My report on the 20th anniversary of the Tianamen Square massacre. All interviews bar one from the US was shot the 5dmkII with a radio mic and auto gain (my edirol recorder wasn't working at the time for sync sound)

Sorry its only in low res right now, HD will follow on Youtube later. There will be another one later today.

Looks good, Dan. Nice work.
What kind of light kit did you use?

 

[ESTEBEVERDE]

Great Work Dan!!!

What lenses did you use?

Bill,

Mostly available light from windows, the only extra light was from a Litepanels LP Micro used as a hair light in a couple of the shots and a main light for the guy called Wu'er Kaixi. I would have preferred to use a bit more lighting but it wasn't possible given the circumstances of most of the interviews.

ESTEBEVERDE,

Almost all on a Contax/Zeiss 85mm f1.4
