Just off the hot press from Alternative Images Photography is another video project for one of our clients. This was shot during the Autumn period and utilised the colours of the season to make it exciting and set the scene for the outside shoot. It took around two days on site to gather all material sticking to a well draughted story boarded shoot script that was dependant on the weather being just right. We needed bright days without strong sunlight. This was because the subject matter was silver metal that reflected wildley. So what was needed was bubbly white clouds to act as a large diffuser and a soft breeze to help with the audio element.

The edit took place soon after to produce the five short videos needed. My client said that ‘now the shoot was done that the easy bit was next’. How wrong. I our experience the shoot is actually the easier part and the edit can be the long process of any video making.

I used again on this perticular shoot the D800 that I earlier wrote a blog about that gave yet again fantastic results for a standard practical piece of equipment. The edit was done using FCPX on Mac. Our client was very happy with the outcome and  was quite impressed with how a small camera like this produced such good results. Well I put it all down to the operator!
