How much time do you need to film an interview(s)?

We take great pride in our interview filming. We work really hard to help each interviewee sound and look great and take the extra time to make sure what they say is clear and succinct.

To achieve high quality interviews it is best if we have a large, quiet location and the interviewee doesn’t feel rushed.

It takes roughly 1 hour to set up the lights, cameras and microphones, and 45 minutes to pack everything down.

Below is a table showing, roughly, the amount of time it takes to interview 1 person vs 2 people. For each additional interview we recommend an extra 90 minutes. We can film 2 interviews in a half day, or 3 – 4 in a full day.
