Check out the Interview Masterclass! damiencooper.store/b/interviewmasterclass

You are awesome man, I just learned that you're from Vienna as well when I shared your video about "Why NO ONE is Using Parabolic Soft-boxes on BIG Sets" with my friend Stefan Yazzie. He said that you came over to House of Bandits a few years ago so we must have crossed paths somehow. Thanks for the great content. Keep doing what you're doing my man. Seems like you're having fun and nailing the educational content at the same time.

Well I enjoyed this. I like hearing how other filmmakers think. Nice length as well, not too short nor too drawn out.

Love it, 3 reds, wow! Nice work as always

Awesome break down, always interesting to see different setups

Damien, this is one of the best content I have ever consumed on KZfaq. Extremely detailed, great cinematography and all the information well broken down into biteable bits. Thank you and I am certainly signing up for your interview master class. Please when are we seeing the next WOW video on this Chanel? I hope am not asking for too much. Cheers.

Thank you so much for this! I love these breakdowns so much more than another cheesy product review ❤🎉

0:03 it's nice seeing Damien getting jiggy with it after all these years on KZfaq 😂 😂

Your audio sounds amazing as your narrate your setup! All I see is that wind and I am wondering how you got it to sound so good! Great breakdown and thanks for sharing your setup! :)

It's an impressive gear setup! Thanks for sharing. You have to think about your budget for the project. You would need to be getting a minimum of $10k or more for interviews to justify that gear and crew as well as post-production editing. I'm not a fan of moving cameras for interviews. I tend to frame the shots a little wider in 4k and leave some room to zoom in on shots that need emphasis to achieve camera movement in post. I think too much movement can be distracting, and you feel like you in a Michael Bay movie. That is personal preference, of course, not taking away from what you're doing with your style. You can add b-roll that has plenty of movement to give you that balance and pacing. You were spot on with setting up the camera to film on the shadow side of the light source. The only time I don't do that is when the motivating light in a room forces me to do differently. I would also have your guy wear a light/medium blue shirt instead of green. Helps with the orange and blue contrast.

Thanks Damien

Love your videos. Maybe don't get your subject sitting their while you talk about tech stuff, he looked really uncomfortable and stole focus from you. And i wanted to know what his story was the whole time lol !!! still super useful video thanks a lot!!!

Insane setup

I love your content brou! So inspiring for younger generations🔥

your guten tag caught me off guard was geeeeeeeeeht

HAhahahahahahhahahah , Super Clean Teeeeee....Well that's Karl K.... great stuff, Do you mind telling which light boom did you use, are you recommend the Manfrotto combi-stand? 420 I guess

Well done sir

when using an external recorder, do you typically send a lineout into your camera for backup? In my case the zoom f3 lives on my cam rig but I would rather leave it off for easier mounting options and reduce bulkyness of my cam rig. Thanks!

Great Breakdown! I'm curious whether you did some comparisons regarding sliders. Specifically if you compared the Zeapon to any of the Edelkrone or Rhino sliders?

Sua conteúdos são muito bons!!!! Parabéns!

Hi there- sort of random question only bc I had an issue this week, your camera's frame rates were set to 25, with reds, what did you have your project time base set at? Do you always have to match that for talking interviews?

Whats the pro of having yout mic go into a f6, insteead of having it go in camera?

Man what mic are you using? Its very full and isolated! Great Video!!!

As usual.... Truly Gem Video... one thing.. some items you mention.. Are Not Listed.. in your Video Description Section... SmallRig Tripod Detail or Link

what lav are you using sheeesh

A lot of grumpy people in the comments. There are different levels for different productions. Some people are at a level where they need to use more gear. You’ll get there eventually and when you do, you’ll have this video as reference.

Cool setup, but unfortunately that amount of wind is incredibly distracting in an interview setting. Maybe for a broadcast on, "The Weather Channel" it would make sense, but I feel like that amount of wind in the background will distract the viewer from what the interviewee is actually saying. Thanks for showing the neat equipment though!

It's a lot of kit for this shoot, a bit overkill. Is it a matter of having too much gear and must somehow find a way to use it? How much of this gear was given to you and how much did you buy?

Hi Damien, echt hammer content, verfolge dich schon seit den Anfängen von monkeypixels damals. :) sagmal hast du eine RF Adapterlösung mit speedbooster und Variablen ND in einem gefunden? :)

#1 your key is about two stops too hot, it makes the camera look like its roll off sucks!

did you find out why one komodo was darker?

Do you think instead of buying a dolly, I could just use this slider?

Why does it sound like your audio is done in ADR?

Pretty certain you could replicate this with no reds... Fancy tripods... Overkill lights.... With a better result. Maybe focus on 'how to' ... Rather than 'what with'

Do you think if this is an overkill? 3 red for an interview?

The interview is lit horribly. The key light just doesn't match the surroundings... you light something this way in a professional scenario, you'll be there a day maximum.

Where did you hide your microphone? In the hat? 😃

Not only that your background Is boring and much too busy. The character, the Star of the show, is supposed to be the money not the BG. he gets lost in the image. next time kill most of the light BG, buy some fishing line and hang some micro Christmas lights and rack them out of focus big time. next, poor choice of glass, much too wide, they don't call them portrait lenses for nothing.

Sorry but his face blows out on all shots... If we talk about cinematic light - we talk mostly about soft light. Get your light way softer before making a tutorial...Just some criticism - not hate...

Good work but cinematic has become such a cliche.

What's cinematic about it? Can people please stop using cinematic about anything random
