Great interview lighting is essential to any production. Regardless of your budget or what kind of camera you have, there's just no excuse for not shooting the kind of excellent looking interviews that you see on the best network news-magazine programs.
But, as you'll see, good interview lighting doesn't require expensive equipment. You can shoot network quality interviews with a light kit that costs less than $1500 to put together -- if you know what to buy and how to use it.
"How to Setup, Light, & Shoot Great Looking Interviews" is a hands-on, practical guide for television and video cameramen of all abilities. It will teach you all the fundamentals and advanced techniques you need to know for lighting great looking interviews with nothing more than a basic light kit.

Highly recommended. I've seen lots of videos on this stuff, and this is the best I've seen.
Put together very well and easy to understand. You are shown many examples of major news stations making crappy film with poor light. There are diagrams, camera tips, and just about anything you need to know for lighting an interview.
This is a well produced guide to increasing the production value of interviews. Anyone who has ever seen a documentary ruined by poorly shot interviews will appreciate this video. It only covers sit-down interviews that take place inside, though. It would be nice, if there are any future additions to this line, to see information on outdoor interviews, walk and talks, unavoidable small offices and other challenging situations. All in all, this is an excellent introduction to shooting interviews.
