First Time Lighting an Interview

Hey everyone! Sorry for be absent the past couple weeks. This week I wanted to just go over some footage I got trying to practice for interviews. I have limited experience with this so if you guys notice anything that could be improved please point it out!

[@IshaMistry99]

Damn, so glad i stumbled upon your channel! So insightful and refreshing. You're extremely talented Emmett!

[@emmettdixon]

@@wbynan thank you! love your stuff dude!

[@mayback]

I can relate to not having a lot of experience in setting up shots for interviews and earlier this year, I had to film an entire project like this and I learned a so much. you did a great job, dude! it looks amazing and I love the way you color grade

[@emmettdixon]

Thank you! Really appreciate it! Will be showing how I've been grading in a video soon.

Tips & tricks are always helpful thanks for sharing 🎥🎞️✍️🔥

[@emmettdixon]

Thanks for watching!

[@WHOSBROKEBOIPROD]

interior night time set goes crazy and the day time lighting set up you have on yourself bounces around the room so well!

[@emmettdixon]

Thanks for the support

[@AmariRebel]

I agree. How did you light the shot of you? The background isn’t blown out and we still see you clearly. What light did tou use?

[@emmettdixon]

@@AmariRebel used a Nanlite 720b with a light dome at 100%. Also used a 300d bouncing in the ceiling. Used ND to bring levels outside down.

Love those interview shots. They give me Netflix vibes

[@emmettdixon]

@@PeterDiBussolo thank you!!

[@HarryOlsen]

Loved the video dude, as a learning filmmaker this was super helpful! Quick point, I'd recommend getting a pop filter for your microphone, just so your audio is a lot clearer! Much love!

[@emmettdixon]

@@HarryOlsen new mic is on the way! Appreciate the support

[@goodbug53]

Yo man, nice! I also struggle with this haha, Im 14 so i aint that expeirenced, so its cool to see you doing this. God bles man!

[@emmettdixon]

Appreciate the support!

[@armandoarriaga777]

hey bro amazing content, just a tip, im hearing most of the sound fx (foley) on my left ear only feels a bit weird.

[@emmettdixon]

Interesting. I’ll look into it thanks for point that out and the support !

[@sarawmb5378]

looks amazingg what luts do you use for color grading

[@emmettdixon]

@@sarawmb5378 no LUTs! Grade almost everything with CSTs to a get a “look”. I use Davinci’s kodak film looks sometimes

[@JasmineCoates]

What microphone do you use?

[@emmettdixon]

Zoom H1n

[@souhaillokman6619]

Love the A-roll colour grade, is this shot on Sony Fx3?

[@emmettdixon]

I love you

[@D_O_M_A_]

Just found your channel and subbed. You have a nice style, just fyi this mic/ audio set up is not working at all, its panning all over in headphones and popping on your p's, no consistency with distance to you mouth so volume goes up and down. Don't mean to be an ass just thought you should know, its really awful and hard to listen to.

[@emmettdixon]

Will be fixed next video! Thank you for the feedback

[@D_O_M_A_]

@@emmettdixon really enjoyed the video though. I was on headphones so maybe it stood out more. Looking forward to more videos ❤️

[@emmettdixon]

@@D_O_M_A_ thanks for the support !
