1 year ago
Rainee graduates from Year 12 at the end of this year (2008) so we were stoked to do a shoot with her all done up and looking gorgeous in her formal dress.

this is a great idea as well. do u sell this type of video as a package or something because this is a great idea?
Thanks! Yeah, the video is offered as a package with the photoshoot. It's mainly about the photoshoot but I'm sure we'll have some takers for the video as well.
This may be a personal preference but I found
a few shots, some around 2.14 has visible skin blotches probably from the cold, I recommend to maybe flatten or blow out the mid/shadow so the skin looks smoother, as girls tend to notice this stuff.
I also agree with the skin comment. Much in the way we pick our own work apart, the girl/her friends are going to do the same. This is where HD is almost a curse. Soft focus on the camera or in post may help here.
Keep it up!
Nice work! i think your videos are very inspiring! thank you for sharing!
How do you focus with the hv20+brevis? are you using an external monitor? or are you simply shooting upside-down on the tiny lcd screen?
Thanks for the compliment! The Brevis I've got is the flip version so I see the image right side up. It takes a bit of getting used to but I only use the on-camera LCD for focusing. The magnify/focus assist feature on the HV30 comes in handy for staged stuff but most of the time I'm shooting 'run&gun' style so don't really have the time to use it.
Cheers!

So is this something people in australia do on a regular basis or something? Cause even the senior shots as photographs is not something you'll find people in germany doing... Ouch, that was probably bad english, sorry ;-)
I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say though... People usually just don't have a photoshoot at the end of school. I think it's a nice idea though!
Yeah, at the end of each year each school has what they call a 'Formal'. It's a big deal, especially for the girls. They go all out on a beautiful dress, earrings etc ... and the whole Year 12 class has a large function with a nice meal, dancing - it's basically a big party to celebrate finishing school.
Generally the only photos they get (apart from happy snaps) are fairly boring ones taken against a photo backdrop at the event itself, which is a shame because the girls go to so much effort and look so glamourous.
That's why we've started doing Formal photoshoots, to capture that stage of life and to provide some beautiful photos to go with it.
Let's hope that I can accomplish the same kinda thing when I get my HVX200. Just Keep up the good work and you'll have yourself another big fan!

Even unconsciously used some lighting features of this video in my late lovestory :)
Thanks man, keep up the good work.
Well done, that's quite an awesome way to remember a graduation!
