Your tips are spot on. After producing documentaries for 20 years, I can attest to the pause. The solid gold comes when you stop actually asking questions, and convert to listening, There is magic in the pause!

Pauses are probably the best tip on doing great interviews. It can be quite uncomfortable in the beginning but it's such a simple and effective thing to do. The answers that come out of it are always the most interesting ones.

It’s the best tip. You will always get a good response on the other side of a pause

I've used that method where I just pause and wait for them to say something else. .and it usually leads to something great and will most likely make it into the cut. Great video, glad to know I've been on the right track when approaching the interview section of a documentary.

It’s basically the same weather in TO as it is in Maine, for the most part. Crazy that it snowed and now it’s so hot. Hard to keep up. Great points. I definitely have experienced the pause being awkward, but paying off. Documentary film making is so much more difficult than people ever imagine.

There's more personal stuff too, and not only am I so looking forward to becoming a friend of his, I am concerned about getting our first chat/interview really well recorded. Looking forward to checking out your other videos too. Cheers.
