Director of Photography: "The TKO 2.0"




____In the middle of May, I traveled to Orlando Florida for a 7 day commercial shoot for professional magician Jeff Kaylor. We shot mainly in the "Magic Estate" where a stage was set up for performance purposes. We used this stage as our main backdrop for the commercial piece, "The TKO 2.0." We had a very small lighting package but it got the job done. To light the scene, I used a 650w fresnel to rake the background curtains, two 300w fresnels w/ 216 diffusion as back/edge lights and a 300w bulb threw an umbrella as a key. For fill I bounced another 300w bulb off an umbrella. It was a simple set up but it worked well. For product/close up shots I just made small adjustments.

We also shot some run and gun street magic over the course of the week and that footage looked great as well. It was a relaxing shoot and a great time over all. Check out Jeff here: www.thekayloroption.com.
