I tried to set up all my gear within a space that would be as little in the way as possible. I wanted to respect that they still had customers coming in. I set up one camera on the table where we sat, and had another camera on a tripod just to the left of the table. Unfortunately, it was in the walking way, but at least it wasn't completely blocking the path.
In
order to save space, I didn't mount the light box, but instead held
it in my hand, pointing it at Ramon. This wasn't such a hassle,
except that when I finally got around to editing the footage, there
were times when the light box was in the shot. I really regret that,
but I hope that the viewer doesn't notice too much. I know that in
very professional productions, sometimes a boom mic, or something
like that finds its way into the shot, so I don't feel too bad about
it. Perhaps I also don't think it's so bad because it is a
documentary film.
