We are Witnesses - Short Documentary Interview series 2016- Youtube
*These videos are excellent examples of what a sit-down interview will sound like under ideal circumstances recorded with an overhead boom microphone*
Short narrative
First We Feast
Food Skills (nearly every episode from “Sushi Master” to “The Perfect Upside Down”)
Some of my favorite episodes:
Casa Della Mozzarella — Tan Hot Pot — Lucali Pizza — Charles Pan Fried Chicken
Hot Ones - Eddie Huang— Joel Embiid —Tyra Banks— Joji—Liam Payne
Hot Ones is a great example of a double boom interview setup in a studio. Lavs on talent for backup and to capture the ‘off camera’ moments at the end of an interview.
Sean in the Wild - Impossible Burger w/ Anthony Fantano — Binging with Babish — Burt Kreischer — Prince St Pizza — Buzzfeed Worth it — Bon Appetit Nachos — Kris Wu @ Mr Bing
Burger Show - CT road trip — Brad Leone
A lot of these First We Feast videos are great examples of what is possible for sit-down interviews in noisy environments. We often shot in working kitchens and restaurants that would not shut down for our production. A few selections of worst case scenario locations that all turned out fine:
Food Skills -Lions Tiger’s and Square’s - Open doors interview on the corner of 23rd and 8th
Sean in the Wild - Perfect Steak with Angie Mar - Noisiest kitchen
Sean in the Wild - Deep dish vs. NYC - This was a nightmare that still turned out just fine. This was the hottest day of the year, fridges running, fan on, kitchen working, and all the sounds of the city coming through off camera floor to ceiling open windows to let the breeze in.
JG Melon & Peter Luger - boom only interviews in a working kitchen, starting 1:43-3:00 and 7:53-8:40
Complex
Sneaker Shopping — Mahershala Ali — Roger Federer — Omari Hardwick — Odell Beckham Jr.
Whistle Sports No days off
Commercials & Corporate
Beachbody 2B mindset campaign- 2018*
The Zicam and 2B mindset spots are good examples of what is possible for interview setups in non-ideal shooting situations. Zicam was recorded a bad sound stage treated with sound blankets near talent, Beachbody does not have the same treatment, but music helps to cover audible traffic from outside. Recorded entirely with overhead boom mics.
