Shot a music video for director Umar Syed and hip hop artist Blitzkrieg. Shot at a skatepark in Dundas, Ontario. Pretty straight forward performance coverage concept - really maxed out my lighting package to light the large area - though we were limited by dedicated circuits or I would have put up some of my Redheads. The main performance was keyed with 2x Long 4 Kino’s with Cool White tubes - shot at 3200 to give it a blueish cast which I’ll tweak in post. 650’s, a Source 4 Leko and yes Home Depot work lights! provided some back/edge lights. Thanks to gaffer Eric Morrison for the hustle.

Lining up a shot on the dolly.

Director Umar Syed and I stop for a quick picture.

Thinking over my dolly setup. Two Long 4’s in the background key lighting the sequence.

Shot a video as part of a viral advertising campaign for Ecko brand watches. The video features Gavin Sheppard, founder of the Re-Mix Project in Toronto, a group helping local youth, through the use of art and culture. The 30 second video tells very briefly Gavin’s story featuring him narrating his story while flipping through a scrapbook of moments in his life.

Shot the video on an HVX200 at Boa Studios in Toronto. Lighting and grip by barrycheong.com.
