how to get a moody-looking interview The Granite Gaffer 2022-12-29 | Did you know that changing where your key light is placed can dramatically affect the mood of your interview?I'm back with another installment in my 3-point interview series - today we're rotating a light around a subject so you can see the effect this has.Rigging note: The rotating "rig" I built for this is just a c-stand with an Aputure 60x into LS60 softbox that's underslung using a knuckle head. I'm powering this off a v-mount battery to make the rotation easier, but this is adding a lot of weight to the end which is why I also have 75lbs of sandbag on the legs of this stand. Don't forget about the dirt!!---As usual, the diagram for this setup is on my Instagram, so make sure to check there if you're curious how I lit this with only one light!And lastly, this next month I'll be breaking down my thoughts about all the parts of an interview on a biweekly basis, so be sure to follow me so you don't miss out!#interviewtips #filmlighting #gaffer-------------------------------------------------LEARN HOW I LIT THIS VIDEO-------------------------------------------------instagram.com/p/CmwWX0GJPWn----------------------CONTACT ME ---------------------- view my portfolio: tylertrepod.comfollow me on instagram: instagram.com/thegranitegaffer----------------------- DISCLAIMERS----------------------- - Some of the links in my video descriptions are affiliate links, which means that qualifying purchases will help financially support this channel at no extra cost to you.
