8th friday night shoot “Hard Rock Lighting” [review]

This time the friday night theme was called "Hard Rock Lighting". We invited a 3 man rock band to the studio and wanted to show how to arrange and lighten up such an rocking shoot. Primary two light setups were shown. The 1st setup we used two strip lights to add a hard rim light to the persons and the key light was our large Octabox which was positioned directly from up in front. The 2nd setup was to simulate a stage light from a gig. Therefore we used a beauty dish as key light, a soft box as fill light and a flash with barn doors and a blue gel behind the scene to to bring some color in. Underneath that colored flash we set up our new fog machine.

The three guys, Jannis, Nikita und Atilla brought a ton of music equipment to the studio, 4 Guitars, 2 complete drum sets and many more. To much to use all that stuff during the shoot. Beside that, after a short warm up, they did an awesome job in front of the cam until the last minute of the shooting! And, last but not least, they had a lot of fun as you can see in the pictures! Thank you guys! You did a perfect job!

After we finished the 2nd setup it was time for an open round. We decided to build up a 3rd setup and tried many different settings, positions and ideas.

The evening was filled with a lot of rock music and we think, it was a blast for everyone! And at the end, as always, a making of video of this workshop. This time filmed and produced by Daniel Neu (Crowbar Productions). Thank you for your time and that fantastic video!
