Biggest problem is getting the lighting right, what is the lighting setup going to be?

Thank you! As for the lighting, it's going to be indoors in people's offices. So overhead fluorescents. When possible, they'd sit next to a window. I also just purchased myself a cheap Neewer LED light for extra fill light and I have some diffusers from reflectors that I use for my still photography. At this stage don't think I'm going to for backlighting or anything like that. Though depending on how this works out, i may end up setting up some gray or white seamless paper and just doing the videos in front of those so they can all be standard. Does this seem reasonable?

Keep everything simple - is there any way to set up in one place and get people to that?

A seamless backdrop seems like a great idea.

Just to make another point about the audio, it is very important - if all fails you can always use a still image with audio, but if the audio is bad you are completely stuffed.

In this context, it is more important than the video.
