BlueDesk

Launch offer · three desks

Your desk, ready for the camera.

BlueDesk is a desk studio for founders and thought leaders: a cinema camera, set lighting and a proper microphone on a frame that clamps to the desk you already have. For the launch, we install one free when you sign up for The Monthly Interview.

  • $1,500 a month
  • Three-month minimum

Each month

What you get each month

  • One interview

    You sit at your own desk for 45 minutes and answer our questions. That's all we ask of you.

  • At least eight pieces

    We deliver at least eight videos and articles in your own words. You approve each one and post it yourself.

  • Better calls

    The same camera, lights and microphone run your Zoom calls. Colleagues and customers see the difference on every call.

One interview

45 minutes in, eight pieces out

The clips carry captions and are cut for LinkedIn and other vertical feeds. The long video is one full answer, three to five minutes. Each article is written from the transcript in your own words.

Who's behind it

Built by BlueForest Studios

I'm Ammon Ehrisman. I own BlueForest Studios, a video production company in the Raleigh, North Carolina area, and I've worked in video since 2002. Interviewing people who aren't actors is the part of the job I know best.

BlueDesk brings the camera, lights and sound we use on a shoot to your desk, so your monthly interview looks like one of our shoots, not a webcam call.

  • 1,000+on-camera interviews
  • 750+videos made
  • 2002in video since

Three launch desks

Three desks, installed free

We're building three desks for the launch. Once they're placed, new clients pay at least the cost of the desk's parts. If you'd like one of the three, book a 15-minute call. I'll ask about your office and what you want to say, and if it isn't a good fit I'll tell you.
