Another sunny day and another testimonial to do for Purple Shoots. Yesterday we was collecting the testimonial from Scentsational Cottage run by Ruth and Alun Hancock.

As with the last shoot at Something Fresh, I popped into Scentsational Cottage to meet with the owners to run them through the process and to offer them any guidance they needed. This also allows me to get a feel for the layout, I was able to plan where the camera and lights would be for they day.

We had a little bit more room to play with this time so this afforded me the option of using a multi cam setup and use our lantern light to help lift the exposure in the room.

The set up was two cameras placed where the tills where located, we had one wide and one tighter shot that we could switch between. Only one camera is needed for the B-Roll

For the rig, this is all setup on a single tripod and using a 48” slider I have retro fitted this so that it can hold the two cameras, camera monitor, audio recorder and a mini boom arm all from the same tripod.

This allows me to keep the set up compact but very functional. Whilst we had more space there was only really one location we could place the light, however because its a big lantern it did provide for some nice soft light and left the image feeling natural.

Editing was done in a day and has been delivered to Purple Shoots awaiting approval
