I had the chance to shoot a Today Show<\/a> interview with HGTV<\/a> stars, Chip<\/a> and Joanna Gaines<\/a>. For those of you who may not know, I used to be the Director of Photography on \u201cFixer Upper.” \u00a0I left the show after we finished shooting season three. Since then, I\u2019ve kept in touch with Chip and Jo. As soon as I found out I was going to be working with them again, I sent Jo a text. We were all pretty excited about the mini reunion.<\/p>\n

We had tons of space to work with. It made lighting this interview a breeze.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We set up for the interview at the Silos. They gave us a great big room to work with. The room even had shiplap! I used one Canon C300 for a two-shot of Chip and Jo. The other C300 was on a single-shot of Jenna Bush Hager<\/a>.\u00a0 I used one 5D for an \u201cover the shoulder\u201d shot of Chip and Jo and the other 5D was on a super wide shot of the entire room. The room had so much natural light coming in that I only needed to use a couple Lite Panels and a 400w Kino Flo to light the interview.<\/p>\n

After the interview we headed to the roof top deck to do a \u201cwalk and talk.\u201d We ended the day with some B-roll of Chip and Jo tossing Magnolia Homes t-shirts and hats to fans below.\u00a0 It was so much fun to be working with Chip and Jo again.\u00a0 I also had a blast working with Jenna Bush Hager. She was so down to earth and very professional.<\/p>\n

The Odyssey 7Q plus makes for a great field monitor too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I spent the last hour of the day transferring footage to the producer\u2019s hard drive and packing up my gear. The day went by really fast. I can\u2019t wait to check out this piece on The Today Show.<\/p>\n
