Hold on to your butts!
In collaboration with Andrew Nixon we created some wind action in the studio of SCC. The wind idea came to me while riding my bike through downtown Sacramento. I saw a motorcyclist on the other side of the street, beard parted straight down the middle with half his hair going over one shoulder, and the second half over the other. I immediately thought I could recreate that energy in a studio setting, and just needed to find the right delivery system for the wind. After trying a few different options we settled on the trusty leaf blower. After the first day of shooting, the response we received from the teaser video was very inspiring and loads of folks wanted to participate. I wanted to see the expressions caused by a short blast of wind in the face. I felt like it was impossible not to react in an interesting way.
Andrew Nixon shot all the video using a Canon 5d mkII and we think the footage is pretty exciting. The still shots were made using Profoto lighting taking advantage of the built in Pocket Wizard, with a Canon 7D.
After many hours spent sifting through nearly 200 gigs of media we present the wind project.
Enjoy it in full screen format in HD.
