Pre-Production · Interview Look Book

Caprock Partners × Free Wheelchair Mission / Miracle of Mobility · 25th Anniversary

Proposed interview looks for the presenting-sponsor segment, shot at the Caprock Partners office. One pre-lit room, two distinct looks: each executive gets his own backdrop by flipping the boardroom, with a 10–15 minute turnaround between them. Frames are AI-relit previsualization built from the actual office scout photography and team headshots.

Look 1 — Values Wall

Patrick Daniels · Co-Founder · 8:30a

The presenting-sponsor frame. Patrick angled off the navy values wall so the Caprock logo and “PEOPLE before projects” read softly over his shoulder. Aputure 300 through a dome ~45° camera-left, overhead pendant off, lobby-glass curtain and blinds closed so the light holds all morning. Amaran 60d as a warm kicker. Two cameras roll simultaneously: A-cam wide holds the logo wall, B-cam tight compresses to the wood side. Both looks are marked and pre-lit before his 8:30 call.

Look 2 — Wood & TV Wall (Same Room, Flipped)

Jon Pharris · Co-Founder · ~9:15a

Jon's look is the same boardroom flipped ~180°: reclaimed wood planks with the Caprock logo glowing on the TV, dimmed to 20–30% so it reads as a warm accent, not a screen. The Aputure 300 rolls to its mirrored mark (now camera-right), one 60d rakes the wood planks, the second kicks his shoulder, and a warm tube behind the credenza glows the wall. Navy graphic vs. warm wood: two clearly different frames from one pre-lit room, 10–15 minute turnaround while Jon gets mic'd. Credenza props cleared before rolling.

The TV end as scouted — logo slide already runs on their screen. Plush arrangement and credenza clutter get cleared; TV brightness comes down so the logo glows.

Kitchen Logo Wall — Standing Comparison

Sit vs. stand reference · third interview option

The standing option, shown for comparison. It reads more casual and promo than a reflective gala interview, which is the case for seating both executives. This setup is the recommended home for the mission-trip staffer interview (if time allows after 10a) and doubles as a B-roll setup with zero extra lighting moves.

Plan B — Same Flip in the Brick Conference Room

If this is the room we get · blinds confirmed working

The two-look flip translates directly if we're placed in the brick conference room instead. Look 1: table corner against the tree-canopy windows, brick and wood layering behind (key camera-right, window as the free edge). Look 2: flip toward the frosted glass wall — the etched diamond pattern goes soft behind the subject with a ring pendant glowing through the glass as a warm halo. The east window bank has working blinds (confirmed in Aaron's new photos), which solves the side-light concern: they close and stay closed. Same fixtures, same marks-and-roll turnaround.

Lighting Plans — Top-Down

Schematic previz · positions set on the day

One room, one key, two marked positions. During the 7:30–8:30 pre-light, both looks get taped marks (K1/K2 for the Aputure 300, A1/A2 and B1/B2 for the cameras) so the flip between executives is a 10–15 minute roll, not a relight. The two Amaran 60d units and the tubes change roles between looks. Blinds and the lobby-glass curtain stay closed all morning so the 8:30 and 9:15 setups match. Key is set wide and deep enough to hold on both the A-cam wide and B-cam tight simultaneously, all stands outside the wide frame.

Run of Show — Tue 7/7

7:30aLoad in. Pre-light the boardroom: build Look 1, tape marks for both looks (K1/K2, A1/A2, B1/B2). Blinds + curtain closed, pendant off.
8:30aLook 1 — Patrick vs. values wall (~5 questions).
~9:10aFlip: cameras swing, key rolls to K2, accents re-set, TV to dimmed logo (10–15 min while Jon mics up).
9:25aLook 2 — Jon vs. wood/TV wall (~5 questions, mission trip + 25th anniversary).
10:00aExecs out (hard out — meetings). Trip staffer interview in kitchen if available (2–3 questions).
10:30a+B-roll: conference-room meeting, desks, logo walls, ring pendants through frosted glass, balcony exteriors (sky permitting).
About these frames. AI-assisted previsualization built from the real office scout photos and the executives’ headshots — a target for look and framing, not a measured lighting plan. Both cameras roll simultaneously on each interview; tight frames shown are the long-lens B-cam target. Final lighting is built practically on the day. Room confirmed 7/3: the boardroom (“The Wedge”) has no exterior windows — fully light-controlled except the lobby glass, which the string curtain handles. Audio notes: A/C shutdown requested for interview blocks; balcony is B-roll only (John Wayne flyovers).
