Interviewing is Tough - A Short Film

I have a few days off from work at the moment, so I decided to make the most of my time by creating a few different short films. The first of which is a short sketch I shot over the June 15/16 weekend called "Interviewing is Tough".
I learned a lot during the process, especially in the edit. I know for a fact that the next time I shoot, I will have improved as a filmmaker considerably. This particular sketch forced me to understand how to do ADR, because the dialogue for my part was entirely ruined in the process.. so everything with my voice is done in post-production, and I can say... it will definitely be easier to just get the audio right during the filming next time!
I also learned a few interesting things about DaVinci and how to speed up the editing process, as well as how to decrease the caching time, etc.
From a tech perspective, I used the Sony FX3 camera, Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 lens, Vaxis Pure Mist 1/8 filter, the VND from Tilta Mirage, with Smallrig 120b lights and some red gels.
Overall, it was definitely worth my time. I hope you enjoy the film!
