"Heads or Tails" movie shoot - BEHIND the scenes!

And this is how it was done..
Took a few days, the footage is coming up soon!

On the first day I managed to knock something down right during the take. And it was a good take until then :). Oh, man - it gets crowded on the set!

For me as a photographer shooting stills is a very rewarding experience. I don't get to set things up and rule the action like I do on photo shoots. I have to remember that I'm there only to witness things.
It helps to be very considerate and not get in anybody's way. Everyone is very important on the set, except me. What I'm doing is only going to be required later - when the production is over.

All that creates quite a challenging situation. I'm limited in space, angles, light, setup, people standing around watching the action unfold - director, sound, dp, various assistants - ouch!

And I love challenge! That's the best field to study - nothing will make me better at what I do.

That's why I'm very much looking forward to the next set I'm covering, and the next one, and the next...

Leaning more towards compositions

Pushing towards creating a photograph full of energy is one thing - you work on the concept, mood, close relation with the model - things play out well when you're well prepared and the team is on the same page.



But when I look at the photos I took after a few days - when I get used to seeing them on the screen - I begin wanting more. I begin wanting the movement between the shots, to compose it

And for those who love geometry :)
