Shoot once,
sell for years
You record an online course in stages; it still has to look like one piece. A teleprompter, a self-view and a set that lets module twelve still match module one.
Courses get made in stages.
An online course is rarely made in one sitting. Weeks often pass between module one and module twelve, and it shows in the result when every recording happened somewhere else: different light, different background, different tone. To buyers that does not read as progress. It reads as patched together.
How long a lesson should be
Shorter than most people plan. Six to twelve minutes per lesson is the range where people watch to the end and click on to the next one. Anything over twenty gets paused and rarely resumed.
That has consequences for the structure: a subject that needs forty minutes does not become one long video but four short ones. It does not make the course look thinner — it makes it walkable.
Reading without sounding like it
Speaking freely sounds better but costs retakes. A teleprompter directly under the camera is the compromise: you hold eye contact and your thread at the same time, which helps most when a lesson is full of figures or technical terms.
The trick is to load notes rather than full sentences. Read whole sentences and you sound like someone reading whole sentences. How the studio is set up →
A setup that stays the same for months
Camera positions, framing and lighting are saved. At the next session everything stands exactly as it did, whether a week or two months have passed. So every lesson looks like part of a series without you taking notes about aperture values during the shoot.
That is the difference between a course you record in stages and a course where the stages show.
What an online course costs
The recording is predictable; the edit is not. Reckon on several times the recording time per finished lesson once overlays, chapter marks and slides come into it. Knowing that in advance changes how you shoot: fewer stumbles to fix in the edit, more calm while speaking.
The cheapest way is to record several modules back to back. Setup, tuning and warming up then happen once instead of at every module. What a shooting day costs here →
Recording online courses in Hanover
Bookable from one hour, usually sensible as a half or full day. For four to six lessons most people plan half a day.

5 out of 5 stars
Exceeded my expectations by some way — the studio is a place where you feel at home immediately, and Sven, Dennis and their team make that very easy. A thoroughly modern shooting location with a great atmosphere.

Quick answers
Does the look stay the same across several sessions?+
Yes. We save your lighting and the set is rebuilt identically.
Can I operate the teleprompter myself?+
Yes, from the Stream Deck in the set — start, stop, change the speed.
How long should I book?+
A chapter usually takes 30 to 60 minutes to record, including breaks to reset. If you are unsure, book the half day — the remaining time can go into short clips.
