01 | BURGER AND BEER WITH FREDDY CLARK
"Have you watched the documentary series on Disney Plus called ‘Light and Magic?‘ It details the history of Industrial Light and Magic, and how they created the special effects in their groundbreaking efforts in the movies and television from the 1970’s up to today.”
"What does this have to do with a photograph of a burger and a beer? In the final episode they show how they’ve made The Mandalorian with a huge wrap around video screen to create the backgrounds, it’s called The Volume. Why can’t a tabletop photographer do the same thing on a smaller scale?"
02 | STREAKING IN THE RED ROCKS WITH BOB COATES
"This was an interesting photo assignment that I came up with for Platypod at the behest of inventor Dr. T. The concept was to show movement in the scene followed by a freeze of the subject using a rear curtain sync flash."
"To make this work, multiple images were blended together. To attain the streaks, night needs to have fallen, at least for the amount of light I was able to have on scene. I used an LED Panel Pro along with two LED cubes. They were deployed using a Platypod eXtreme mounted on a signpost with the Platypod 36" strap. A Platypod Handle was added, and two goosenecks were attached using the ¼" threaded sockets built into the eXtreme."
03 | FESTIVE FRIENDSGIVING TREATS FEATURING THE PLATYPOD GRIP
“Things are starting to get really festive in our household! We have been decorating and prepping for Friendsgiving get-togethers as well as Thanksgiving which is next Thursday.”
"For our Friendsgiving, I was asked to bring the cranberry sauce. After I began creating this cranberry sauce I thought, 'I need to grab my Platypod rig!' So, I quickly grabbed my Platypod eXtreme with a Platypod Handle, a Platyball Elite ballhead, a Platypod Elbow with LumeCube Panel Pro and our newest piece of gear, the Platypod Grip. This allowed me to create an overhead stovetop setup (on a cool surface, of course) with rubber tips facing downward.”
