JmS Shoot

Posted by David on December 12th, 2009

We were asked by JmS to do a pre-reveal / teaser shoot for his debut videos.  Being a debut, he wanted to be in shadow to leave his audience with a sense of mystery.

No problem.

Originally, we lit the shoot with a lot more lights than we ended up going with.  It was clean, but a bit boring and sterile. We killed some of the lights and when we took a look at the screen, we knew instantly that we nailed it.  The result is a really moody feel that is reminiscent of those masterful portraits of jazz players, on stage in smoke filled clubs.  Man, what I wouldn’t give to shoot in those days.

Do check out his YouTube channel and take a look — his videos are really quite well done.
