Video Lighting Example.
Another two light setup. Background is too close and shows up the wrinkles more than I really wanted. Could have put a light on it, but at that distance it would have been really obvious and too bright. I'll soon be putting up a new Dale Biron example, different set and backdrop to show the difference.
Key light is a Chimera softbox and a Pepper Light for the hair light. Camera is a Sony PD-100A DVCAM, a collectable these days and a wonderful camera. Uses 3 CCDs and no CMOS sensors.
I so regret not smiling more....

Kitchen Becomes Studio!

Literally, not in a real estate sense.

Working with Dale Biron to produce some new video for his Public Speaking and Poetry As Change Agent seminars, I decided to make use of the space we had (our kitchen) for the set. I'm sure Dale could find a poem that would give voice to that effort of "making do and doing right."

Used a conventional two light set up, with muslin backdrop. Fortunately, the dogs remained quiet while the tape was rolling... one down side of not having a studio, location sound can be tricky with unexpected party crashers.

Dale just completed a wildly successful series of classes at Dominican College in San Rafael is eager to start a new series next Spring. Check out his website for more info and maybe eventually a glimpse at the videos we made.
