Project BTS

Title:

Stage Shoot With Motors & Blue Screen

Commercial

about the project

Stage shoot with 34 motors and 7 different sets. Day and a half of pre-rigging and 4 days of shooting. Grip crew ran 8 deep for most of the shoot and we brought in an additional 5 for the wrap day to get out that night. Our main setups consisted of a 30x60 blue screen with a custom flying 12x60 mod-x angled blue frame for low shot coverage, a 12x12 softbox on a telehandler, and an 8x30 softbox among many other things. Gaffer Eddie Reid laid out the plan to execute DP Franklin Ricart’s vision.
