Duragear Seat Covers

I would rather cut the roof off of a car to shoot it's interior, but Kevin of Duragear won't let me do that to his.  So, we had to put translume over most of the windows as a scrim and light through them.

We could composite in a scenic view out the windows but in this case plain white keeps the viewer's eye inside the car.

A pretty involved setup.

Testing the lighting before the talent arrives on set.

We are now ready for Ella, the talent.


A little last minute coaching.

My dog would never sit still like that!  My kids either, now that I think about it...

We have found that dogs look happier when they are panting a bit.  In the dead of winter Kevin has had to run around with Ella to get her to pant for the shot.  That mostly just made Kevin pant.

A final shot showing the seat down.

Medifast Testimonial Shots

Shannon Cushion, Brian Gleason, and Michelle Wise of Medifast had us shoot testimonial shots of dieters.  Some of the people had lost over 100 pounds!





Hair and makeup by Gindy Martin.

We shared the studio with Jeff Atkinson of Freedom Digital Media.  He used a green screen to shoot video.

The supervision was intense.

Pete Redel shooting.  He is great with people.
