So Farnaz says they initiated plan B: “She hired a director of photography and a technician, who put on a precautionary hazmat suit and configured brightly-lit rooms in Kim’s self-described ‘minimalist monastery’ mansion and in Khloé’s Calabasas home. There they set up phone-friendly tripods, which were carefully cleaned with sanitary wipes to combat the transfer of any germs. The family waited 24 hours before entering the rooms to further avoid any potential COVID-19 contamination,” Elle writes.
Difficulties aside, this new form of recording has surprisingly led to a new candor with the family, which fans will be able to witness. Farnaz says, “Sometimes you’ll hear them mumbling under their breath, ‘Who knew a camera person’s job would be so hard?!'”
The only other change in their production has been the introduction of new iPhones. According to the EP, a showrunner exchanges new iPhones for the ones containing the footage. In total, the Kardashians record around 16 hours of footage, although it varies by family member.
