goro toshima Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 do you think it's blue backdrop with kicker coming up from down below? or is it some sort of blue screen with kicker lighting from behind the screen? thanks for any suggestions... http://link.aetv.com/services/link/bcpid14.../bctid145260273 goro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chris Keth Posted October 15, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted October 15, 2008 He doesn't have any kind of kicker on him. It looks to me like they sat him in his house, which has blue curtains. They put a small light on the wall to create that gradient behind the plant. They pulled the curtain shut so it's a backlit block of color. Then I think they just have a kino or a tungsten unit with a chimera pretty much beside camera and a foot or 2 above his head. That said, it's a pretty boring interview setup, IMO. One can do much better, even with small kit and little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry i can't seem to get the link for these videos). thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Pretty basic setup, frontal key light, some fill perhaps, and a 3/4 backlight up high. There's probably a small unit on the floor pointed up at the bluescreen behind the interviewees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dzyak Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 do you think it's blue backdrop with kicker coming up from down below?or is it some sort of blue screen with kicker lighting from behind the screen? thanks for any suggestions... http://link.aetv.com/services/link/bcpid14.../bctid145260273 goro It's a blue backdrop with an unceremonious light blasting a hot spot behind the subject. It must be fairly close because of the rapid falloff. The lighting on all of the "talent" isn't great as it's fairly flat with little backlight rimming them. But, every lighting example is a choice. Maybe this is what the Director of this project asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's that much thought put into it. It's just your basic interview stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
