Had a great couple of days @ Silverstone!

Not even earthquakes can dampen the love for Tokyo! 😍

@raye ‘Click Clack. Ft. Hans Zimmer’ @stevecameron ‘s Take on the lighting process of this momentous video. “This was Produced by @maggiecurwin and we were approached, booked and recce’d by the middle of December with the shoot not till the first week of January (a rare occurrence!). With @davemeyers Directing and DOP @nikitakkkuz , the concept, beautifully classic with a twist, clean artistic beauty. Raye’s ‘Click, Clack Symphony’ was a three day shoot over multiple locations, day 1, Ealing in Pitzhanger Manor, day 2 in @Londonfilmstudios Stage A and finally the big exterior ending down in Devils Dyke. For day 1 and 2 we had the main exterior window’s or roof light work at Pitzhanger and a 6M wide by 7M tall blue screen wall at SHL, all being lit by either of the @nanlux.official Evoke 2400 or 1200 range, they are such a great range of lights and they pack such a great punch. Litemat 2’s and 4’s overhead on booms as our top light in confined area’s, @arri Skypanel S60’s as soft fills or toplight whenever needed, @Asteraofficial ’s as eye light and @nanlite_global Forza 60c, if you know, you know! Then on day 3 we had the Nanlux Evoke 5000 helping to add a little fill on a surprisingly bright but freezing cold day! Incredible artist and crew, everyone collectively pulling out all the stops to achieve a great end goal!”

“In Plain Sight” for @thegr8khalid Gaffer @stevecameron ‘s thoughts on the process of lighting the video. So I was approached by @nathanmlegger on this one, all was a little last minute, we had initial talks on the Tuesday, Recce Wednesday pre-light Friday and shoot on Saturday! The shoot took place @londonfilmstudios Black Stage and the concept that the Director @91.Rules and DOP @GaulPorat had, was a large coloured background with falloff, being the main set piece. There was some high speed throughout, but nothing crazy. So we opted for a large uplit 40x20 ultra bounce and 40x20 half silk in front of this. As time was an issue, I had to go with using 2 x 20x20’s and try my hardest to hide the seam and let post-Production do a little cleaning up! I work with SHL a lot and they always provide a great service and didn’t fail on this project even with a crazy turnaround time….. The main background look was achieved with 10 x Sky panel S60’s evenly uplighting the U/B. Then 1 x Skypanel S360 overhead as our toplight and key light was provided by a Nanlux Evoke 2400. With rolling side lighting in the form of Evoke 900C’s and side and back light coming from Aputure 600C’s on drop arms from the motorised grid. We also needed a punch for the various strobe moments in the shoot and pulled out the old faithful atomic strobes, using 1 either side of camera. Shooting 3 different set looks through the day and with a cast of around 35 had its challenges but the end result looks great! I have to thank the wonderful team around me and as always the continued help from the guys @SHL.london #musicvideo #filmlighting #gaffer #lighting #sparks
