Working along side Abacus & Day Job, we created some real magic for BATL. This was a shoot that took a lot of planning to make it possible. Most of the lighting you see in the upcoming post was a team effort with a mix of constant light and flash. This shoot was split video and photo, I’ll be including some behind the scene shots. To produce something special, it always takes a team. This shoot was no exception.
Have you ever fake celebrated at one point? We do it all the time in our line of work. The countless time I’ve had to ask people I don’t know to cheer is probably ridiculous but it’s part of the job. Making this shot work took some beautiful set styling done by Abacus along with food prep. That food is for display only. Once we were done with it, it was all covered in beer so yeah, display only.
The BATL project will stand as one go the largest production shoots I’ve done in recent years. Working alongside the wonderful people from Abacus Agency and Day Job was an absolute pleasure. Usually, when video and photo are combined, time management is meticulous. You have two teams competing or time on a scene. It’s not impossible, but the basic respect for each team to create has to be there. The management on this shoot was wonderful, and if all other shoots could go this smooth, I would be a very happy creator. Special shout out to Day Job & Abacus and others to making this shoot one to remember.
