The REAL Kite Team ad is complete! After three photoshoots, lots of brainstorming, and changing of locations it was finished. The shot will be used for an ad in Kiteboarding Magazine. The original version I had envisioned for the shot would have taken about a week to shoot. It would have entailed shooting each person individually at different times of the day, but with the ad being due in 3 days that was not going to be a viable solution.
The next night we shot, Jason, Sam, Brandon, Trevor and Lulu in the back yard. It all went pretty well until we noticed a couple things that needed to be changed. For one, we added a couple more people and then moved locations to satisfy the number of people.
We moved the next nights shoot to the benches in the backyard of REAL. This time I had everything setup and we had the computer there to double-check everything as we had a total of eight people plus me in the photo. It was pretty tough to get a shot where everyone was looking good enough to call it.
We scored the shot we needed and then I spent the rest of the night banging out the ad which was due first thing the next morning, talk about a tight deadline.
