This is the most lights I’ve ever used on one shot in my entire career, which is a helluva lot. Let’s have a look.
One. Blue one through there, two. That’s the one shining through here. Three.
This one on the floor that Maddy was holding, four.
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
Twelve lights. The most lights I’ve ever used on a single shot. It’s crazy.
But, they look really good.
Twelve lights used on this one, a very complicated setup.
A lot of C-stands and grips and arms to hold everything in place and then get it
finally lit. It took several hours to get it in place and light it, but really, really happy.
Now what we’ll do is we’ll clear all of the C-stands, the block and the fire safety equipment out of the way
and we’ll shoot a blank of the background so that I can easily Photoshop away the rods and poles for the final picture.
Right, I’m with Wally from Offshore International Advertising,
and you worked on this campaign with us for MSA Fire Safety Equipment.
Tell us a little bit about it please Wally.
So just to give everyone an idea of what the whole campaign was about is MSA has
brought out a new SCBA system. So what that is is a respiratory system for firefighters.
Top of the range stuff, best product out there, and
I mean, luckily, we got the chance to work on that.
Yeah, just to make it look as slick and cool as possible.
So you worked on the video effects in post in After Effects or Premiere?
Yes.
I mean I jumped between the two.
So after After Effects for all of the effects and what not and then to composite everything and
also a bit of sound editing, well I did some of that in Adobe Audition,
but pretty much all of the major comping done in Premiere Pro.
which is my preferred sort of work flow.
Can we have a look at some of what ended up in the final video?
This is sort of like introducing the new system and then it sort of cuts to these jolts of...
Ah yes, there’s the 360. So you’ve overlayed these embers floating around on top of the 360 footage.
Excellent.
Then over here, this was also quite challenging.
Yes, this was where you had to show the different heights of the harness, adjustment heights.
Yes. So just to go through that again.
You’ve highlighted it with flashing and then the three different positions.
Yeah, and then also... And there’s Ashleigh’s hands, and there’s Evie modelling.
That was the comms equipment, wasn’t it.
Yeah, and that was the very important part that we had to highlight.
Right, Wally. Thanks very much, cheers.
