I had the pleasure of spending a day with Sky News presenter Millie Clode. We were shooting some informational videos for Littlewoods.co.uk. Millie is a great presenter to work with and was professional thoughout the shoot. Here is an example of one of the finished videos, post-production was completed by Red Frog in Manchester. The shoot was on a Sony EX3 with a camera mounted autocue.
We shot the main pieces to camera on a white scoop at Greyspace studios in Liverpool. I used a variety of tungsten lamps on the scoop, achieving an even illumination on the background. To light Millie I used another 2kw Arri tungsten fresnel for the key, shooting through a 6 x 6 half silk & 1/4 CTO. A 1kw fresnel shooting through 4 x4 half spun was used as fill and a 650w fresnel as a backlight.
