  • Gaffer & Gear 52 - Skin Care Commercial - Glamour Shots
    A run through of some lighting setups for a skin care commercial I worked on about a year ago.
    A big thank you to Cinematographer Rod Pollard
    Please note I was coming down with the flu as I was shooting this, so my apologies if my dialog is not clear!

    Great breakdown with fantastic detail of very fine looking footage! You are a credit to your profession. Thank you for taking the time to share. When I hear the murmurings of "you're giving away all the secrets" I think it comes from a lack of global awareness that this is actually the way mentoring is done now and when we share knowledge it makes us all better members of whatever crew we're on. Keep it up:)

    Thank you for sharing Andrew. I think your channel is gold, showing young people interested in the industry that there's more to the visual side than simply Director or DOP. Having worked under an experienced Gaffer for 4 years, the knowledge I've gained and respect for the Gaffer is unmeasurable for my long term goal as DOP of features. I still Gaff from time to time on smaller shoots in my home town, and can resonate that perception by many: Gaffers put lights on stands. Gaffers are at the tip of the spear of productions with knowledge and advise that is suuuuuper valuable.

    Cheers Andrew! Your parting comment meant a lot. I worked in Hollywood for thirty years, mostly as a lighting tech and later gaffer. Because I was a member of the IA (a labor union) I often felt my contributions were discounted. You are lucky to be affiliated with a DP who values your work, instead of simply taking all the credit. Your lighting is beautiful and it is appropriate that people are made aware that this is a team effort -where all the members of a crew bring something special to the job. I am happy to see that you still use old school tech as well. This is the best time to be in the business, where the advantages of the new and the old can be blended together with amazing results! Thank you!

    I absolutely agree with your comment about letting the upper people that lighting department have the knowledge that is required to carry out the shoots. I heavily cooperate with gaffers on shoots as a DOP for a reason - it is a leadership position and carries a heavy backload to make the shoot pop.

Of course lovely work to all, the quality of the night vision goes without saying, but I also especially loooove the specular highlights, polish and texture in the daytime product shot!! I think that's my favourite.
    Spending a tonne of time learning how to controlling light, and / or incorporating lighting / gripping professionals into your budget is always going to drastically improve the quality of your work!

    I've loved and learned from every video you have posted (the tip about orienting gels and diffusion on barn doors to allow heat to escape has never to my knowledge been offered anywhere else) since you began this outstanding channel, but this one was extra special as it made explicit the craft and care invested in what you - with typical understatement - describe as 'a very basic shoot'. If I could create something with one tenth the quality I would be made up! You sir are a born teacher and the wonderful largesse with which you and others (like Luke Serveld) share your incredible wealth of knowledge is quite simply marvellous. A thousand thanks - I will be making your channel required viewing for my students next academic year.
