Season 2 Episode 3 Inspired Shoot

Apr 24

This series is broken into three parts based on focus or placement. This was also a good exercise in image manipulation and editing, the designer learned a lot of tricks during the process.

Shot of the Glass Animals "How To Be A Human Being" vinyl on couch at different angles

Shot of vinyl on table and props in scene. Lighting is meant to seem a bit lower than the previous shoot, almost as if the main light is from a tv or far away lamps.

I wanted to have shot with the model moving all around, stroboscopic was the original plan but it didn't give the effect I was looking for so I made this video instead

Behind the Scenes

For the set up I used three lights and removed the initial fabric to replace with a green gel and light. The stands unfortunately could not go lower and emulate the lighting in the music video so I improvised my own lighting that still had an over head lighting element and a main tv like light.

The designer worked alone for the duration of the shoot and used the model below to help set up

The designer does not own the Glass Animals' "How To Be A Human Being" vinyl and wanted to have every element in the shot, so she photoshopped off all the previous art and imposed her own art on the vinyl.
