So my good friend Edward Pond who's an incredible food photographer is making his forte into motion. I'v been helping him put together a motion reel. We have a bunch of material to show but this is the first one. Lighting was mostly a Joker 800, and a 575W HMI. Edited with native R3D in FCPX.

One of the best food reels I've ever seen and I pay attention to food reels.
I really wish the Joker 800 and 1600 cost about half of what they cost.
What lenses were used here Bob? Just spectacular clarity and sharpness.
 
Thanks guys.

Every shot in that video was with one lens. The Tamron 90mm macro that I bought on eBay for $300. Plus I found the 2x teleconvertor for it for about half the shots.

Bob, this was great, the edit flowed so nicely.

I'm actually filming some wine pouring this Tuesday coming (with little experience.) Any tips?

For nice continuos pours, use a funnel and tube!
 
After this reel my upper-lip sticked to my teeth, so much thirst I got.
Sure this reel gets Edward where he wants to be.
 
Beautiful Bob! I've been thinking the last few months about getting into food photography/video... It's nice that food doesn't talk back to you and doesn't have an attitude. This was inspirational. Did you go with the Tamron because it is all you had in your bag or was it something specific against and Canon macro or Zeiss macro?
 
Thanks Samir. I have a Nikon 105mm Micro lens but I hate the short focus throw on modern lenses. So, this Tamron has a beautiful long throw, and I must admit liked the fact it physically looked like my Leica R set. Plus, it's one of those legendary lenses that are so cheap... why not? Ha ha.

Yup that's the lens! ALso look for the tamron 2x teleconverter. As for credit... thanks! I made this for Edward to help kickstart his Directing career.

Bob, so on these two food shoots, it seems like you're doing a lot of the work yet the name on the piece is Edward Pond. Seems like you should get some credit too. You have me in the market for a macro now.

Is this the same one?

Nice job... Coincidentally I just recently did a bunch of table/pours for a Coors commercial in Toronto as well! Had some great liquid stylists out there...

That was amazing Christopher. Yeah those stylist are pretty incredible. I don't know how they don't go insane :) If you are ever in Toronto again, I'd love to meet up.
