In which a series of tests becomes the fastest spec spot shoot in history
About a week and a half ago I received an email from Leigh Blicher, partner at Videofax in San Francisco. “Just wanted to let you know our F35 has arrived.” My response read something like this: “Ooo! Oh! Oh oh oh! Ooooo oh oh OH! Oh! OHHHHH! Can I come over and PLAY?”
This spot would have been hell if I hadn’t used the RED
This spot was part of a web campaign for California’s No on Prop 8 campaign. In my previous article I wrote about another No on Prop 8 that we shot in four hours on a Sunday afternoon. This is what we shot in the morning. It’s all one take, which is pretty rare for a spot.
Two PARs, a couple of bounce cards and some grid cloth make this spot shine
A while back I posted a Quicktime movie of this project, shot for the California “No on Prop 8” campaign. At the time I promised that lighting diagrams would be along shortly. I lied. I just got around to this today.
In which I present the results of a spec job that I wrote up a while back on PVC
A while back I wrote an article about a spec shoot I did promoting an as-yet unfunded motion picture project. For various reasons the project wasn’t finished, so I took it upon myself to cut the footage into a short piece for my reel. I mixed in some footage from a light drawing test that we did for the same project using a Canon DSLR.
