Do you have any tips for hanging large maps in a rental place? (i.e. I cannot destroy the walls for my aesthetic needs)

Nick here on Johnny's account! 1. LIGHTS- There is an Aputure 120dii light with a big soft box on it called the Light Dome II, about 3 feet in front of me just to the right of the camera- we also have some natural light coming in from some windows behind and to the right of the camera. The goal here was to get the diffused light as close to the subject as possible, I have it up high pointing down so it creates a kind of spotlight affect. Also I have one of those velcro grid things on the softbox to make the light more directional. CAMERA- we are shooting on a Sony A7siii on PP8 which is there Slog3/SLOG Cinetone profile so it comes out with really flat colors that are great to edit with. The lens is a Sigma 35mm 1.4 and we have the aperture all the way open here for that super shallow depth of field. But I think that softness you are looking for is coming from the mix of using the flat color profile and using a light with heavy diffusion on it and getting it really close to the subject. 2. We always use two mics just as a safety measure in case one gets interfered with or cuts out. We used to always use a lavalier mic as the backup but found that you get a more similar backup audio track using another shotgun mic, so we started doing that.

Hey Nick, I have some questions: 1. Can you talk about the camera/light set up at 1:01? I love how the colors looked and how "soft" the image looked. 2. at 6:22 can you explain why there are two mics for what it seems like the same talent?
