Strange Lighting Setup
 

Okay, I want you guys opinions; I'm shooting an interview, and the wierd thing is that I will be interviewing a guy that killed a really big deer, and I'll have the deer mount next to him during the shoot. So should I give the deer standard 3 point lighting, or do something different?

I would accent the dear, but the subject of the inerview is the hunter.

is this going to be a normal type interview - as in it's on hunting and here's a guy that shot this deer or is this some kind of you are set up (you are commenting ) by having the stuffed/dead deer next to him ?
IMO lighting would be different for each ...

For the buck I would go with at least a 10 pointer.
Oh....... 3point LIGHTING.hehe
Your call, as Don said depends on what your trying to show, how close to the guy the buck will be,etc.Are you thinking of shooting the buck seperately and cutting that into the interview?Light on what is primary to your story with primary lighting, everything else is secondary and should be lit in it's secondary roll.

Maybe have a bet each way and light the deer so that a shadow of the head of the deer on the wall behind frames the hunter.
