M&J - Technical aspects of the booth

So after considering a lot about the design for the booth and how it would all come together. The thought of how I would capture the footage didn't come to mind, and so today I decided to focus on how I would capture the each confession.

With a little research I ended up finding a remote switch that would work perfectly.

Remote recording button (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/981223-REG/revo_vrs_lanc_video_remote_for_sony.html)
The plan is to connect the switch to the camcorder, possibly a Canon xf305 or Sony hvr-z1e, and with at least 5m of cable I would channel the remote into the booth. Placing it in a safe and easily seen spot, which would allow the audience to easily see and press the remote to trigger recording, and with a monitor inside the booth already connected to the camcorder. The audience would be able to see what's being recorded, this would be a security blanket for those shy to the camera. This would also allow the audience to see when the camcorder is actually recording and when it's not recording, through the indicator on the the monitor when the button is remote is pressed. This would help stop confusion with the audience leaving the camcorder on record after they have left the booth.

The Camera would be hidden in a separate section of the booth, hidden behind the wall. With a small section of the wall cut out and replaced with a small screen, possibly glass or a two way mirror, and so the audience would not be able to actually touch the camera lens. This would stop any potential damage to the lens.
