I have added the actual feature that aired on TNT just in case you missed it to my blog: tomguilmette.com/wp/my-blog/archives/950 (Footage courtesy of TNT Sports)
I was hired as a lighting director and a director of photography by Turner to set up and shoot a sit-down interview with John Thompson Jr. and Paul Pierce.
Dave and I picked up two Sony F900 HDCAMs, one Panasonic 900 DVCPRO HD, an Arri light kit, HD monitors, tripods, and tape stock from Rule Broadcast. I also brought some of my own gear.
We drove to Healthpoint athletic complex (practice and training facility for the Boston Celtics) and met up with another camera guy, Chris and the sound guy, Bill.
I set up my Sony EX1 with the Letus Extreme in the back of the "Hall of Fame" room at Healthpoint to capture a time lapse of our entire day. 9:30am to 3pm.
This sit-down interview is scheduled to air on October 28th during the one hour pre-game show before the Cavs/Celtics game at 7pm EST.

That was really fun to watch Tom, really nice work... i thought you will put some of the interview footage just few seconds just to see how was the lights.
Thanks for posting stuff like that.
Thanks for posting it!
Love it. It feels like you were talking me through all of it one on one. Thank you for all the information you shared!!
Thank you for sharing all of this knowledge and information!
1. When making the tape change on the DVCPro HD were you outputing to another source so you could continue to capture or was that camera effectively down while that was going on?
2. Do you ever get request/requirements to create interesting lighting conditions? if so can you point me to any examples?
yea. i have had clients ask me to use fog machines to add a "dramatic look". like red lit smoke behind a boxer just before he hits the ring... or blue fog rising out of a goalie's hockey mask. Too many other examples to name off here!

Very good job bro!
Is it possibble for you to little footage?
Thanks,

How come you chose to use a dimmer to get the keys' brightness matched opposed to a multi-bulb fixture like a Barger Baglight or Kino Flo? Do you ever find issues with color temperatures not matching when using dimmers?
I see the bottoms of your keys' softboxes are flagged. Is that so it doesn't hit the back of the other person's head? Do you ever double up lights like that (using a single light to key one person and backlight the other person)?
What did you guys use to feed the audio to all the cameras?
Thanks for posting. Make more of these! Your Fenway videos are great, too.
