Fifa bluescreen timelapse set up

Back to work with a bluescreen and autocue interview set up for Fifa. Why bluescreen and not greenscreen? Well, the bluescreen set up simply matched Fifa’s brand identity better – so we didn’t even need to composite out the blue, although I did try and keep it evenly lit.

Behind the Scenes set up

Camera – Sony FS7 with TC back. Shot in Slog 3.

Autocue – Eyedirect autocue

Lens – Fujinon 18-55mm at f/2.8

Key Light – Large dome light (Aputure)

Fill light – Cineflex XL light

Backlight – Dedolight

Bluescreen – pop up bluescreen with x2 Lightpanel Astras evenly lighting the bluescreen. I used a pop-up black/white reflector behind so light from behind the screen didn’t create shadows.

Studio Timelapse BTS

Our studio timelapse BTS was filming at Ranch Studio Scotland in Edinburgh today for People’s Postcode Lottery video interviews. Similar job to a couple of weeks ago minus a defective Sony FS7 – and a Sony FS5 in its place. Since it was quite a tight forward set up Guy (our Soundie) and I took the change to shoot some comparison footage in the Sony FS5 Cine gamma profile.

We used our own lighting equipment and video cameras to match a series of other interviews.

A Camera: Sony FS5  with Samyang 50mm prime at f/2.0

B camera: Sony FS5 with Canon 70-200mm at 85mm f/2.8

Keylight: x2 CineFlex XL kit includes Softbox and grid 5500°K

Backlight: LightPanel Astra with grid

Kickerlight: Dedolight with Full CTB

Background lights: Aputure LS C300D Mark 2 onto white wall set to low power with x2 ND gels

Filming at Ranch Studio Scotland in Edinburgh today for People’s Postcode Lottery video interviews. We set up an Eyedirect so the talent can look at the director while looking straight down the lens of the Sony FS7. The Ranch Studio is a 9m x 6m studio space with an infinity cove. We used our own lighting equipment and video cameras to match a series of other intimate interviews with award-nominees.

A Camera: Sony FS7 with Samyang 50mm prime at f/2.0

B camera: Sony FS5 with Canon 70-200mm at 85mm f/2.8

Keylight: x2 CineFlex XL kit includes Softbox and grid 5500°K

Backlight: LightPanel Astra with grid

Kickerlight: Dedolight with Full CTB

Background lights: Aputure LS C300D Mark 2 onto white wall set to low power with x2 ND gels
