16. Interview - Studio p2

Because we had a bit more time this time, I delved a bit more into his musical talents, and how he does a lot of his musical work. I didn't get a chance to ask him these things previously. Even more, he expressed to me that he had even thought more about some of the questions. This is exactly what I was talking about before when I tried to express the value of conducting the same interview multiple times.

That extra time also allowed us to get some footage of him playing piano. This was nice because I wanted to get various footage of this, but I couldn't use two cameras because of the angles I wanted. I wanted to move around him, and get shots over his shoulder, close-ups of his hands, and these kinds of things.

Other footage that I could get during this studio shoot was of Ramon writing music, and working out these challenges with paper and pencil.

I think that one reason I was able to take advantage of this shooting schedule is because I did have some specific notes. I tried to plan out some very specific shots that I wanted. This was in addition to the specific interview questions I asked. For example, I knew I wanted a shot of the inside of a piano, and him playing.
