Just wanted to remind everyone that I have my own YouTube channel. I’m not sure I ever actually plugged it on the blog. All of my videos will eventually end up on this channel, including one random video from LSU football tailgating. So check them out here, and below:
This one is a little long.
Shot with Canon G10.
Few things:
Have I met Chase Jarvis? No
Would I like to meet Chase? Absolutely
Is it odd that I promote other photographers on my blog? Probably to some people, but not me
Do I like this video? Yes – for the most part. There is some amazing lighting, incredible landscapes and fantastic slow motion.
Do I like the song? Honestly? No. But then again, I’m a hip-hop guy. Who knows, it may grow on me.
Why am I putting it on here? This is a great thing. Photographers stepping out of their comfort zones to try something new. I love it. Chase is a commercial photographer out of Seattle, WA who does some directing. But for the most part, from what I can tell, will usually just stay in the realm of still photography. Clearly I’m a fan of this, given the recent post with the Vampire Temptress, aka my wife Chelsea. I am also stepping on the music video front for my good friend Chris Keegan, soon. So this is particularly interesting to me. Anyway, check out his video. Then click here to see some behind the scenes. Enjoy.
First of all, I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. For Halloween this year, we decided to do an impromptu Halloween photoshoot. This was decided in the car around 6pm. From that idea, we spawned a video, which turned into more of a story video. Then, if you see the previous post, we decided to fake an interview that was interrupted by our vampire vixen. Needless to say, I am no actor, so it’s a bit silly. We planned, shot stills, shot video and uploaded everything in 6 hours start to finish. The final product came out great! The lighting setup was a simple Alienbee 800 with a large softbox, camera right, with just a black background. Vampire materials were simply some teeth picked up from the local costume shop. That’s pretty much it. Big thanks to Jordan for helping and my wife Chelsea for modeling. This was so much fun, next year we will do a full series. Also, there is a little surprise in the coming weeks. A late Halloween gift if you will. So here are the shots and the video. I hope you all enjoy.
