Product Overview: Constructive criticism

I'm shooting a interview part for a product overview video, and I was wondering if you guys have any constructive criticism on my choice of lighting, grading or any other part of the set-up? I'm new at this, so everything is welcome!

We'll have to do a reshoot anyway because of the informational content, so I can make changes in my set-up according to your instructions.

The interview is shot with a GH2 in Cinema Mode with external audio.

 
well....
in that case I would say... of course In My Opinion...
the contrast is a little too strong (black shirts on white background), the faces look too white, so they look sick...
the camera is too low....
and I don't really like the vignetting on the corners... try a longer focal...

But It's really hard to say if you don't tell us the content, the post production you want to do, the target of your movie and the way it will be broadcasted.....

cheers ;)
 

I think you're right about the camera height, might set it up a bit higher next time. :) The color/contrast match the graphics that are overlaid, can't include them because you can see the product from those. :) But they actually are that white, but not sick. :D
 
I totally agree that they skintones are not flattering, I'd recommend that you either lower the exposure some on them, or maybe add a straw gel to your lights so you can draw a healthier skintone from them.
