Johnny Manziel Podcast Series
When Johnny Manziel decided to produce a multi-episode podcast series in Las Vegas, In Color Studios was selected as the production partner — a choice that reflected our proven track record producing high-quality content for high-profile athletes and sports personalities. The project required a nimble, professional team able to deliver broadcast‑level audio and video in a transient environment, and we met those needs by transforming a Las Vegas hot suite into a fully equipped temporary studio. The result was a seamless production run that captured candid conversation and dynamic interviews with guests including Maxx Crosby and Shawne Merriman.
Working in a hot suite demanded careful coordination and studio-level thinking. Our crew arrived with a complete mobile rig: professional lighting grids to create flattering, cinematic tones; multiple camera packages for versatile coverage and picture depth; and a dedicated audio chain optimized for podcast clarity — broadcast mics, multi-channel interfaces, and real-time monitoring. We designed the layout for both comfort and control, arranging the space so hosts and guests felt relaxed while maintaining sightlines and mic positioning required for pristine capture. The hot suite setup allowed us to record multiple episodes across consecutive days with minimal turnaround, while still delivering consistent visual and sonic quality.
Experience is everything when producing content with world-famous athletes. These guests often have tight schedules, heightened public profiles, and specific technical or security requirements. In Color Studios brings years of experience managing those variables — coordinating logistics, respecting talent needs, and creating an atmosphere that fosters genuine conversation. Our team understands how to frame interviews to support storytelling: selecting camera angles that emphasize emotional beats, lighting that complements skin tones and wardrobe, and audio processing that preserves the natural character of each voice without unwanted artifacts.
Beyond technical execution, we prioritize a collaborative relationship with talent and producers. For the Johnny Manziel series, that meant close pre-production planning, flexible scheduling around guest availability, and attentive on-site support so the hosts could focus on the conversation. Whether we’re handling a single-session interview or a multi-episode run, our commitment remains the same: lights, cameras, and audio executed to the highest standard so the content can shine.
Choosing In Color Studios ensured the Johnny Manziel podcast series benefited from a turnkey approach — mobile studio expertise, veteran crews accustomed to working with elite athletes, and a production process designed to deliver consistent, broadcast-ready episodes from a Las Vegas hot suite.
