How to shoot an INTERVIEW | Industry Knowledge

This Episode ► Follow me as I light and shoot a cinematic interview! You will learn our process and some of our secrets to creating a powerful image! It's important to understand what kind of space you are filming in and where the natural sunlight is coming from. Finding your frame and composing your shot is the most important part of the process. After framing your shot, the shape of your subjects face should be your next property. Finally, the background lighting should be considered. Clients want to look good and clients will pay you more for it.

I am a professional video editor and I can tell you that so many camera-men/women out there really need to watch this. Thank you for making it look great and sharing your insights!

I’ve watched many tutorials on YT about lighting, you are the first person I’ve watched who actually knows what he’s talking about and can convey it in an engaging manner that doesn’t feel like a lesson.

This guy's the real deal!
Now I'm off to purchase that Quasar Science light, an ND filter, and a house to film stuff in.

this is one of those *golden* channels you see that's at 1K now, and 100K in a month

This is the best tutorial I have ever seen on lighting interviews. I learned a lot of this by listening to the wandering DP podcast, but this basically condensed a month's worth of podcast listening into 11 minutes. You've got a great sense of humor, great teaching ability and real skill in what you do. Keep it up! My career depends on it!

[dominick]

this is even better than Aperture's own lighting videos

"Most of what people say in interview is garbage. But at least the lighting can be nice! :-D"
Well, my good sir! 1 Subscription, please!

[KyleLi]

Well this is tragic. Y'all hit 3k. This is literally the best video I've seen in terms of production quality and speed and just general amusement on how to do REAL lighting... its incredible.

"I close one eye to make it blurry because I wanna see the background blurry".

Okay this dude is hardcore.

Really impressive. The difference is HUGE between initial configuration (no lighting) and the end at 8:11.
Really inspires amateurs to take lighting seriously. (I am not a filmmaker, but a mathematics teacher who wants to create better youtube videos).
Thank you for sharing this information.

[Extremehick]

I was sold when you showed your client work. I was like dang, I'm watching to see how these guys do it. Loved the use of all the lights and why you did it. I usually just use two lights... apparently it's time to level up.

[Garbageman]

really appreciate how this is straight, practical information with no bullshit. Being a good videographer is ultimately being a good communicator and i think you've mastered the art of communicating.

[mariothingy]

Props for creating such a high--quality, easy to understand tutorial and still making the video entertaining. This has to be the best lighting tutorial I've ever seen, instant sub

[DatrysiadMedia]

You know, the effort that has gone into this to make it look effortless and easy going cant be underestimated.

Nice work. Something I'm striving for. Just finished a vid and you know what, theres a little shine in my face and head and I'm just really knarked at myself as its pulling the focus from my beautiful sultry eyes to my bald head.

Great tips on this really.

Finally! A video how-to from a working team. So pumped for this channel. I'm a 40-year-old photographer that is losing a ton of bids to hybrid shooters. Time to adapt or die. Thank you for the info! 🙌🏼

[danifrim]

I'm shooting quite a few interviews later, and I always watch this video before a shoot, and I always find something new or interesting. This is pure gold here. Parker Walbeck educational level

I consume too much content on YouTube. So you should listen to me when I tell you: this is among the best informational videos on the platform.
