Amazing video. I make documentaries for the BBC and interviews are huge part of what we do, all these tips are great. Your interview set ups are amazing. Might have to pick up one of those Zhiyun’s for a back light!
Awesome video, very informative! I've found getting ear muff covers for the headphones I'm using helps to prolong their life after they start getting worn out
How long do you usually have to shoot your interviews? Often times I'm a crew of one and we only have a hour to shoot an interview that includes set up time and interview.
In my opinion, hugely uncommon. Many interview videos miss it entirely, and can’t think of another one that leads with it! I’m a sound guy, so maybe I’m a bit sensitive to it, but I appreciated the importance you put on the topic a lot!
Another tip is to mirror your shot and zoom in - looks like a completely different camera and no need to reshoot! Only works if there’s no words or patterns in shot that would make it obvious that it’s mirrored. Great video! I’d never actually thought about making sure the wardrobe contrasts with the background, I’ve probably worn white in front of a white bg way too many times! 😅
Sorry, but I think that is a bad idea for two reasons. One: it will look weird because hardly any face is perfectly symmetrical. Two: you are breaking the 180-degree rule and can therefore cause confusion.
@@KofiYeboah 😂😂 I’m doing some new stuff today around interviews at a wedding so watching this got me inspired. You know how it is, good old “am I even good” creeping in just before a shoot 😂
Very funny! You said something with the word, out, in your sentence. It sounded more like oat. And I was wondering is that Canadian accent? Until I looked at your About page. Yup! Canadian! And I caught it only on that one word. No wonder you seem so competent. You're a fucking Canadian! LMAO. You guys are good. RamyRAD
Hello, thanks a lot for the video! I will do a two people sitting RUclips podcast interview using one camera. Should I get 16mm f/1.4 or 2.8? Thanks !!!
That keyframe fake slider tip is CLUTCH! I often use the 4K punch-in strategy, but definitely going to implement this keyframe fake slider tip on my next shoot Thursday. Great value video!
Hey, what would you say for single cameras set up by multiple people in different locations as to why a particular person should win a nomination? would you place them like a talking head?
Realmente es un gran trabajo el que haz hecho. Muchas gracias amigo Kofi. Cuando yo vaya a EEUU o tú estés en Chile, te invitaré una cerveza. Saludos enormes desde Santiago de Chile (Latin-America).
I liked this video, thought it was easy to listen to and had good information. I usually use my light to fill from natural light rather than add to it at a lower intensity, but thats artistic choice!
I saw one of your videos back in the day and thought it was killer. Must have been on a youtube account I don't frequent. I've since rediscovered and don't understand how you don't have more subscribers. The value you bring is awesome. Thank you.
Really good video and I appreciate your thoughts on the FX30, which I am researching. However, this is tough for me to call this a way to film “multicam”. I was intrigued by the title and wanted to check it out. But not to split hairs…..I usually consider a multicam shoot a way to actually sync the cams. And there is no way to “sync” in post when doing interviews like this. I would say, just film in 4k and maybe have your iPhone as a super wide and away B Cam to cut away with. Maybe even make that B cam black and white or something. Again, nice video. 👍🏻
Superb tips! I understand the value you dropped in this video and people pay so much money to learn this in college and you dropped this for free. Subscribed, great content sir.
Can't tell you how helpful all your videos have been. I'm doing simple videos for my mortgage business but branching out into doing videos for others because of what I've learned watching you. So helpful and to the point. Love it man, thanks!
Not sure how you got only 10k subs, the production quality as well as value provided is really top notch. Thanks for these tips and all the best for future videos!
I've been preparing for that type of job for my own content but this is great and as a side hustle. I'm a musician, so the audio part is always under control cause I have portable solutions.
The hard part for me is describing to your client that it will take an hour or so of setup and reshoots and b roll shots and all of that for 5-10 minute video. They often think it’s going to take 10 minutes. And you are doing like 4 jobs in one and it’s still not enough for them since they don’t know how long editing can take etc. 😂
Honestly, I just frame it as a means to an end to have he best product possible, plus , Im assuming you already got your non refundable deposit, they stuck with you bruh
Great video Kofi 👏 I have the opportunity in two weeks to interview a legendary German singer shortly before the sound check at a concert for a documentary. I actually want to make the sound through my Sennheisser lav microphones, but I have problems getting a clear sound in combination with the FX6 🥴 I think I entered something wrong in the menu setting in the FX6 🤔 how are your audio settings with the FX6 in such a case? best cinematic greetings from germany
Great insight. Another thing to add is that while keeping your camera shooting to the side and you the interviewer is in front of the subject, do well to sit down while doing that. That allows the subject to have an eye level that doesn't seem like he or she is looking up.
This content is the purest gold I’ve found today
Thanks 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Like a clumsy jeweller, you’re dropping gems.
Ahah we out here !
Best comment
Haha I may steal this line. But he’s right
Stealing this😂
You’re too clean like.lasagna😂
LOVE the "fake slider" technique!
Works like a charm 🙏🏾
One of the first videos like this to be engaging throughout with ample knowledge. I watched all from start to finish. Thanks Kofi!
You’re welcome !
Really enjoyed this video. Really like you calm demeanor. Good job.
Thanks !
Shooting my first interview in a few days with a limited budget. This is solid gold!
Hope this ends up helping on set !
@@KofiYeboah hope it does too! Keep doing what you do man. New sub here 🔥
Thanks man !
Amazing video. I make documentaries for the BBC and interviews are huge part of what we do, all these tips are great. Your interview set ups are amazing. Might have to pick up one of those Zhiyun’s for a back light!
Ahah thanks ! Give it a shot !
Thanks for doing this im just about to get started finishing up filmschool in a couple months and I have a sony fs5ii
Oh that’s unreal! Can’t wait to see what you do 🙏🏾
Ya this guy def earned my sub, I even hit the bell. Which I rarely do. Great video my man! This is gonna help me a lot 💪🏽
Thank you! Glad it will 🔥
Awesome video, very informative!
I've found getting ear muff covers for the headphones I'm using helps to prolong their life after they start getting worn out
I’ll try that !!
So much knowledge in one video, thanks for sharing!
You’re most welcome 🙏🏾
This was extremely helpful thank you my man!
You’re welcome !
Superb video Kofi, incredibly detailed and useful. I've liked and subscribed.
Thanks !!
I don’t know why I haven’t been using key frames to simulate a slight slider effect 🤦🏻♂️. Thanks for the idea. Keep up the great work!
Happy to help!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It works best when you shoot in a higher resolution than the one you will be editing in your sequence. You have so much “space” for those pans.
Comes on clutch !
Thank you for sharing your setup and knowledge. stupid question. Does the 40w powerful enough for hair light??
It does okay in many situations, no where near sun power though.
Not a filmmaker but this was quality information! 👏🏾
Ayy happy it helped!
Awesome tips!
Thanks !!
Great information
Thank you !
Great Video... thank youuuU ❤🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾no problem
Yessirrr 🔥🔥🔥🔥
How long do you usually have to shoot your interviews? Often times I'm a crew of one and we only have a hour to shoot an interview that includes set up time and interview.
Start to finish it took me like 90 mins ? Set up was 20, interview was 40 ish , the remainder was b roll 👍🏾🫡

