A wide shot of the location for the Gold music vid

A wide shot of the location for the Gold music video. The half fallen corkscrew Hazel branch made for a nice framing device. I customized the old gas lamp to fit an Aputure MC LED to use as the key light which I could then dial in flicker effects with using the Aputure app. The fire pit acted as a fill light. It had three MC LEDs, set on a low fire preset, and a few incense sticks for a smoke effect.

Another hyena fx composite shot, with a focus shift, for the forthcoming Gold music video. Unfortunately the original stock footage had a lot of camera shake which needed to be manually adjusted. The eyelights were put in to mimic the key/gas lamp reflection.

A MCU test shot for the Gold music video from back

A MCU test shot for the Gold music video from back in Nov. Flat lighting and lazy framing were some of the biggest mistakes I made on the last few videos so I did a whole lot more experimenting this time round and tried to make use of more established (thou new to me) cinematography techniques.

One of four Hyena effect composite shots from the forthcoming 'Gold' music video I've been working on over the last four months. Each four second shot took between 10-14 hours to mask (rotoscope) and adjust the lighting.

'Last Rites' - painting-from-the-imagination 3 hour practical. I spent an extra couple of minutes at the start of this painting mulling over the framing before putting pen to paper (stylus to tablet). This usually results in a better composition but, most of the time, I'm either too tired, grumpy or in a rush to put any extra thought into planning the layout. A handy mental exercise I'm finding that adds more realism is trying to imagine the behaviors of characters in the environment (here this was painting in shortcut tracks and cart marks into the snow). I had to tinker with the silhouettes of the people a good bit as, like with faces, we tend to read alot at a glance. #concept #cinematography #lighting #painting #conceptartist #conceptart #illustration #medieval #sunset #storm #clouds #realism #landscapepainting #landscape
