STEAMPUNK SHOOT - My first studio lighting experience.

[Matthew Scott]

My go-to-armourer (and good friend Paul Norton) came to me with a strong concept for his website, here's what I came up with on the photography and lighting side (I also did post). I'm so happy with it!! Paul has some serious weapons...he helped me out with guns on Corruption and we have some mad shit in store for the next short.

I lit it with 3 x 800w tungsten (softboxed) as wrap
2 x 650w tungsten fresnels as back/rim lights
1 x 350w and 2 x 150w frenels for detail pickups in the front

Canon 5D Mark II
Nikkor 50mm AiS f1.4 @ f4.5
800 ISO
Shutter 1/100th

I'd love to apply this sort of lighting to a film, and look forward to experimenting with more. (I'd also love to create film posters when I'm not actually shooting films...hit me up if you're interested hehe)
