Previous Clientele

I'm JJ and I'm formerly the Director of Photography for Twitter.

I'll be breaking down

everything about my approach to editing a talking head interview.

Producing a talking head interview is a fundamental skill for any cinematographer to have as it's the foundation for corporate, product, and testimonial videos.

In other words, on-camera interviews are needed all the time.

And they pay.

You’ll learn the following:

Selecting the best sound bites from subjects

Crafting a concise video from a a long interview

File management to ensure you maintain your sanity

The complete workflow from importing/ingesting to client review and ultimately final delivery

This is me ensuring Alicia Keys looks and feels great right before a roll.

This is the final video.

If you want to make money in producing video, doing interviews is a fundamental skill to have.

While the subject is just sitting in front of the camera, there is a lot of things on the backend that need to be done to make the final video look perfect.
