Still or motion, it's all in the lighting

Lighting is important whether you're doing still photography for companies and magazines, or video for those same companies and organizations. While I use studio flash for my still work, video means a combination of LED and incandescent.  But positioning of those lights for portraits or interviews calls for the same set of skills and experience.  Of course video means a whole lot more than just lighting.  Audio is vital, as is working with those being interviewed to get a natural, composed presentation.

I recently interviewed several people in the Detroit area for the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) for a Service to Children award program video.  Here's a sample from those interviews.
