Hello. So you join me, I'm just sitting in the Chevy and I'm just on the A6.
Although it's quiet at the moment, no cars coming past but you'll hear the
traffic in a minute as one's coming past now. Why am I sitting here? Good question.
I'm off to pick up Roxy, a model, and today we're going to be shooting some
pinup style shots, glamour style that kind of thing, with the car.
It's a beautiful day. Really really nice hot sunny day.
So hopefully the location that I've scouted won't be heaving. If it is then we may
have to go elsewhere and find another location.
It gives us a chance to shoot some stills and that's really what I'm going to be concentrating on today
and we'll also shoot some behind-the-scenes content as well so
So we've arrived. Roxy is just working her way through the clothing store that we have.
I just chucked a few things in. I don't know if that's your size John? No it's not my size.
It shows my underpants through there.
Scarfs... I know girls like scarves. Socks....laughter
Gosh. You're good at packing. Yeah.
So we've got a boot full of gear in here. Various things, cameras, drones, iFootage stuff for time-lapse
and there's some more clothes in the car as well, blouses and tops.
So we're going to get setup. Decide what we're going to wear.
I like these. I thought you might, they're a little bit crumpled. Yeah that's fine.
So yeah, we're just gonna get set up and then we're gonna do some some shots.
It's glorious here. We're in a little car park.
Clear blue sky. We've got the place to ourselves. Well that's a bit of a lie, because there's those cars over there.
But in terms of people who are going to annoy us, and be inquisitive, at the moment
there is no-one. Right so going to sign off and then we're gonna get set up. See you in a bit.
Okay, just turned the car round because we felt that a) shooting into the car park wasn't
really photogenic as a background and b). Just positioning you on the bonnet.
Erm b) what was b)? b) was the light wasn't it. We felt that the light would be
easier to control because it's so bright out here.
We've got Roxy in the shade. I can just add a bit of fill-in flash into that.
So we're about to start off with another set. I'm running a time lapse in the
which you'll get to see in a second when we've finished.
We're shooting on this side of the car. I've setup a flash, at an angle, opposite the
sun to fill in the shadows. And I've set the zoom on that to about 35m...
oh sorry 35mm in terms of zoom. I might go in a bit closer if I need to.
It goes up to 105mm if need be, if I really need to go in tight on the zoom.
And I've got, on the front of the camera, I've got a polarising filter to cut the glare
from the glass and saturate the colours as well. So yeah, see how we get on.
We've just been off to get a sandwich and a drink. We just made our way back again.
I don't think I pointed this out this morning, where we are parked, there's loads of Mayflies which have
hatched. I don't know if you can see them on the camera, probably not. All dancing around in the sun.
