The easy ones are the hard one #2

Some images from the "Restroom Sign" Process. I tried lighting the sign everywhich was you could think of. I ended up using a flash light and painting with light @ 12sec. exposure painting on the left and right to bring out the texture from the paper. This did cause some funky shadows on the people and letters. I ended up pathing them off and adding seperate layers for each and filling with an off white and messing with the opacity and modes.

At first they wanted a gray restroom sign with teal letters. After 5 signs,6 cans of different spray paint, 2 hours of hand painting,staining a background and some test files the job was cancelled. So after some changes, my Clinical Trials "Restroom Sign" was back on this week. The client wanted a blue sign. Thank god I found 2 locally. The Hero "Closed For Cleaning" sign was out of proportion to the restroom sign. I think my assistant walked off with my giant Marks-A-Lot marker, a trip to the local Staples.... It only took @ 30 try's to get the right hand written sign. I set it up and started testing .... There was bleed through on the blue sign, so I had to pull it,mask it off, a trip to the hardware store to get another can of spray paint to paint the back. Got it back on set and shot it.

Media Circus

I was downtown the other day for a meeting. I had a teacher tell me one time to always carry a camera because you never know when a plane is going down, so I always try to carry a camera with me. I got out of my meeting and the Nifong case was getting out across the street. It was a media circus, I hpoe the first images shows that. I felt sorry for the Duke kids Reid and Colin after going through what they did and to come out and have cameras shoved in their faces. I'm to blame aswell I jumped on in .....
