World Records
By Yngve Ask ( 07.07.2009 13:53 )
Some gigs are more special than others, and this is one of those gigs. Four thousands rounds through an amazing Benelli shotgun, five thousand RAW images through our Nikon D3’s, over 15 hours of video was shot. What was the outcome after 2 days of working with renown trick shooter Kenneth Aspestrand? Three new World Records.
My gear was covered in clay target powder, melons, and I had a few casualties to my gear, as a 14-24 and 24-70 had to be medevaced out. But what won’t we do to get that ”Different View”?
”More stuff under the video, keep scrolling.”
I have worked with Kenneth a number of times over the last 6 years. But this time I wanted to take the full leap. I had seen and taken 1000’s of images seen from below, impressing enough shooting everything from a number of clays, ballons, golfballs, melons, cabbage, barber foam, etc. This time I wanted to get closer, and a different view, as we in Scanout always work to get.
Equipment wise it was easy. A couple of Nikon D3, with 14-24 and 24-70. Some I shot while standing and manually pressing the trigger, some I would take my security preciousness and remotely trigger with a Pocket Wizard. The camera was attached to the crane with a C-clamp and a Magic Arm.
For lighting I used the new Profoto 8a Air as it can follow 9 FPS. I had one 5 foot reflector pointed up to catch the target, and since we didn’t know where the targets would be, the intention was to have a reflector that spread the light over a larger surface. For Kenneth I used a Magnum reflector to light him.
The first day we also had a lot of sunlight, which was reflected with silver Lastolite Skylite reflector and a large silver Trigrip on the ground.
One thing we really liked with the Pro Foto 8 a Air is the fast burn time on the flash. As you can see, it freezes the shotgun pellets in the air. These shots where taken around 1Am in the night, and after two hours Kenneths wife called us up on the telephone, saying politely to think about the neighbors, as we where shooting in his backyard ;)
Hope you like our results, as we had a lot of fun making this!
