Pinball
So, Kenny needed a ride to TO this morning to do his celebrity portrait and I offered him a ride. We got to the Rogers Center and sat and waited on the Off The Record set for Pinball Clemons to show up. They were doing tv spots for a promotional campaign and Kenny was basically allowed to just shoot from behind the TV cameras. It was pretty fun, Pinball is a great guy, super nice, he gave us hugs when he was introduced to us. The TV guys were using their own lights and stuff, so we didn't really need to light anything, it was pretty nice. I was supposed to just be there to help with anything, but I ended up shooting too, no set up or anything, so why not. The first two are just tight and bright stuff, he's got good facial expressions, and he's very animated. The last one, the TV camera guy had zoomed in on his championship ring and Pinball was looking off camera to see it on a TV sitting to the right of the stage.

Pinball has some of the best "bulgy" eyes in the biz. Cool shots man....
Keep in mind that your white balance may be a little on the yellow side. For TV guns.....keep this in mind for scrums.....that a quick fix is changing your white balance to 3200K for most TV lights. Or, the incandescent setting works pretty good too. It can produce a noticable difference.
A good little tutorial about lights....
