I find it's best for us to bulk film a lot of our stuff in one clearly defined schedule. This is something we do on Sunday afternoons, film three out of our four videos that we release per week. We have everything set up so that getting the camera, lights, props, puppets (we have a puppet channel, YMMV on puppets) all in one central location so that filming is mostly a matter of going into the recording space, turning on our equipment, and being creative.
For videos that require a lot more setup or different locations or more people involved, this could become much more of a challenge, for sure, but I think making as much of the process an automatic thing as possible can do creators a world of good.
