The First half of the second Day is in the Dance Studio , we wrap there then relocate to the Studio for the Close product shots

It clouds over so we use the 18K outside the Window for the main key light  

 Our last set up before we wrap and move to the studio is the end drinking shot ,,,, It looks great up against the art wall,,, and with a move of the outside 18K it is lit quickly

A Great SPLASH doesnt just happen , you have to work at it .

Our Thai team had made up a few different shapes to get a great splash ,,,,,, the regular crown effect was just too regular so we used a irregular piece of plastic ,,, Great Splash

You would think this was a Post or at least green screen shot ,,, but NO ,,,, Its ALL REAL FOLKS ,, he just got a one armed handstand going on the edge of a low rostrum and he was away ,,, Hand the man a spoon ,,, We shot this in the Production houses Small studio ,,, it was big enough for our needs and we put up a false ceiling piece to match the dance studio

                            While Justin and Nick check the shooting at the Monitors our Man
does a single handstand to get this shot ,,, a Talented Guyhe is ,

An under the glass floor shot

We set the camera looking up vertically and right under his sitting position 

to get the required shot of him laying out the products in line

We used the Phantom Flex for ALL of the shooting including the normal speed shooting    ,,,       ( In this case it is 24fps ,,, Being on location in the Philippines )

 When you have this T REX periscope setup you loose several stops of light and you really need plenty of stop to get the required focus depth you need  for the look of the shot . So out comes the 18K sitting about 2 meters away and through a couple of diffusion frames . Its not exactly the old joke about the 20K bouncing off the dentist mirror for a small backlight but it is close he he he

Just love looking at this stuff  ,,,,,,,,,,,,,  It is truly Cinematic art ,,,,,, The things that happen in a fraction of a second transformed into a symphony of motion and light ... Gotta LUV it .

To get a required cone of liquid to put the dancer in the middle of in post our fabulous Thai team has made rigs and done some tests ,,, These guys are great with Liquid and also Flowing hair ,, No hair needed here ,,,,,,,,,, We use the T-Rex lens system for this one shot to enable us to get close enough to the liquid curl ,,,

Its nice to see a man happy in his work ,,, Nick looks like he is having fun ,,, or Not

To get the required light for exposure at the high frame rate and a good stop for some focus depth We have to depend on some BIG guns ,,, The 18K about 2 meters away from the product ,,,

I just love the way 3000fps looks with liquids , amazing stuff ,,,,,,,,,
MORE cinematic ART ,,,,,,
I could look at this stuff for hours ( really ,,, With the right music and a beer or two ,,, he he he )

Well it was all done and dusted ,,,,,, Teamwork

This was the First time I had shot in the Philippines and it was a very professional and enjoyable experience ,,,,,, What also was amazing how uncrowded the Traffic , airport and freeway etc were ,,, after many shoots in Thailand and Indonesia ,,, It was a pleasant calmness .
