What you'll learn

A real world approach to shooting great looking interviews at any budget level. Learn how to choose a location, work with spaces that are less than ideal, and decide what creative style fits best.

-Commercial style exterior lighting setups with large grip packages
-Putting together a quality portable lighting package
-Questions to ask/what to look for when choosing a location
-Studio vs Practical locations

What you need

Students can bring their own cameras + tripods if they have them, so they can get hands on experience using the tools that they would use on paying work. There will be 1-2 cameras available for demonstration and those who do not have their own gear.

Joe was great. First of all, he's just a nice dude. More importantly, he clearly took the time to review my work ahead of time and came in with thoughtful feedback and suggestions.
