TIP #3 FOR FILMING INTERVIEWS - PRESERVE YOUR TALENT

It’s important to keep your talent feeling relaxed and fresh for their interview. If you need to do camera and lighting tests then use someone else for that part, if possible. You can do 90% of the adjustments with a "stand in". Don’t call your talent to sit in until you are almost ready to shoot. 

Tip: Use someone that is close to the same height as your talent.
