Behind the Shot | Interview Lighting Setup for Large Rooms — Starks Media BTS
Great interviews don't happen by accident, they're built, light by light. In this behind-the-scenes video, the Starks Media team walks through the complete lighting setup used to shoot a professional interview in a large room, revealing the decisions, gear, and technique that go into creating a polished, cinematic look on location.
Large rooms present unique challenges for video production: unwanted ambient light, difficult ceiling heights, echo-prone environments, and backgrounds that can easily feel flat or distracting. This video shows exactly how the Starks Media crew tackles those challenges, positioning key lights, fill lights, and background separation to create depth, dimension, and a look that holds up on any screen.
Whether you're a filmmaker leveling up your interview game, a videographer curious about professional lighting workflows, or a client wondering what goes into a Starks Media production, this is a real, unfiltered look at the craft behind the camera.
