Lighting setup and notes from Kyle.

1. Limelight

To shake things up a little bit, we lit this shot from above using one hotlight and a diffusion panel. This provided fairly open shadows and let the upper part of the background go darker to serve as the backdrop for dave's hand and the flame.



2. Butterfly

We used a two light, high key setup for the butterfly shot. One light was placed at a 45 degree angle behind a diffusion panel. The second light was back and on the right to provide an artificial sunlit look. We attached one of the "butterflies" to a dowel rod to make it "fly."





3. Gumshoe

Again, just one light was needed since our set was so small (baby shoe at the thrift store).
We lit from the left side this time in order to throw the shadow underneath the shoe




4. We did a simple one light setup for this shot. We wanted some severe, dramatic shadows for this one, so we didn't use a fill card or second light. We did place a diffusion panel in front of the 650 arri for just a little bit of softening, but had it right in front of the hotlight so the shadows were still crisp.

Images from the shoot

Not sure what to say here.
Here are the images, pretty self explanatory. I don't want to spoil the game for crit so I'll leave them untitled.

Final Studio idea

So I'm going to be working with Kyle on our final project. Seeing as he has a bum arm and I have a bum brain when it comes to coming up with an idea for this project the Jones Petersen duo should be rocking. Kyles idea has to do with compond words and creating them visually. An example would be the word butterfly, rather than taking a photo of a butterfly what we'll be doing is taking a photo of butter flying. . . get it? Give it a sec. . . . there you go. If you're still having a hard time here is a image I saw on the google that's doing the same thing we are.
