. Oh, and that wooden spoon is to smack the table hard to make a sharp sound in order to sync both cameras.
