More production photos. These are from our video shoot with Sean Guerrero AKA Chromesean impersonating the great Salvador Dali on Transmission Studio’s cyc wall for an upcoming featurette. We shot video on Sean’s Panasonic HVX 200 in SD DV mode so that he can match some old footage when he gets into post. He’s been growing his mustache thick to get it strong enough to hold the flowers on the tips. I’ve been experimenting with my new KW2 fluorescent studio lights. You’ll notice some variation on the wall using the MSL 255. These are not really cyc lights, but I thought I’d give them a try to conserve energy and run a little cooler. You can see some variation caused by the fluorescent tubes on the wall. This forced us to open the iris a little to even out the background. The daylight balanced tubes really made the green pop and the key was accomplished with minor tweeking in Final Cut. I’m also using the 2BL 455 soft fill and the MSL 155 on the boom. Overall, I like these lights. They are built for studio use and will help reduce our carbon footprint and save us money on the power bill.
