Nothing drives a story forward as a voice. That's why a lot of my projects rely on interviews.
There is a flow, mood and energy in a conversation, you follow the script, you improvise, a brief saying can open up totally new topics. All of this can't be recreated if something goes wrong.
A pre written script can not be underestimated. I’ll help you research and write the script if needed.
Location, audio and lighting conditions are super important for the final look and feel. Therefore I always scout and test the location before the actual shoot takes place.
Sometimes the subject sits in an controlled set, sometimes they are on the run. I always kit them with appropriate mics to get prime audio and an as natural conversation as possible.
I always film interviews with two cameras. That way I can make jump-cuts in the edit and get a tight and seamless dialog in the end.
