another interview w/ Wayne Coyne

Wayne Coyne stopped by the OPUBCO studios the other day for another interview w/ The Oklahoman's Gene Triplett. I'm pretty sure the interview was part of a huge plug for the Flaming Lips show/party for New Years Eve.

We tend to try and pull off something interesting in production land when Wayne stops by. The last big interview we had with the Flaming Lips front man was in October 2007. We shot that interview with 3 cameras (2 different video codecs and sizes too - boo) and edited everything in post. For this interview, we set up the studio with our 3 studio cameras and added a 4th on a jib.

I think the whole thing, though a tad long, turned out pretty well. 30 seconds into the actual interview, I realized that I'd set my close up cameras on the wrong axis to each other, but didn't really freak out about it. Just can't let it happen again. I directed the cameras for most of the interview, but I had to take off for the last 5 mins to leave for another shoot.
