Last week we got on set with Andrew Stegmeyer and Thunderlab to shoot some Food for McDonalds. Between the parallax slider moves, the multiple camera angles, and the carefully crafted lighting set-up I am sure McD's will be "lovin' it."
We lit the food with a large source from the side; we chose to punch an 800 Joker bug through a couple of layers of diffusion to give us the desired affect. Across from that, an Ultra bounce floppy provided a nice fill with a little accent sparkle for some of the dishes. From there, a sky panel punched into the ceiling helped bring up the ambient of the room and an Astra with a soft box provided a nice edge light separation for each dish. The new Kino Select made its debut appearance as well, making it easy to balance out the colors in the background. We had a nice variety of lights working, and thanks to the modern day technology, dialing in the white balance of the room was a lot easier than it normally would have been.
Its always great working with Thunderlab!
