The Grip Guide #5: HMI Lights

From cable etiquette to working with a director of photography, Pixel Corps’s The Grip Guide does an excellent job of explaining some studio concepts, specifically for film and video production. To anyone working with studio equipment (including photographers and music studio engineers), it’s a great resource for refreshing the basics.

I had a blast watching the current lline-up of episodes; sadly, the series was cut short. I asked Pixel Corps’ founder Alex Lindsay, and it seems a sequel is in the works very shortly (involving Kelly Herrin from All-In-One-Truck).

Mind-blowing show, on top of an amazing afternoon family performance. It’s an honour to see the band that got me through my teenage years live.

Stunning cinematography by Kanamé Onoyama. Beautiful use of lighting in this fantastic video. Totally captures the feeling of the music.

At first I thought the way Uitti’s cello is lit up was a neat lighting trick on polished wood – but no, her cello is really made out of aluminium.
