I stumbled on this video like someone who stubs their toe against the corner of a chair, but there was no pain. Thanks man

[@KeepitMovingTV1211]

Be too

[@nosborlliw]

This content is the purest gold I’ve found today

[@KofiYeboah]

Thanks 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@malcomshootseverything]

I can't believe it! Someone actually covered audio in their video tutorial! With good tips as well! Well done, great video Kofi! I've sub'd!

[@KofiYeboah]

Wait is that uncommon ?

[@malcomshootseverything]

In my opinion, hugely uncommon. Many interview videos miss it entirely, and can’t think of another one that leads with it! I’m a sound guy, so maybe I’m a bit sensitive to it, but I appreciated the importance you put on the topic a lot!

[@KofiYeboah]

Thanks a lot !!

[@PorshiaVonne]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video 👍🏾

[@KofiYeboah]

Thank you b

[@sharpmortgagegroup3681]

Can't tell you how helpful all your videos have been. I'm doing simple videos for my mortgage business but branching out into doing videos for others because of what I've learned watching you. So helpful and to the point. Love it man, thanks!

[@KofiYeboah]

We love to hear it !!

[@MadMonkMani]

I saw one of your videos back in the day and thought it was killer. Must have been on a youtube account I don't frequent. I've since rediscovered and don't understand how you don't have more subscribers. The value you bring is awesome. Thank you.

[@KofiYeboah]

Ahah i gotta earn my stripes and I’m totally okay with that 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@sidebusinessbloke]

Another tip is to mirror your shot and zoom in - looks like a completely different camera and no need to reshoot! Only works if there’s no words or patterns in shot that would make it obvious that it’s mirrored. Great video! I’d never actually thought about making sure the wardrobe contrasts with the background, I’ve probably worn white in front of a white bg way too many times! 😅

[@KofiYeboah]

Ahaha it’s a lil 🔑 that can help!

[@Woutermannetje]

Sorry, but I think that is a bad idea for two reasons. One: it will look weird because hardly any face is perfectly symmetrical. Two: you are breaking the 180-degree rule and can therefore cause confusion.

[@albertandco]

for viewers' sake - don't mirror, please )

[@najaff_khan]

Yes👍 but its works well only on close ups.

[@Videofilealways]

This is your ‘breakthrough’ video brother - so helpful for beginners

[@KofiYeboah]

Thank you !!

[@TailoredTechnique]

Such awesome content as always bro

[@KofiYeboah]

No problem my guy!

[@Jakereviewsall]

I do not do interviews but I do own the FX30 and was curious, learned a couple of things though that I might be able to use.

[@KofiYeboah]

That’s unreal that it helped 🙏🏾

[@hypestationtvng]

Great insight. Another thing to add is that while keeping your camera shooting to the side and you the interviewer is in front of the subject, do well to sit down while doing that. That allows the subject to have an eye level that doesn't seem like he or she is looking up.

[@pasteurguillaume5428]

I'm gonna have a 1 cam interview in 3 days and I'll definitly use your tips to make it dynamic ! This video is a blessing, thank you so much dude !

[@KofiYeboah]

Anytime !

[@LoganKingMedia]

Just wanted to say I love the channel and appreciate all the hard work!

[@KofiYeboah]

Thanks!

[@tonyfphotography]

That keyframe fake slider tip is CLUTCH! I often use the 4K punch-in strategy, but definitely going to implement this keyframe fake slider tip on my next shoot Thursday. Great value video!

[@KofiYeboah]

Thanks !!

[@danielromagnoligoncalvss]

I’ve been watching your videos for months and I’ve learned so much. Thanks for your content!

[@KofiYeboah]

My pleasure! Appreciate it homie !

[@avilionstars]

dude i learned SO much from this one video alone, thanks for putting this out for free

[@KofiYeboah]

Oh that’s fire , thanks!

This just answered all my questions in one video! Goated!!!

Absolutely!!

Man just found your channel. Love what you’re doing. Easy to follow and understand. 🔥🔥🔥 Blessings bro!

