Rigging A Tire Swing for A Slo-Mo Shot
"An 'ultra high key, painted catalogue look' was Joe Ramos' vision for the cinematography. That description alone had me locked in from the jump. Most setups involved a 12'x12' 1/2 Soft Frost overhead and a combination of bounces. This got us our high key, surreal look, but also allowed us to shoot a super deep stop with rich skies. It was also 100+ degrees, which combined a bunch of mirrors meant we were basically melting whatever was in front of the camera. Shoutout to portable fans, and Emily Edgar for somehow helping maintain the illusion that it was just a nice comfy sunny day." - Mike Dalton, cinematographer
