The Shoot/The Crew

Suby In The House

I have decided to post up a full shot of the set & some of the crew of the video shot on Sunday. As you can see, I had the pleasure of shooting directly into those huge lights which did not make my job easy, also as I had no filters on hand, life got even tougher.. This image posted is a far cry from the original, which was a lot darker and was very flat. I had to bump up my ISO and drop my shutter speed in order to be able to capture any meaningfull images that where sharp and not blurry.

It's times and days like these I wish i had a Hassalblad or owned a Mark II with an awesome lens kit (f1.8/1.4 ofcourse. :))... But the Subster can only dream and say "one day soon".

I like getting to see this behind the scenes look at how the video was made. Again, another great image from the difficult conditions you had to shoot under.

This is to my eyes an excellent shot. The behind the scenes feeling is intriguing, as is all the attention focussed on that Rolls and the people in it. Very dramatic!

Very nice. Love the colour tone on this. Would have preferred the shot being a bit closer (in particular, cropping out the black line on the left). Good shot nonetheless.

I've been really enjoying your portraits. The lighting is beautiful, and this shot shows how complex lighting can be. I find myself learning a lot from your blog!

Really like this shot. You should consider shooting stills for film. I also like the change in font on the left corner..much more classy ;)

Superb composition on this one, it brings a sense of order to a very busy shot. Not easy, well done.
