A lost Dio...

Violentfix Veteran Offline --> Posts: 344 --> Join Date: Feb 2005	A lost Dio... I mentioned some of the work that was never finished. The pics below were the start of a Dio that would have probably been my first Special Missions but at the time I was just too deep into Brother's Keeper. The stroyline was a very Special Missions feel with a story driven read depending on writing and photography skills and less on fast paced action. I'm trying to dig up more of these pics but the main folders been misplaced. If or as I find them, I'll put more of them up. __________________ Cobra: The Inner Sanctum

This was one of my favorite shots and it took forever. Getting Stalker to balance like that and getting Snakes to support his weight. The pics are meant to continue with Stalker giving dialog to unfold the story. Snakes about to spring on this guy. Still looking for the throat slit pic. This is a story about an Op gone wrong, I'll leave it at that. __________________ Cobra: The Inner Sanctum Last edited by Violentfix : 03-08-2008 at 04:47 AM.

Wow, VFX, I'm already drooling over this! The first 2 shots, with the inner monologue were amazing! I love it and you captured Lonzo perfectly! I, too, love that shot where SE is lowering him down the cliff. Do your best Scooby-Doo and find this stuff! Incredible...and there was hardly anything to it...incredible...

It's tricky but the main thing I do is use color light gels. They aren't really that expensive. The biggest expense is the lights themselves. A system like the ones in these shots would cost about $200. I was very lucky because i was part of a band at one point that used these for our shows and I ended up with them by default.

But also, the number one thing I do to make the color so rich is that I use the manual settings on my camera, I hardly ever use the presets. It takes time to figure it out and a lot of trail and error but when you get it right, it's well worth the work.
