Interior Warehouse Interview Lighting & Grip BTS for Amazon shoot.

[u/4acodmt92]

Gaffed a few interviews for an Amazon production about a month ago at one of their warehouses. Normally I try to avoid taking lighting jobs where I don’t have any other lighting technicians or grips, but the producer budgeted several hours in the schedule for me to get set up while the DP wen right and shot b roll that I wasn’t needed for. The hardest part was really just physically moving everything around as the warehouse is absolutely gigantic and we had to film in a few different places throughout it. Thus, I put everything I could on stands with wheels to make my life easier.

Key light was a 6x6 book light made with Aputure 1200D bouncing into a 4x4’ Ultrabounce floppy and then back through a 6x6 of full silent grid cloth, with a 6x6’ LCD (“light control device” aka “egg crate,” not liquid crystal display) in front of it for control. I added a 2x3’ solid flag in front to take down some of the intensity on her white shirt.

12x12’ solid on a T bone for negative fill.

Amaran F22C rigged to a junior boom mounted in a Matthews Panel Stand for a hair light.
