I was the DP for a short documentary film. We shot 5 interviews in one small room in one day. Had to make each interview have a different background and look. Shot this with Two Sony FX6's and prime glass. I also was in charge of sound. VERY sensitive content for interviews. VERY tight schedule for the day under high pressure.