I am a new artist from Ghana, i wanna work with you
Sorry! I don’t do music videos !
Gotta sink the hook earlier in your videos. 3/4 way into your video, and I’m still waiting for the one camera hack.
just so we're clear, what was teh title of the video?
I can't believe it! Someone actually covered audio in their video tutorial! With good tips as well! Well done, great video Kofi! I've sub'd!
Wait is that uncommon ?
In my opinion, hugely uncommon. Many interview videos miss it entirely, and can’t think of another one that leads with it! I’m a sound guy, so maybe I’m a bit sensitive to it, but I appreciated the importance you put on the topic a lot!

Sorry, but I think that is a bad idea for two reasons. One: it will look weird because hardly any face is perfectly symmetrical. Two: you are breaking the 180-degree rule and can therefore cause confusion.
for viewers' sake - don't mirror, please )
Yes👍 but its works well only on close ups.
I stumbled on this video like someone who stubs their toe against the corner of a chair, but there was no pain. Thanks man
Such awesome content as always bro
No problem my guy!
I do not do interviews but I do own the FX30 and was curious, learned a couple of things though that I might be able to use.
That’s unreal that it helped 🙏🏾
Great, the meat 🍖 off the video is at the end 🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️
The lav is the backup. Not the boom.
A well placed boom in an interview is always going to be better than the lav.
if i could only get one lens for interviews like this example w/ an FX30, which lens would you recommend?
Probably a mid range zoom 👍🏾
Loved the tips man, we just started our channel and are trying to do some veteran interviews as part of the channel content.
That’s awesome ! Thank you 🙏🏾🫡
Earned a new sub from me today man. This is lovely value for any stage of the production journey!
Thanks homie ! I appreciate it
What titles/lower third are these?
Amazing videos, i had couple of years working with a a6500 run and go style, but now i invested on new gear to bring quality ups, great tips.
Great to hear! Hope it helps 😁😁😁
Man just found your channel. Love what you’re doing. Easy to follow and understand. 🔥🔥🔥

Hey, what would you say for single cameras set up by multiple people in different locations as to why a particular person should win a nomination? would you place them like a talking head?
I feel like thats a creative decision, im not entirely sure I can answer that in a comment haha
This is great info and has helped a lot! 💯💯💯 how can I find your lighting vid

Ahah i gotta earn my stripes and I’m totally okay with that 🙏🏾🙏🏾
What a tutorial! Amazing bro :)
Thanks !!
Nice, many of us just use a teleprompter for consistent answers for multiple retakes while moving the camera into different angles.
That’s also a good way to go!
Kofi, dope video! Remember seeing you in Wills vids, cool to stumble on your channel
Hey thanks for coming through 🙏🏾
Saw the title for the video and realised what kind of person I am… I saw multicam not multiple cameras
Ahah 😂 happens
This video was great! Very informative and helpful
Glad you liked it !

The videos do emulate the result do what you’d get from Multicam , which in essence is an interview with multiple angles, thanks 👍🏾
This is golden 🔥 been seeing your vids for a while but now I’m a believer lol
Aha converting one person at a time 🫡

I wouldn't recommend a shotgun for interior audio, better is a cardioid or super-cardioid.
