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.
