Student Shoot: Crying Words

So now we're going to shoot with robin and shoot her concepts and we're going to do a little bit of tweaking we're going to talk about problem solving and challenges and lighting and one so let's take a look at what the setup is first so robin's concept real quick what was it again? It's a model crying tears and tears turn into words okay um so take a look at the set up we have here first of all we have a white background but because it's not lit and and she is illuminated by a very bright light source because we're exposing for her that backgrounds going to go black so even if you don't have every different tone of background you can work with and modify it to be correct. So up here we have it's kind of a halfway between a silver reflector and a snoot and it has a grade on it and what it does if you look here you can exactly see that the light on lee hits from basically the top of her head to just below her clavicles and so that's what that shape of the modifier as well as the grid do...

es it really focuses it in it creates incredibly dramatic really, really really beautiful light uh okay, so talk about challenges what you think we're going to do it to modify so good about it, okay as we know during my submission video I suggested that the letters be vertically addressed on the neck, but as we see now, they are horizontal because it's just easier to read that way, and the tears are stopping at the letters right now, but what we want to do is extend it out a little bit, so we're mixing some additional makeup now to just kind of spread and go across the neckline and tow the letters. So this is what I'm thinking I'll say when I say this based on what your idea was, um, a lot of what I would do would be to address some of it in post, okay, so you can clone to make these look like they're joined together. It was my biggest problem, I would say, is that it doesn't look like real it's, not like it's running, right? So that's, where we're gonna stir up this stuff, probably make a little bit of mess, um, and drip it down the face, and then what I'll probably do is do that do one time where we can remove it and then just do a couple of fresh ones, okay? What that does is it gives me lots of different pieces to work with, if if what I want you to do is find the pose you like, okay? If you find that pose and you do a variety of drips and you keep doing it you can cut and paste the drips from different photo put him together and have it work so late get you to the point where you want it to be so that's a recommendation work with her now to say okay that's you know, that's a poser like and they were going to try a different varieties of makeup and try to put it together so we're gonna start with that, okay? And so what I'm gonna have you do is we want a very long neck, so we want to extend the neck and if you could do some with your eyes closed and just think melancholy sand that's perfect. I like that look like and what? Lindsay's this's a hundred millimeter and point eight two point eight and it is what? Camera settings? This is a shutter one sixty f sixteen I s a one hundred. Ok, go ahead. All right, here we go. It's a little dark so might open up just a bit. Yeah is uh oh, yeah. Okay, so one thing, I think it's probably a little dark too, so you moved a little bit out of the sweet spot of the light too to that okay, the difference, you moved it so I can actually move it just a little bit. Try that same setting could it moved over an inch? I really just moved it an inch. Okay, so same settings. Okay, here we go. And I'm focusing on the I but I want to make sure that I get the neck and the scene. Sure. And if you're at like, everything, senior half eleven, something like that. It should be pretty. All focus. Yes. Nicholas so I'm sixteen. Sixteen. Nice. So is that close to what you wanted? For exposure? I wanna open up a little bit more. So maybe a fourteen day someone at fourteen. Same poses before. Lovely. Okay, a little bit. Um, I so okay. So for your for your vision of it, um, once you get the exposure, I mean, take a look at the back of the camera. Quick. I didn't like I like it better in your back. Your camera than on the screen, too. Okay, I did think I liked when you could see a little bit more of the neck here. Only because that makes kind of a nice leaving line around. Maybe not that much, but a little bit more, and if you again, if you want to just play with love way. Lose the other word. Yes, unless we turn her. So it depends on how you want to do it. But right now we're just going to see love. Okay? So just get that much so I'd have to shoot. So you find a pose that you like. And so you think it's, right? Very, very the head angle. Yes. And so that's. Why I'm going to do so. Each shot will just move a little bit. Yeah. Thanks. So here we go and you can keep the eyes close. That's, fun for poor processing. We're thinking of doing kind of pale skin with meeting her hair red on and then playing with the red eyes, he'll talk. The color is kind of beside each other. But again really, really pale skin. Yes. Lower the eyes a little bit, right. Slipped. It doesn't take a look. Okay. Don't export the computer. Okay? Yeah, when the noses up, it's a little highfalutin. So I definitely want to bring the nose back down. These air beautiful. Those are nice. Very nice, very nice. Good. Okay. Beautiful well okay, so like I'm liking it the only thing I would suggest is that we turn a little bit turned the body a little bit more towards me so I can get more of the words because the e and the sari is starting to disappear look, it's an e definitely disappears it depends on so one opinion that I have is you do want to see all the love and sorry but I feel like you're not gonna ever get the home right you might just picked the two like love and sorry orjust pick love come make that is anybody already have it on there because the missus too long it wraps around that wraps around she won't see it so I would pick the one or two tried that already and actually, if I could have you bring your hands just yeah people are looking at a tether that light is really, really beautiful to this really, really harsh she's great cheekbones great facebook she's able to handle it perfect that's what I'm talking about nice. I love that hold that pose for me right there. Awesome! She was much okay and I think I cut off the neck on as it started that way get roughly there, ok, that's nice oh, these are nice, good um, so that's beautiful that I know yeah like this whole kind of feel this one in the next one okay are good so do you want to kind of just go with that I don't know about the two hands because if you crop in half of the hand okay so uh do you need a hand up this time uh maybe do you just like a little softer fingers and maybe like left one off a little or maybe just I don't know if you can see the words but if you just kind of and she can trace yeah right yeah just kind of what that's perfect I like that and then maybe to mention way we'll take a look at how the light hits it good stall make sure I get my focus right and did we get makeup remover yes we did we did excellent okay calm down just a little bit for me bring the nose down just a little there we go nice just to have the exact same clothes as long this close it'll work right grab these okay I'm gonna go get a beer is the last one I got your eye opens it zeke enough it's not thick enough it's not thinking that I don't know what I don't I don't know jesus stuff we're just going to drip it on a c okay so do you think you have to give the clothes that you want? Yes. Okay. Something like that yes I do think maybe like maybe like a little I don't know yeah because it's cutting off so if we could just bring the hand not that you're choking yourself or anything but e said I want to die no way if we could bring the hand is it okay if I get it? Okay, so just bring the hand and then we'll place the thumb one year and then the other fingers just weather wrap it nicely ok all right to take that and then we'll play with this play with this I have no idea how this works but we'll make it we'll just drip it on their way I hope it doesn't tickle when things run down my neck I get off ticklish in like the way you like to take a look good you look back you look beautiful. Okay? All right, so I said I wasn't gonna squeal on camera, but I did well, okay, yeah. That's nice that like that. Okay, that's good. Okay, so we're gonna try this.
