What have I been up to so I was the Society of wedding and portrait
photographers show I was doing a couple of gigs for hospital and we had some
really big crowds and a lot of fun
we got a new member of staff, a girl called Ashleigh - there she is over there
What have I been up to... well it's been a busy in the studio BIG shoots for
Specsavers optical group as much as group.... As much as Karl would love to tell you exactly what
we've been up to... this is my VLOG now so it means I get to show you around the
scenes here at Karl Taylor Education. I'll let you experience firsthand what my
first week here was like. So, the first few days started with a Specsavers shoot
and it also allowed me to learn a little bit more about lighting, which and a place
like this will probably come in handy :-)
So Karl, what are we doing over here? Well Ash, we are shooting some specs products
you can see the size of the set just for tiny pair of glasses and we're nearly
through this batch. We shot about 30 pairs so far and then we've got to change the
set for a different set for another batch!
I like that... nice angle
We now have 36 more pairs to shoot in
this very difficult setup as you can see here we've got a never-ending supply of
c-stands and grips here a whole forest of them!
To hold - 4 of them so this one we just tested and that's what the result looks
like here.. so don't know that camera pick it up? But yes there you go so that's
where we're at. Still a long way to go.
Quality work... this took hours of positioning, repositioning, repositioning
and then shooting and your thumbs in that one! Yeah let's not point that out on
camera!! Then towards the end of the week I got to experience my first LIVE show...
...and that was a member picture critique.
We ended the week with a Friday painting day. Emma and I got stuck in and painted
a mobile wall we have, as well as some blocks, but that video should do all
the talking itself. Earlier today these were the bright red so Emma and I have
been, on and off, painting these today, and I'll take you over and show you what
delightful outfits we're wearing... There's Emma getting ready for the last set of
paint and here's everything that I'll be wearing too including some beautiful shoe
covers. So, here we go! So what's happening here? BEN! Tell me what is that I see there?
Hold, on look at this! DA... Da... dAAAA... and a Space Gray iMac Pro!
With black keyboard. Are you happy? Yeah Tell me why you're happy? 96
terabytes I hear you say a iMac Pro, Oh my goodness do you know how many cores are
inside that Mac? No! Do you know how fast that Mac Pro is? FAST? It's very very
fast and who got your crappy old machine? ME!!! - and there it is! So that's what I got up
to in my first week make sure you stay tuned to see what else we get up to here
and don't forget to leave any of your comments below thanks for watching and
I'll see you next time!
