On my prior shoots, I used my Ford F250 pickup and threw a trap over the back (keeping the expensive equipment inside the crew cab) but that was becoming too unwieldy as inventory increased… so I rented a cargo van and I’ll never go back… more room, fully covered, easier to park for load and strike… and better mileage than my ‘99 classic!

Stumbled across your video mate, nice work. Doing more corporate work myself at present so always looking for tips. My instincts would have led me to shoot in the other direction at a diagonal so just wondering if there was a technical reason or aesthetic reason why you didn’t shoot with the large windows as the backdrop and just scene dress behind the talent to give the shot more depth?
@evanthecameramanАй бұрын
The main reason was I wanted to show more context of where we were. The background I chose had their colors, the word “Rescue” on the wall, and some kittens in the glass to the right. The windows were a prettier shot but less context on the location. I also would’ve needed more time to setup lights on the subject to compete with all that window light if it were the backdrop.

You show, to perfection, there usually is nothing fancy in filming interviews bit it still can be enjoyable. Both for you and the talent. You have a very "light" way of setting and filming, and this is much more interesting than the more-equals-better approach some try to establish as a rule. You show that, even in smaller size AV production such as corporate stuff, less-can-speak-better. And that there is no need to throw magic dust into the eyes of the client, for them to be impressed or stunned... all it takes is a sharp video with crisp sound. Two cameras with lenses, three lights, two microphones, a few bits and cables : happy client, even though you did bring just the minimum. Bravo !
@evanthecameramanАй бұрын
I thoroughly enjoy filming interviews as it gives me an excuse to just talk to people and learn about them and what they do. Sometimes I want to purchase and use all the fancy tools money can buy, but then I remember two things. 1. It won’t make my stories better. 2. I can’t afford what I want anyways. 😅

First time trying to break the rule. Didn’t love it but client didn’t care at all so it was an opportunity to experiment.

It’s about 95% the same as I handle male clients. The only real difference is I ask to hold their finger and use it to point exactly where I want lav mics placed. 9/10 times they tell me just to mic them up and 1/10 I can tell would rather do it themselves. I’m really good at judging client comfort levels and understanding where boundaries are.
