Great work! I'm wondering if it wouldn't have been even easier to just use a bounce (like a 6x6 or a 8x8) as a key. Less stands needed and no extra power needed.
@DavidBaatzsch
@DavidBaatzsch 2 жыл бұрын
Exactly, i don't think having 3 panels + light is practical enough for most interviews, especially if the interviewee needs to move a bit. Just a bounce you can move easily is usually the way to go

Yes, the light isn’t necessary. A large bounce would give perfect light without having to waste time setting that up.

Instead of a video light you also could use a acrylic mirror if the there are no clouds and the interview does not take that long. With that mirror you could reflect sunlight in the scrim on the left. Allways handy to have in your bag of trics. And when you have set the position of the talent, i would mark that spot on the ground. You made a great video. Thanks!

I don't think you needed that 600D for the key light at all. Just bounce from the sun would be quite enough. You'd have to move it with the sun if you're shooting for longer but it would look more natural. And for me personally, this type of 'light sandwich' setup with the hairlight from the back and the key from the front looks a bit too artificial. I would put the backlight more to the side, say 11 o'clock and then the key to the same side so it wraps around the face and all feels like it's part of the same daylight source. Also I would make the key bigger, so maybe an 8x frame or two 4x frames side by side, again to help it wrap.

To me, this lighting setup (what I know as the "sun sandwich") always looks a bit hyperrealistic to me, which might be what you're going for; however, I prefer the hair light (the sun) to be at the 11 or 1 o'clock position and the key light to be at the 9:30 or 2:30 o'clock position. This way, when the two lights are at closer positions to each other, it appears that the two sources are actually one. I would be excited to see you try this look in a future video. Let me know what you think.

@@martiniustollin This makes a lot of sense. I do agree with the original poster, sometimes the key light is so bright in a shot that it takes me out of a moment and I have done very little production work. It's just obvious when the sun is behind you and your face is blasting light well... duh, feels wrong. Maybe it's because cell phone video is ubiquitous? However, his shot looked awesome at the start, wasn't distracting at all and it seems pretty clear the diffusion is making this magic work. When the harsh sunlight disappears then it's unclear the actual position of the sun or the 'lighting situation' so, yeah... diffusion is magic. To my eye, if you are going to use a key light then you better bring the diffusion or you making a real choice.

Great vid! Then only think I would do differently is when you are shooting two people for separate interviews in the same space, move the angle of the camera just enough to create a different background and it might look like a different location entirely. Also have the second interview sitting down in a chair instead of standing up. These little changes can change the dynamic of the interviews to make them both more interesting.
