Great tips, Jay! As someone who occasionally does interviews as part of a larger project, this is a great reference guide to help me improve.
Glad you found it helpful!
Awesome content and advice. As an editor, DIRECTORS : PLEASE take heed: When questioning your subject, if you are not part of the interview, be sure that the person you're interviewing incorporates the subject of your question into their answer. Avoid their use of pronouns. If you ask "Tell me about the Maple"... and they say, "it's so large and colorful".... make them repeat their response to say "The Maple is so large and colorful". I can't tell you how many hours of unusable dialogue I've cut because the reference to the subject of the question is lost between the interviewer and the interviewee.
Very true. Thanks for sharing!
This has honestly been the best video on interviewing I’ve seen in 2020. The wealth of knowledge is just so encouraging especially when it’s not directed at selling gear or set at a certain demographic. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your interviews!
This is so informative thank you so much I'm a media student and I'm making a documentary as a graduation project, this gave me all the information I need before I start shooting
Excellent tips. I've been shooting interviews with all sorts of people - celebs, actors, sportsmen, politicians, you name it - for almost 30 years. These are solid gold tips here and agree with all of it. Well presented too!
Good to hear. Thanks for the compliment!
The best interview tips video I've found! Going to be putting this into practice now.
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your interview shoot!
Finally, a 12 step program I can actually follow
LOL, wishing you success in your 12 steps!

You are so welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for this video! I am starting my career as a freelancer and, as many of us at the beginning, it's hard to invest in a team or in a bunch of equipment, so these tips are key to making the video look as professional as possible. I learned a lot watching this, thanks again!
You're so welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Hey JP, just found this. I am starting to do interviews/panels. I realize it's not easy if you don't know what you're doing. Good video, great info. Thanks for the help.

Great video! I'm putting a setup together for on location interviews but for internal this is great as well.
The audio capture is tricky, would be great if you can do an addendum that lays out the steps for your audio setup. Cheers!
Great suggestion. We will work on that.
Very informative and comprehensive
Glad you found it worthwhile. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and keep on clickin!
Amazing video!!!!!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
I like to use a shorter lens for more dynamics in the camera perspective, but I see where you are going with the longer lens. Other than that, a great video with lots of very usefull tips!
Thanks for sharing your preference!
Great video. Love the translucent you’re using to soften the LED. Where do I find these?
They are in reflector kits. Here's one that works great: bhpho.to/38GhbB2
Thanks! I have to shoot a video testimonial and it's going to be in an office. I'm not skilled enough to shoot B-roll. I'm going to get an angle of their hands gesturing.
That sounds like a nice touch!
Superb!
Thanks a lot! Have a great week!
Great tips and she is absolutely gorgeous!
thank you! :)
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, JP. Thanks very much. Long-time subscriber here - always enjoy your videos. Newbie question. Does best practice suggest that you keep the cameras rolling for the entire conversation ... or ... do you stop and start after each question?
Keep the cameras rolling. You won't get your interview into a nice cadence when you start and stop.
Good job!
Thanks! Appreciate the positive feedback!
Thank you sir...
Most welcome. Thanks for watching!
Wow, some great tips here- consider me subscribed!
Welcome aboard! Appreciate the Sub! Ring the bell!
Great video! What porgram/software do you use for stop motion?
We use dragonframe for the stop motion. Good luck!
Was Surprised to hear @Junior doctor song for the intro transition!
Hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video Jay! Can you please tell me if you recorded yourself asking the questions and did you use that audio in the final video? If you recorded your questions--what equipment did you use? (For example: a Lavalier or shotgun mic)
Always a Lav and Shotgun mic. We always use both. The questions are recorded as we film but removed in editing.
@@TheSlantedLens --I know from your other videos--you ask the interviewee to repeat the questions. My question is do you ever mic the interviewer (who is off camera) and use this in your final production?
Haha loving the beard!
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!
I think the one thing that was missed is the wide shot. What is confusing for people with limited equipment is the lighting of the wide shot where it is not as crucial for detail as the close-up. What I usually see is people lighting the wide shot, then losing the quality of the light by trying to zoom in on the talent without pulling the lighting and diffusion etc. closer.
Some absolute great tips here though. It, like most things can be better with planning and this video explains very well, how and why. Very informative.
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate your insight.
What size diffuser do you uses? I am looking for a way to soften my LED
I like at least a 36" or a 48". Also try bouncing it into a piece of white foam board.
What would you advise someone in regards to their first set of equipment? I am new to the game thank you so much
Are you wanting to shoot video, still images or both?
@@TheSlantedLens both
I have a backdrop and the lights n camera is that fine
It is good to have some way to record the audio.
@@TheSlantedLens what you mean by audio you can’t hear wen you record
What do you do if the person has glasses and the lights are reflecting off the lenses?
You will have them lift up the part of their glasses that sits on their ears to change the reflective angle. And sometimes turning their head to the side a little helps.
좋아요
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
If you want as shallow dof as possible, why not 1.2, 1.4, 1.8? Those (and 2.8) are too difficult to nail focus with for me but if i really wanted blur i'd use my 85 1.4 or rent a 135 1.8.
Those are nice f-stops for shallow depth of field. Yet you need to consider your lighting.
Do you manual focus or automatic?
It depends on the camera I am using. The C70 works great for autofocus. I do use automatic with newer cameras and manual focus with older cameras.
1. Is a contradiction. Putting people on a stool might be best for on camera read but it most certainly had never been most comfortable for the subject haha.
They are actually more comfortable, unless it is an uncomfortable stool!
Got it backwards. Higher camera diminishes the subject ( looking down on them). Slightly lower camera ( angled up) puts the subject in the superior position -looking down on you.
Higher angle is usually more flattering.
I don’t understand shooting at 2.8. Subjects tend to move forward especially when adjusting, or emphasizing. Then they go out of focus. Doesn’t that happen to you???
If you place them on a stool it shouldn't happen.
As always, super solid advice! Only thing that bothered me: Her neon shirt brutally clashes with the yellow background. It really ruined the colors of the shot for me.
I guess that's a personal call. Appreciate your input!
