Thread: lighting an interview in a small room

    Default lighting an interview in a small room

    I am working on a interview deal for a video for crowd funding. I don't really have access to anything right now but a really small room in my house to film this in. I've "decorated" it to look "production" like.. and now I'm trying to light it.. I'm shooting into the corner to make the room seem bigger.. but not sure how to light this, right now i'm getting some pretty bad shadows.

    You can put some lights on some furnitures? put them so they light on the ceiling so they will bounce the light automatically. Try to put one behind the person talking facing a wall to counter-balance and 2 others left/right bouncing on the ceiling. These 500w halogen would probably work well, unless you'd be in a too small room. Make sure you get at least 12-18 inches around the light to make sure nothing gets burned.
    Would be the time to try that high-temp paint on the lights' glasses. That's how I'd do that. Could you take some pictures of your room, we could help you better maybe!
    I DO IT BECAUSE I CAN. I CAN BECAUSE I WANT TO. I WANT TO BECAUSE YOU SAID I COULDN'T.
