Thank you Jill, Very much appreciated.
Our pleasure Robert. Thanks for reading/viewing!
I loved the video and was most impressed with the lighting. I would like to know some of the tecknical aspects. What camera was it shot on, what was the recording format, and what lenses were used? I hope you can share these details witth me.
Hi Robert thanks for your question and for the compliment about this video. It was shot on Canon Markii. Lens 70 –200mm , 50mm, 24-105mm. As for lighting, the video team made sure to use the window source as the main key light. Then they used a fill so the right side of the subject's face wasn’t so dark. They also put a soft light on the background of the interview scene to give it more of a pop.
Additionally, the B&H video team is currently working on a behind the scenes shoot (coming soon to a blog post near you….. :) , so you'll be able to see how they shoot first hand. Stay tuned and thanks again for reading!
That video sucked! I waited the entire 20 minutes to hear about even the most minir of technical procedures, F-Stop? Diffusers? Side mount on tripod? Nothing. Thanks for wasting my time while you stroked this ontrick pony. All the shots were from direcrly above!
Wow, someone got a case of the Mondays... Nothing beats trail an error...
