Re: More EX3/Nano and Red Rock Encore

Thanks Bob,

I did participate in grading this video, however the Director didn't me allow to go to far with contrast, or at least as much as I would have liked. And by the time I has allowed in on this processes I didn't have the time necessary to add the vignettes I wanted.

I was told I needed beauty light for this artist and so I used a technic from a commercial (starring Jennifer Garner that I worked on a few years back) and found a large still camera umbrella that I put a Mole Richardson Mighty Mole into with 1/2 CTB, hoping to avoid the IR issue as her vest was black. So I had a beautiful large soft source as my base light to work with, and I wanted to create a look with a combination of colorful saturation together with movement.

And no I didn't have swing and shift lenses, this was done in post.

OK I know I said I would post this on the first EX3/Nano and Red Rock Encore posting but never did.

I will say I pushed the capabilities of this camera to the edge and found that I should have shot a few scenes in 60p as I had strobing from (overcranking 24p to 48) the large group little PAR lights back lighting the sheer curtains when she was dancing with the men. Going into this I knew I needed a solid stop to work with so we could crush the image later without to much noise.

It was a great opportunity and the crew in Nashville was outstanding, I had never worked with any of these professionals and each and every one of them gave their best. I had guys on ladders moving lights threw the shots, I had 2 guys working the dimmer board manually and guys pre-lighting and move dolly track constantly, it was a very ambitious day.

This combination of EX3, Nano, Red Rock Encore is simply awesome.

I'm surprised Ron hasn't commented of the song.
