In this episode, I demo and explain how I approach two separate lighting designs for interview shots. When lighting corporate video - interviews - I often have to work quite quickly and set up the cameras, sound, and lighting within 20 minutes. Here are a couple of examples to give you some ideas you might incorporate into your interview lighting designs.
Thanks to Litepanels for providing the lighting instruments used to produce this video.
