SHOT 4: The Studio Executive
Originally we thought we’d shoot this gentleman in a window at dusk, but the scheduling didn’t work out. We punted and put him at the top of this staircase in the building housing Compass Rose Media, Jono’s employer. Most of the light came through some windows at the left of frame, through which came beautiful soft light from the sun hitting the building next door. I had to wrap the light around in front of the actor, though, so originally I tried putting a 4x4 active bounce near the camera. That flattened his shirt a bit too much, so I put the card on the ground instead, keeping it on the left side of camera to be consistent with the direction of the key light. It worked beautifully. The soft light from below felt real and ambient but really popped his clothing nicely. I gelled that light with full CTB, and then added an additional 650w Reflectix bounce at the bottom of the staircase, lighting up the landing below for a bit of depth. I kept that light at 3200k, keeping it nice and warm and feeling like bouncing afternoon sunlight. Any colored object livens up considerably if you hit it with light of the same color, and the warmth of the light really popped the warm wood nicely.

NAB is too big a show in too short a time to see more than a fraction of it. I’ve covered a few things in some depth (as have other PVC folks), but there’s plenty more that slips by without proper coverage. Here, I have a few photos… |