[@KofiYeboah]

Likewise mr stark! Love your wedding work man 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@JustinPorterMedia]

@@KofiYeboah 😂😂 I’m doing some new stuff today around interviews at a wedding so watching this got me inspired. You know how it is, good old “am I even good” creeping in just before a shoot 😂

[@KofiYeboah]

The best advice I ever got was “the worlds best teachers only need to be one lesson ahead of the class” Keep on moving brother, you’re doing gods work

[@dunkley7776]

Superb tips! I understand the value you dropped in this video and people pay so much money to learn this in college and you dropped this for free. Subscribed, great content sir.

[@KofiYeboah]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@DynamicLearning4u]

Nice, many of us just use a teleprompter for consistent answers for multiple retakes while moving the camera into different angles.

[@KofiYeboah]

That’s also a good way to go!

[@Guirren]

Not sure how you got only 10k subs, the production quality as well as value provided is really top notch. Thanks for these tips and all the best for future videos!

[@KofiYeboah]

Aha I’m just earning my stripes !

[@ideaplusagency]

LOVE the "fake slider" technique!

[@KofiYeboah]

Works like a charm 🙏🏾

[@gbwalther3198]

Great practical tutorial for the "one man band," sole camera operator in the real documentary world where one often also wants to go low key and get the talent to be relaxed & share what's on their heart. Thanks Kofi for all the work u put into making this & sharing it with us. Wish we had more stuff like this on you tube channels. 😎😎

[@KofiYeboah]

Thanks !!! I’ll try to keep it coming ☺️

[@ViciousXUSMC]

I liked this video, thought it was easy to listen to and had good information. I usually use my light to fill from natural light rather than add to it at a lower intensity, but thats artistic choice!

Yeah ! Like it’s not a novel idea, I just wanted to consolidate all that I know in one video hah

Kofi, I’m proud of you cos you’re real - true to your roots

Amazing video. I make documentaries for the BBC and interviews are huge part of what we do, all these tips are great. Your interview set ups are amazing. Might have to pick up one of those Zhiyun’s for a back light!

[@KofiYeboah]

Absolutely I got more on the way !

[@officialmichaelhudson]

Wow! Great point about putting key light on the same side as the window. I always thought you would put key light on opposite side to get even distribution of light on the subject

[@KofiYeboah]

Ahah I used to think so too!

Gosh Kofi, when are you touching down (Ghana). I'm following you on all platforms. Too good of a content to be true. You are literally serving as a great motivation to me. 🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@KofiYeboah]

Actually , December this year !

[@mrr_cheese]

@@KofiYeboah Wow! Anticipating greatness then. 🙌

[@Victor-Rojas]

Great tips. I noticed you were standing up during the interview. It's best practice to sit and be at eye level if the interviewee is sitting down to match your eyeline.

[@KofiYeboah]

I was actually sitting in the actual interview, the standing part was just b roll, I was entirely talking about something else ahah

[@Victor-Rojas]

@@KofiYeboah Ahhh..makes sense. Keep up the FX30 vids!

[@BetterTogetherLife]

Really good video and I appreciate your thoughts on the FX30, which I am researching. However, this is tough for me to call this a way to film “multicam”. I was intrigued by the title and wanted to check it out. But not to split hairs…..I usually consider a multicam shoot a way to actually sync the cams. And there is no way to “sync” in post when doing interviews like this. I would say, just film in 4k and maybe have your iPhone as a super wide and away B Cam to cut away with. Maybe even make that B cam black and white or something. Again, nice video. 👍🏻

[@KofiYeboah]

The videos do emulate the result do what you’d get from Multicam , which in essence is an interview with multiple angles, thanks 👍🏾

[@SpicySnafu]

Loved the tips man, we just started our channel and are trying to do some veteran interviews as part of the channel content.

[@KofiYeboah]

That’s awesome ! Thank you 🙏🏾🫡

It works best when you shoot in a higher resolution than the one you will be editing in your sequence. You have so much “space” for those pans.
