I am, for the most part, a musician and an amateur photographer. In about a week, I'm supposed to be recording an interview and acoustic session with a local band. This will be my first "real" video session, and I'm not expecting perfection, but I'd really like it to turn out quite good, as its going to be used to promote their new album.Â My equipment is: Canon Eos Rebel T3 DSLR (borrowed) Canon Rebel XTi DSLR (can't shoot video, I'll be using it for stills during the shoot) Zoom H1 Handy Recorder (borrowed) Zoom H4n Handy Recorder iMac w/ iMovie Audio interface and mics that I normally use for my music recording. My thought was to have the T3 on a tripod facing the band and me (the interviewer), and the H1 on a boom stand above it, at least for the interview part. For the performance, I was thinking probably the same thing, except I won't be in the video then, because I'll be photographing. I should probably have the T3 on autofocus (I would think?) since I won't be behind it shooting the whole time. I may use the H4n for audio, since I could then at least have vocal mics out or something, but it may not be necessary, and I think it probably would be simpler to just use the H1 for everything, unless there's a deep need for the H4n. Obviously my equipment isn't top of the line in any sense of the term, but I was wondering what advice you would have to make this session run as smoothly and professionally as possible. I'm going for an NPR Tiny Desk series kind of feel, if that helps at all. Thanks!!

Please could someone advise me the best way to light my subjects to create a less-corporate look and to create something more warmer without losing too much loss of light to help maintain video quality. ~~~~~~~~~~ The equipment I have: CANON XM2/GL2 CAMERA 2 X 40cmX60cm SOFTBOXES WITH (2x 125w 5400k ra>90 daylight bulbs) 1 X SILVER/GOLD REFLECTOR KIT REFLECTOR + STAND DYNASUN RE2018 SILVER/GOLD 70x110 on eBay (end time 18-Dec-10 15:27:47 GMT) 1 X SMALL PAR SPOT ~~~~~~~~~~ Any advice/techniques are more then welcome. This will be filmed within a hotel's meeting room which I'm guessing (but not yet checked) will be quite clean/white/brightly lit before my lighting is added/replaced.

I have been working on a feature docu-comedy (with some serious parts) that is scheduled to have its premiere at a university theatre in the area later this month. It is about 88 minutes long. It is my first feature film. Most of the interactions are with people who may not be considered real actors, but there are a couple of cameos with TV personalities. Here is a trailer/prevue: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oYd6IO-qmM">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oYd6IO-qmM</a> Thank you for reading. If you watch the trailer, thank you.

In two weeks I am flying to London to shoot interview of three persons. I have read several articles explaining setup for lights and camera, but only for one or two people. Does anyone have good suggestion how to setup interview of three people? I have two cameras with tripod, three lights: one with umbrella, one soft light /Rifa/ and one is pro-light. How to arrange people and lights with this limited equipment - I cannot take more on the board of the airplaine. Thank you for any possible advices or hints. iklipz on "That Indie Film Show â€“ interview with the Writer and Director of Juno" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/that-indie-film-show-%e2%80%93-interview-with-the-writer-and-director-of-juno#post-34494 Sun, 06 Jan 2008 20:19:53 +0000 iklipz 34494@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ "that indie fIlm show" got the chance to sit down for an in-depth interview with writer Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman of the hit film Juno, currently in theaters from Fox Searchlight. <a href="http://www.iklipz.com/MovieDetail.aspx?MovieID=a5aa788b-abad-4e35-b456-843cfdc2a60d" rel="nofollow">http://www.iklipz.com/MovieDetail.aspx?MovieID=a5aa788b-abad-4e35-b456-843cfdc2a60d</a>
