Overview

I served as Director of Photography for five episodes of this interview series. We utilized a prelight day to dial in the look and ensure the lighting remained consistent across all angles. I managed a four-camera setup, overseeing two operators on fixed positions while personally operating a roaming camera to capture reaction shots and unique angles of the guests and host.
