My Minimalist Outdoor Interview Setup

[@timdanyo898]

I love the fact you emphasize fast and light weight gear. Conserving time and energy is key.

[@CurrenSheldon]

100% agree - once you have the essentials, great work is often inversely related to the amount of gear you try to handle on your own.

Thanks. That is very helpful and inspiring. I like shoot most of my talking head videos outside for my African farming channel, and this will really help me get a setup that will up our quality. Cheers 🎉

[@CurrenSheldon]

Glad to help! Looking forward to seeing your updated setups

[@Flamamacue]

Another super minimalist setup is a big translucent umbrella in place of the scrim. One stand, super light, packs small, set up is about as quick as possible

[@CurrenSheldon]

Love that - Going to try that out.

[@jacksonpetit1983]

This is also a a good fast setup I had considered. Any concerns on a windy day?

[@Cove_Media]

I liked the idea of bringing out a small light just to create a catch light. I would have never thought about that!

[@CurrenSheldon]

Anything that reflects a little catch-light in the interviewees eye will do the trick!

[@ProduktFilm]

Thank you! Love those minimalist light setups. So practical.

[@CurrenSheldon]

Glad you like them!

[@allout_fun]

This is miles amazing and educative in just 8 mnts. I love it

[@CurrenSheldon]

Good video. Some nice tips for people who do outdoor interviews often.

[@CurrenSheldon]

Glad to help! Outdoor interviews can be a challenge.

[@WillieShawFilms]

Bro you're on a run. I love it!

[@CurrenSheldon]

Making a big push to close out my first year on KZbin - been fun to focus on cranking out some videos. Also, had some backlog, as you can tell from the hot June weather in this video - haha.

[@WillieShawFilms]

@@CurrenSheldon Love it! You're on your way man! On a side note, what are those clamps on top of your stands called?

[@CurrenSheldon]

@@WillieShawFilms Can't remember the exact ones I have, but these seem to be the exact same thing: bhpho.to/3Zn6wpz

[@CurrenSheldon]

Unless you're talking about the more heavy-duty clamps, then those are from Impact: bhpho.to/4g1xOHv

[@LE-GUND]

Is there a “boom arm” component in top of light stand?

[@CurrenSheldon]

Yep! I love these stands: bhpho.to/3OxE2D6 - good Black Friday sale too.
