Cool interview, clever guys with some good advice. Also good to hear you like The Prodigy :) They're my favorite band!

@Liam - Dude we were brought up on Prodigy! Okay, not quite, but we dig(g) 'em.
PS. Although I'm sure you've seen their new single :

@eL - Thanks for the feedback man. We knew that the aircon and lighting would be an issue and when we were editing the video we mentioned that it sounded like we were on an aeroplane!! It is tough to dictate the location when we interview some of the guys.
@Liam - Bro, Prodigy are awesome. Marc INSISTED that we use that track :P

@El - I agree with David on that one, it's tough to force a location on the interviewees.

Just a quick framing tip; be sure not to shoot directly into a light source, it really overexposes the shot and you're left with a silhouette look which can be hard to remedy in post. It would have helped to have perhaps closed the blinds in the room. If your camera has manual functionality that can help too. Also, getting rid of background noise (air conditioning/fans) is always going to be an issue. Unfortuantely, there aren't many inexpensive field solutions, which is compounded if your camera doesn't have an external microphone input. :-(
Have you thought about having more detailed show notes, or transcripts of your interviews?
The direction you're taking with them is fantastic though, I'm sure it won't be a problem to interview each of your guests again in future shows. Especially so with the added experience you're sure to gain over time, and the prospect of individual updates.
