We have now filmed the majority of the indoor band shots required for our production, we decided to film inside the grain bin because this provided the most clear and flexible location.
For the lighting we used a series of portable flood lights which lit the location very effectively. we were also able to move them around for the purpose of capturing specific shots, such as the close-ups during the guitar solo.
One issue that arose was the lack of space, this ment that we didn't manage to capture any of the long shots we wanted however we feel that by using mainly mid-shots and close-ups in the first section we will be able to create a strong contrast with the long shots used in the second location. Since the second location is outside space should not be to much of a problem.
While we were filming we also captured a series of images on a HD camera, we will be able to use some of these for our digipack and website. We also began to take some promo pics of the band for the website and digipack however we are planning to do the bulk of these at another location.
These stills look great with some nice variation in depth of field. Did you get Alex to help out in the end or is this Andy or Matt behind the viewfinder...
ReplyDeleteWell done setting up the lights in the silo too - looks good.
