Great discussion. It’s helped me think through what I’m going to do.

I can see that in most situations you wouldn’t want to shoot doubles. My project is a geared towards people who have a marriage on the rocks. So I’ll have several couples that have walked through similar situations and have recovered using the presented techniques. So it makes sense to have the couple together. Actually I’m thinking that I’ll interview the couple separate for the beginning of the session where they would talk about how bad their situation was and then towards the end when the host presents solutions to the problem go to the couple on a double talking about their results. I’m going to shoot with two cameras, as it turns out I have access to two of the same, so they will cut nicely.

I like the tip on the wall angles, that makes a lot of sense. That’s one of those things that adds a subtle difference.

thanks again,

Great suggestions guys, actually I was just thinking about how to shoot the two people. I haven’t even thought about lighting them. Thanks a bunch. I like the ideas of using singles or doubles for the key to get them both with the same light.

How would you handle a back light? I’m thinking that I could use 2 lights and barn door them so there isn’t spill on the other person.

Speaking of back lights, what are you thoughts on their usage? It seems more like today I see the golden halo, light at the crown of the head. I prefer the light to be on the head and fall on the shoulders a bit.
thanks again,
Kevin

I wondered if that might be it, though I don’t see the drift in the capture window. I have a TVOne DV 2001. It is a few years old.
thanks
