I have three Tri-8c LED's. How to light interview with them properly?
@illustratedWORD

Creative ideas for (one-man) ultra compact/lightweight/travel on-location interview setups that might combine with existing light. For example, I was going to purchase several Aputure F7 LEDs (or MX) for traveling into hard-to-reach locations (ex.- no electricity). These are places where my only light diffuser on hand is my trusty white translucent shower curtain liner that has 101 uses and easily replaced!

For corporate interviews, I love to use a two light setup. A 528S Blasted through a silk for the key and a small led panel as a hair light/kicker. I can then sprinkle in a little bit of practical light or another small LED panel in the background to taste. This is a super fast setup that never fails me. Most of what I shoot is talent looking off camera and shooting against the key.

Great tips. Being a one man crew and traveling overseas for my clients, I can only take a single light with me. So I often use the available light as key, if I can find a way to soften it, and us my light as either fill or back light. I also try to use practicals when possible behind the subject if it adds to the scene. Love the china ball idea!

Setup 2 is exactly what I was looking for but the other setups will help me too! This year my twin and I are gonna start filming his story on how he overcame hard times thru life and got to where he is today.Growing up he was judged as "the bad twin" that wouldn't be successful and we never worked together much.Where we grew up wasn't the best place to stay out of trouble either. A few years ago he got a motorcycle( as a kid he always wanted one) One day he got in a wreck that put him out of work for some time and he was pretty low after his surgery. He wasn't sure he'd be able to work his dream job in the military anymore. At the time we didn't see it but it was a blessing in disguise. While recovering he watched a lot of car youtubers and their vids would motivate him. He came to me saying he wants to motivate others so now we make KZitem videos together about his car and try to motivate others!Today he's happily married(weirdly his wife passed by his wreck while they were strangers), working his dream job, with his dream car. And it all happened by the age of 22. Luckily he was wearing a helmet and riding gear or none that would've been possible.

My favorite interview tip is to bring a mannequin for initial shot framing and rough lighting. Often, in corporate interviews, talent won't arrive until a minute or two before roll time. Even if you have a PA on site, their talent is better used moving and adjusting lights and modifiers. Bonus tip: 10 minutes in makeup can save you 30 minutes in additional light adjustment.

I would be interested in seeing some set ups with only flagging.

I like the tips you shared. My favorite tip was the last lighting set up where the interviewee was shown to give a strong message (the contract variation set up). I feel like you used the space well in that it was clean and polished without it being too dramatic; It gave an artsy feel but yet kept that professional look. The shadow fall-off gave a comfortable style that balanced well with the lights and painting in the background. I would use this when shooting a brand story with a strong message. Thank you!!!

To light interviews, I like to get my key as close as possible and then dial it down. Then I'll throw a blue hair light behind the subject to make them pop out from the background and then take another light, throw a grid on it and aim it at some background elements to make them pop too. I usually don't like my subject to be the brightest thing in the frame but I don't want the brightest thing to be large and distracting...usually just some accent highlights on background elements. But every interview is different and depends on the location I'm working with. I'll usually also move stuff around where I'm filming so that I get some interesting background elements.

My favourite, and fun, lighting for a non-corporate narrative interview is to get an untrustworthy/mysterious look by leaning into the hard light, and lowering the fill, high contrast, embrace the shadows! Or throw a venetian blinds pattern (cookie) in front of a hard light and really embody the film noir look. Or just use flags to get a thin intense film noir/thriller type eye light. Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown.

I finally got enough money to buy a 20d mini kit and absolutely love it. I can now use my H198c's for the background and help soften the face a little and add a second light to catch in the eyes.

My favorite tip for interview lighting is use separate colors, which creates depth and helps focus on the subject talking. By saying that this is what I mean: first and foremost if you have the luxury of a professional lighting setup, then turn off all the lights in the room, because you never want to mix colors (for instance a practical fluorescent light fixture on the ceiling mixed with a tungsten bulb key lighting the subject is a no no) . Now light your subject with a warmer color such as a tungsten light, or a 1/2 CTO/CST gel on a daylight Led. then light behind the subject with a cooler temperature (typically opposite color on the color wheel like orange and teal), which for this case we could just say a diffused led daylight by itself. this lighting contrast will help the viewer subconsciously focus on the subject talking and make them feel like they are watching a transformers movie....haha jk just don't go to extreme with it. subtle is always better

