Bail out and small spaces
I did some executive portraits of a company that got a large bail out. Not sure if I should of gotten paid up front or if I should invoice the for $100K. You never know what your going to get when you show up. The room was 15X10 feet, I could touch the ceiling on my tip toes. I ended up opening the doors and shooting through. This worked great for the individual portraits. The group shot not to well ........... It looked like it was shot with a ring flash, but some fancy photoshop work made it look great.
Corporate Guide lines
Below are the guidelines:
4”x5”Color Portrait, head or torso shot, approximately four feet from camera. Individual should be centered in the photo with some background showing on either side and above the head.•Team photos: 5”x4”Color Portrait, head or torso shot, approximately four –six feet from camera. Members must be close together. Team should be centered in the photo with some background showing on either side and above the heads.•Please DO NOT stand in front of the XXXXXXX logo if you are photographing in your office.
General Hugh Shelton
This was my 4th year covering this corporate event. They always have great key-note speakers. This year was General Hugh Shelton, a great speaker and actually kinda funny. The set up was different from past years, I'd decided to bounce a couple lights from the ceiling. Kinda a nice rim type light.

Flip book for TV test
Had a pow-wow with a creative agency the other day and the concept was a flip book style documentary video for a TV commercial. I'm a sucker for a challenge. I've done stop motion in the past 16 mm and Super 8, but nothing in the digital world. I'm sure there is a mathmatical formula for something like this, frame rate divided by speed x distance + time - the square root of Pi ........ I went with the SWAG theory Scientific Wild Ass Guess. Thought I'd shoot a test before we went on location. Stop sign in front of the studio 30 frames 360° spin 00:03. Can't get the video to upload but here's a link Flip Book Test

I've never really worried about space before but I've got this on 3 machines and 2 drives ............
