I'm looking for some help on choosing a style to go off to film commercial videos. Here is an example of a film set I personally like, but I'm looking for other sets to maybe work off of. Anyone that replies gets +k!

I'll be shooting these types of shots so I'm mostly just looking to spice up the background a bit. thanks

So are you looking for like backdrop? Furniture etc? Ikea has phenomenal deals on great things like furniture, that look very modern and professional.

As I said you could get great chairs, lazy boys, couches, coffee tables, night stands, and lamps from ikea. Then as for backdrop you could go for plain just against a wall, or you could get some cheap cool wallpaper.

yeah I'm looking for a little bit of everything overall. I thought about making a trip to iKea, i'm mostly just looking for a modern background. I'm currently just using all black background and i'd like to change it up.

+k thanks, if you could find me some examples of things you like that'd be awesome!

price isn't a factor, the company can afford it and they're looking for something nice

If you're doing an interview, please don't push the subject against the wall. Put them in the middle of a room with 3 point lighting and set a shallow DOF to make the subject stick out.

The only other way is to do a white background or a green/blue background and key in something.

just looking for something a little more intriguing than a green/blue background. something more like my original post. If you could find something you like and post it that'd be great

He was saying that you just have a green or blue background then key something in, in post production. Like a "green screen" and alright ill link you to some things in a few min
