Its always great to shoot somewhere new. I have wanted to get back to Austin for years for the people, food, music, and locations. My friend and photographer Frank Curry helped me out and Janet Henderson my great producer and friend pulled everything together as usual. Enjoyed the best BBQ ever at SaltLick and caught Junior Brown live on stage in a small club. Wish the weather was better but will get back when its warm.

MediaPad PRO rated #1 by PDN magazine

Monday, September 5th, 2011

Many of you know that over a year ago I started developing an app for the iPad. The process was way more involved an stressful than I ever thought it would be. Over the past year we have had several updates and continued to push the app. This week I got early word that PDN ranked it the best way to show multimedia work on a tablet.
This is a huge honor and should really push the app up on the charts, thanks for all the support teamwork from MEDLMOBILE too.

Moving Picture email blast about Orsini & Element Productions

Recent Production: Element Productions and Orsini Studios -
“You Know You Want It”

Boston-based Orsini Studios recently came to South Florida for it’s production of “You Know You Want To,” a commercial for Connecticut Natural Gas. Originally a still photographer, Craig Orsini has recently become a Director Cameraman and partnered with fellow Bostonians, Element Productions.

With plans to shoot at New Art Studios in Miami, Orsini came to Moving Picture for lighting, grip, camera package, lens package, and HD monitors. In addition to equipment rental, Moving Picture provided a supporting crew that consisted of a camera assistant, gaffer, media manager/downloader, and production assistant.

While an experienced DSLR shooter, Orsini chose to shoot this spot with the more robust Sony PMW-F3, provided by Moving Picture and coupled with our Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 lens set to create a film-quality package at a fraction of the price. Recording to Sony 32GB SxS cards, Orsini was also able to rely on Moving Picture to download and back up footage throughout the day.

Subjects were placed in front of a white backdrop for a clean, studio look. The gaffer worked with Orsini to accomplish the ideal lighting scenario. This was done through the construction of a “book light” that makes use of bounced, diffused light. A lamp is directed onto a reflective surface and effectively bounced through a diffusion material onto the subject. The surface (usually white) is adjoined on one side to the diffusion creating an open “V” shape, like a partially open book standing on its end. In this case, the gaffer bounced a 12000W ARRI Fresnel off of a 12′ x 12′ Ultrabounce and then directed it through a 12′ x 12′ light grid cloth. First the Ultrabounce and 12000W Fresnel were set up to achieve the correct angle and then the light grid was brought in. The result was a very soft, directional light that wrapped around the talent. Additional support included ARRI T2 2000W Fresnels, ARRILITE 2000W Open Face fixtures, Matthews Mombo Combo and Hi-Hi Roller stands, and an electrical distribution package.