Do you ever take into account the shape of someone's face when lighting an interview? For example, would you light someone with a large nose and narrow face different than someone with a small nose and flat/round face? I'd think that some lighting setups might not neccessarily be a one size fits all for facial features, and I'd hate to use a popular lighting setup that makes a client's nose look even bigger.
@Thats_my_Point
6 жыл бұрын
Parker Badger I think simply by asking this question, you recognize that there is an answer. Obviously somebody with larger features (specifically noses) is going to cast longer and more distracting shadows the further the light becomes profile to them. So you can bring your key light in closer to their eye line which will help shorten the shadow, or you can work on continuing to soften the light so the shadow is more ambiguous. If somebody has deep set eyes, again you want to make sure the elevation of your light isn’t too high above them. If somebody has deep wrinkles, you can help reduce the look of this by ensuring that you’re feeling in from a complementary angle to reduce the depth of the shadows to make them less noticeable

Casey, there are plenty of ways to light things, so let me say that before asking the following. If you were setting up for only your 2nd setup, the contrasty example, would you still use the same lights? Meaning, the lights you are using SEEM to be throwing light all around, if you were to use, say a rectangular LED setup that has barn doors, wouldn’t you be able to control the light more. Just trying to understand your thinking....Maybe it is the quality of light that you are getting from using the softboxes. Thanks for your thoughts in advance!!!
@Thats_my_Point
6 жыл бұрын
Keith Tomshe well there’s a ton of answers to what I think is the question. Here’s the obvious difference if we were using a panel light with barn doors, We would still be able to hit most of the 6 x 6 diffusion and illuminated, but because the source would be smaller and more intense, we would get a pretty noticeable hotspot in the diffusion which would add some specularity to the light on the subject. A soft box in and of itself controls the spill of light perpendicular to the beam better than barn doors do because it’s 360, But in this case neither would really do a whole lot, because you’re getting a ton of bounce back from the diffusion itself, and the diffusion is doing what it does by spreading that beam on the working side. Thankfully having the key so close to the subject, by the time it gets to most of the background, it’s level is so low it gets washed out (due to the inverse square law). I mean with anything in lighting, there’s so much to discuss with any choice or option. These are kind of the first things I thought of

Well I kind of take pictures (stills) and you can make lighting simple or complex. First before you use any lights, you must decide how the scene is to be lit. Bogart in a darkly lit, or somewhat darkly lit bar....ect. So first you need a main source of light. Is this light coming from the windows, a campfire...etc. Now if you don't have the window or campfire light, you can create it. And where is the light coming from in relationship to the subject. If the shadows are too dark, then you need other lights to lighten the shadows, if that's what you want. But the lighting should look real. If it's a rainy day, and you have lights shining through the windows, then you go outside, the inside looks like it's a sunny day, but then the outside is rainy So the room is lit with lights from the outside shining through the windows, and additional lights are used inside as fill ins.

Even if there's some kind of bad news, there's always this element of hope I'd like to capture. But 99% of the time I just use my window as a fill LOL

You should do a video where you replicate lighting from famous movies.

You seem to have longer power cables going from the controller box to the 120D with the strip box at 4:58 . Is it a longer cable than the supplied cable, and if so where do we get one?

Christopher Cox if you go on Amazon you can find all kinds of lengths of OHSA cables. I have a bunch of 10 footers I use on most of my lights just to make things easier

Casey McBeath Wait. I'm referring to the DC power cord that plugs into the 120D, not the AC cable that plugs into power brick.

Christopher Cox oh, Art. I don’t recall us having any that were longer than normal. Something you could try is adding your own extension. Thankfully on the 120 lights, the power input to the light itself is a four pin XLR cable. This is actually a fairly typical cable in the film industry, and in other settings. You could try adding a short one, 3’- 6’ and see what happens. I might actually test this out. I am sure I have a few around my house. I do wonder if there would be an impact on the light due to the voltage drop across the cable. I guess we will see

Some practical/useful advice here but you don't need 10k worth of lighting for corporate interviews.

What I was looking for was...the name of the super trendy, & Super IRRITATING technique where they shoot the interviewee from another angle (with another CAMERA), looking at the initial camera. So annoying cos they all copy it!!

Nout Gons well it’s important to remember that the concept of the same. There’s definitely other tools available across a pretty big spectrum of budgets. That being said, remember that we were shooting in the studio with no sunlight, and no lights at all. So a lot of our lighting was actually just to make it look like an average office. If you were to take those lights out of the equation, most of the set ups are only two lights, three at the most

Raya Fahreza well remember we were shooting in a black box studio, which you probably will never do. A lot of our lights were merely to get it to look like an actual normal environment, Rather than a black hole of nothing
