Was happy to go to LA and Mexico for this project.

Client: Target
Prod Co: Reset Content LA.
Dir: J Renck
DP: Darren Lew

We shot a built up green screen beach in a the Hangar studios down in Longbeach with models etc for 3 days, then I got to fly all alone down to Cabo, Mexico for 5 days and shoot beach backplates. The foreground was ALEXA with the large format pana primo lenses. The back plates was done with my canon 16-35mm L.

Thanks.
It seams it just takes forever between shoot and release these days and all is hush hush between those dates. I really like to see how people done things myself so I always try to share some of our stuff. But with these long waits it gets a bit old, like saying : -"look what I did last year" lol.

Yes did the post work on these. That was the real task shooting backplates in mexico was me cheating it, as that was supposed to be CG rendered from the beginning but I figured I just as well could just go shoot it.

I would say shooting backplates on the beach for a few days beats vray render times any day

It's a beautiful spot, and I'm a big fan of the Target commercials in general, just for visual style.
