Some of the best and funniest lines from @kikehndez ’s interview we produced for @flightclub last year.
Congrats to the @dodgers and @kikehndez on getting the W on Opening Day! ⚾️ #dodgers #baseball #productioncompany
F1 is back! Here’s a couple clips from one of the shoots we did with Dropbox last year and the McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Adding a breakdown of how we did it below.
This “sign the lens” trend got really popular last year and I was lucky to have prep time to test and execute it the way I wanted. Hopefully others find this helpful.
First and foremost I’m not a DP but I do like figuring out the mechanics of how to achieve something.
The references given to us were from broadcast tennis. First thing I noted was these are usually done outdoors so tons of light and second they use broadcast cameras. These cameras and sensors have deep depth of field so things in the foreground and background stay sharp. Ideal for watching any sport.
That is how the signatures and the players would be in focus. On mirrorless cameras sensors are larger and have a shallow depth of field. You’ll see this on some NBA and NFL broadcasts now on the court and field.
Each lens has a something called a ‘minimum focus distance’. I took note of what that distance was on the lens we used and tried to put the plexiglass as close to that distance as possible. That means we also needed a larger sheet (11”x14”) so the edges of it wouldn’t be visible.
Additionally since we’d be indoors I wanted a strong enough light so we could be at f7 or f8 so we’d see the signature and driver clearly. Being wide open at 2.8 or lower would require us to potentially pull focus in the middle of the shot from the marker to the driver. Not ideal. Luckily we used the FX3 so shooting at the high base ISO made this easy.
The other thing I found in my test was reflections. I solved this with a scrap of black fabric that I wrapped around the gap between the plexiglass and lens. A black Uniqlo t-shirt also works very well.
The last thing is the pen. It’s opaque not translucent. Dry erase markers wouldn’t work for this. So I went to Baller Art Supplies and grabbed a few pens to test. Penco paint pens worked great.
On to the actual shoot itself. We have extremely limited time so more prep on-site was needed to ensure this went smoothly.
