Late last year, while in the middle of work on the Ruth Messinger video I shot for Philip Dolin of Particle Productions, we found ourselves in the middle of a production day with nothing to shoot. As is always possible with high-profile (or powerful) interviewees, someone on our schedule was called away for something big that couldn't possibly be moved. So, we had to figure something out. Check the link out below for the result.
Mint Theater - NYC (Vimeo album)
This was a fun one - we were given a nice, large, interesting space to shoot in (which is becoming a rarity in industrial work these days). I also had the benefit of controlling the stage lighting, so I set my frame, built my key and adjusted the stage light levels to be about a stop under my key. My key was a diffused 4bank fluorescent, with bounces for fill and edge. I also used two 250w Pro Lights to shape the seats in the background. Sound was recorded by my cohort, Bret Scheinfeld.
