In this video I go over why you should be filming your interviews with two or more cameras and how to set them up so they can look as good and work as well as they did in Documentary films like Micheal Jordans “The Last Dance”

Just today I was scrubbing through footage from over two months ago and I'd completely overlooked that I brought along my tiny HD camcorder "just because, why not" and it had some alternate views that will add a lot of interest visually to the main camera shot in 4K. It wasn't planned that way because this was a sculptor who turns the work frequently and I can't predict or interrupt what he's going to do. He won't know ahead either. It's art.

Thanks Brian, some great pointers for interview setups. 😎😎

@leonspinks Год назад

Brian, nice video. This all makes sense and thanks for breaking it down and making it so simple to understand. My question is how all this gets complicated if you have two people and three cameras. Now, where is everyone supposed to look so you aren't crossing lines and what is the best way to compose the shots? You've got one wide and two closer shots, but which side of the closeups is the long side, and which side is the short side?

@JaredRibic 3 года назад

I've been shooting with two cameras for a while now. What I need to work on is planning who is going to be on which side of the frame, so I don't have everyone on the same side of the frame all the time. All the documentaries I really like have a great balance of interviewees on the left side and the right side of the frame.

@lightchild 4 года назад

Love it ! The only recommendation I would make is to have at least a 30degree difference in the camera set up. If they just stand next to each other it just looks like you just zoomed in. Which you can do as well if you film in 4k but delivered in 1080p. You can zoom in and create that ‘2nd’ focal length digitally. If you are using 2 cameras, have at least a 30degree difference between them :) that way it really shows that there was a second camera and you did not just zoom in

@BrianHunt 4 года назад

Great advice Lightchild, We use to do the zoom-in method but are doing more and more 4k finishes now.. maybe we need to get the new URSA Pro 12K hahaha!

@loudandclearmedia 3 года назад

@@BrianHunt A pair of Pocket 6Ks are fantastic for this. You can do zooms, key frame motion ect and still have plenty of resolution for a 4K delivery. It's literally like having 4 cameras for ~$5K

@BrianHunt 3 года назад

@@loudandclearmedia That is great! I had a 6K and 4k pocket, have gone all over to sony now but the benefit of the extra resolution on the 6K is really great.

@FenderLewis Год назад

I would beg to differ a little bit on that. If you use a second camera right next to the main one and use a faster lens, you are getting different compression in the background that makes it not looked just punched in

@Joe99 Год назад

The angles of the 2 cams on the Last Dance are so close it seems. The main difference is the bokeh.

@portersblackboard Год назад

This is the video that I have been looking for. I do online tutorials and like the idea of a second camera to break up the segments when I am talking a lot. It kind of looks like you are just zooming in but because of the change it the background blur it feels much more sophisticated without being jarring. I like the subtly of this technique much more than just zooming in or the side angle shot.

@adsertheblade 3 года назад

Brian, thanks for the great video. I've been noticing that it feels a bit strange when a person is talking directly to the camera but is positioned on the third. The lack of symmetry and empty space (even if filled with props) doesn't quite work for me. I find that composition works better when the B camera is at an angle, and the subject is not looking directly into it. As a sort of compromise, you also get the portrait style composition where you have the subject pointing away from the camera, but looking into it. The trouble with that one for me is that nobody actually talks like that, it's an unnatural position. I guess my conclusion is: centre shot when looking into the camera, and in the third when looking past the camera, probably at a closer focal length. Am I talking nonsense, or does it make sense? Thanks

I like the 3rd camera tip for emotions. GREAT tip.

@BrianHunt 3 года назад

Thanks Anson & Co.!

@charlieross-BRM 3 года назад

Those emotion reveals can aid some stories. Some guests feel embarrassed if they paused and made a face and want to do it again but those are tell tales of being genuine so I think it makes the audience connection. I'm just talking about some little mouth twist or eyes up to the ceiling for a second while they are searching for words; not exploiting someone's emotions.

@loudandclearmedia 3 года назад

Me too, though unless you know your subject is going to be wringing their hands you'd need another crew member to capture it.

@jessedameron7985 Год назад

Ok. So, if I only have 1 camera that can shoot 4K and I want to fake 2 cameras. Should I have the person look directly into the camera and then use post-production to punch in and punch out? I ask because at the end of this video, you mentioned getting the cameras as tightly together as possible. But in the the beginning of this video, you said to film from 2 different angles.

Why not just one and have the camera focus on the persons speaking? Isn't it less distracting with less angle swaps or those close-ups that feel like a slap?

Thanks! You shoot with lighting on either side depending on the mood. There’s no way of “properly lighting “ a documentary. Narrative is a different matter

@speakerscoach Год назад

do both cameras have to be the same type?

@antonytalia Год назад

It has to be atleast a 30 degree difference in camera position + different focal length to avoid it looking like a jump cut.

I have been using three cameras in my interviews. It’s a lot more work however, it’s nice to have a third angle. One wide angle 24mm, one tight shot 135mm and one 35mm on the side of the subject sitting on a slider that is parallax around the subject.

@BrianHunt 3 года назад

That's an awesome method!

@95Ldunc 3 года назад

@@BrianHunt this is the video I shot using an 85mm, 35mm and a 50mm working on a slider. I shot it all simultaneously and edited the multi camera angles in Premiere Pro. Check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KPNWekVy0eA.html

@CayeDaws Год назад

All this does is make things more distracting and try hard as if you are not confident in your material so you use the different camera angles to compensate

@greggh 6 месяцев назад

Sorry. Those cuts look pretty jumpy. Would be much better, and come across as more authentic without them. But thank you for this video. It definitely helps beginning videographers learn what not to do.
