First, we are not collecting links.

Second, we have proper category for lighting : http://www.personal-view.com/talks/categories/lighting

so this is not topic to collect even all lighting videos.

Any one experienced using windows as key light for interview? Going to travel, do an inside interview with no light equipment at all.

Just get good collapsible reflector or similar thing.

Yeah, windows can do the trick with a reflector (or white board) to fill. That can pose a problem if the interview is long on a cloudy day (no overcast - which is good because pretty even and the light is naturally diffuse - but a day with clouds passing by the sun) due to the obvious change during the interview. That can make cuts difficult sometimes.

Others lighting interviews setup I like are made by the dedolights creator. There is an obvious commercial purpose but they are great anyway.
