Interviews are the foundation of video and television production, and are essential to almost every type of program. For today’s high definition productions, the quality of interview lighting and the overall “look” of the setup is more critical than ever.
Regardless of your budget, what type of camera you use, what kind of video you’re shooting, or how much time you have to set up, there’s really no excuse for not consistently shooting great-looking interviews.

But shooting great-looking interviews is NOT just about lighting. Lighting is only one piece of the puzzle. This 90-minute instructional DVD has been produced by well-known instructor, Doug Jensen, to teach anyone how to use camera placement, lighting, composition, depth-of-field, exposure, and white balance to create great-looking interviews.
This comprehensive video will show you what gear you need, what you do NOT need, and how to bring all the elements of shooting interviews together to achieve excellent results.

INDEPENDENT AND UNBIASED: This Master Class is a completely independent production by Vortex Media. It is not sponsored, endorsed, approved, or influenced by any lighting equipment manufacturer. You’ll get straightforward, unbiased information and professional advice based on Doug Jensen’s decades of experience—not a marketing presentation.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Doug Jensen, a veteran director of photography, cinematographer, and educator, has created more than two dozen Sony camcorder training videos and books. Doug doesn’t simply tell you what a feature does. He explains why it matters, when you should use it, and how to use it effectively in real-world production. He also shares his favorite custom settings, professional best practices, advanced techniques, and dozens of tips and tricks developed from decades of experience behind the camera. Think of it as having a private, one-on-one training session with Doug Jensen—without the expense or inconvenience of hiring him for personal instruction.
