Hi Karl,
Where can I buy the blocks which the model is standing on?
Thank you.
Sorry, I’m just seeing the response from October 2018.
About the blocks she’s standing on… What are they called and where can they be purchased from?
Hi April, they are made from MDF I had my carpenter make them and then I painted them. I still have them in my studio and use them all the time although they have been painted white now. Find a carpenter and he can make them easily.
Hi Karl,
Iam currently studying flash duration since I need to do some shots with dancers and splash. My question is: using speedlights with low power make flash duration very low and allows freezing, but I see you used also other flash heads that I am not sure if they have the same short flash duration capabilities.
Can I use different flash duration units and focus my shortest duration lights to the fastest moving parts of the scene? In case I use mixed lights, does the ones with longer duration affect/blurry my shot?
Thanks and regards
Hi Renato, yes you can do what you said as long as the other mixed lightings are not affecting your main subject to strongly and/or their duration is not too long. As with all these things a certain amount of experimentation will be required. Remember also that one of the biggest effects on flash duration that can cause light pollution is the modelling lamps being too bright and also being recorded in the shot, so take a test shot without flash to check if they are being recorded.
“all in the name of art!” =)
great video would love to try that dont want to clean up the mess though
