yo what is up Josh Miller here back with
another YouTube video it's been a minute
I didn't really feel like doing YouTube
videos when quarantine was going on cuz
I felt like everybody was doing YouTube
videos but it is time to get back on the
horse to get back going to it today I
thought I would do a video kind of like
a work tutorial it was from a shoot that
I was on the last couple days I wanted
to show you the interview portion that
we did for it and how we set it up and
how it looked
so one of the main points that I want to
hit on is stressing the importance of
not being afraid to rent things from a
rental house especially grip things so
for the shoot I decided to rent a 1-ton
grip package from Red Finch rental
they're here in Utah super awesome you
get a full grip van with 150 miles a day
a full grip package full one ton grip
package for only a hundred and fifty
dollars a day it's insane and it's all
the things that you need it's got C
stands it's got combo stands it's got
flag it has four by floppies it has two
by three flags it's got just clamps it's
got everything that you need to be a
grip and so I decided because I didn't
know exactly what all this shoot was
going to entail just decided to rent a
full grip truck and it came in super
handy so for the interviews we were in
this conference room of this old mill I
think or cellar and they converted it
into a office space super cool looking
place lots of cement lots of barnwood
and so the original plan was to shoot in
a certain direction and I didn't like
that at all and so I was like hey what
about if we open up these doors and
shoot down into this opening space and
then we can pop some light up in the
back to kind of have a light coming from
the back and to show off this beautiful
wood in the back so the first thing that
I had to do in this room was there was
this massive window that was just
letting a ton of light in and I didn't
want that to affect anything so I took 2
4 by floppies put him on some c-stands
put it up and just totally blacked out
the window for the key light I decided
to go with the 2 by Gemini from light
panels super awesome light really
comparable to the airy sky panel and
then I put a 2 16 diffusion in front of
that light to give a nice big source put
it right up against the subject and it
looked awesome then after that I took my
quasar 4 foot RGB tube and put that in
the back on a c-stand and just put it at
5,600 and just kind of let it flow
through put it up vertically so that it
could act as like a nice big light
and just let that blast through at 100%
the last thing that I needed to do was
give a nice hair light and so I took my
aperture 120 D put that up on a c-stand
and then sticked it up so that it was up
out of frame and put the body of the
stand behind the doorframe and honestly
I really love this look I think it
turned out super nice it was just it was
a two camera setup and so we had a nice
wide and then a tight and super easy
super awesome look client was super
happy with it
learning how to light interviews is
probably one of the most essential
things that you need to learn as a
videographer you're going to probably be
doing a lot of them I at least for me I
do a lot of interviews and you just
quickly because you don't always have a
lot of time to figure out where to set
up and so you quickly need to be able to
set up a shot figure out where your key
is gonna go and I actually had this key
on the other side of this person at
first and I decided to switch it because
I wanted when we had the B cam on the
left side and so it was gonna be hitting
the subjects right side of the face and
so I had the key originally on the right
side of the face but I wanted to shoot
into the dark side of the face onto the
shadow side of the face so we actually
flipped the key on to the other side and
that actually looked so much better when
it was on the other side I felt like it
was brightening up the room way too much
and I was gonna have to do a lot of
negative fill to be able to control that
but once we popped it on to the other
side it really just made everything look
super nice once again thanks for
watching this video I'm excited to start
putting out some more content if you
have any questions please leave them
down below and I'll see you guys soon
