Another Shoot w/ Circuit City

Today I worked from 11-10:30, we shot some product shots for Circuit City, which mainly consisted of a stereo system, some camera cases. There were a few other things, and there will be even more next week. Its never really that exciting, because its products, but i'm learning a great deal about lighting and how light hits different products, and how to resolve certain lighting issues. The majority of the time, we use a big softbox over the top, then just reflect the light using white foam core or mirrors that are sprayed with dulling spray. I can't really say there was much more today, unless you'd like to know what I ate during the shoot, we ordered lunch from Bakers Crust, again, its not really the greatest place, I think we're starting to dislike it. The place is made out to be gourmet sandwiches but they skimp you. I got a "New Yorker" which was pastrami, swiss, and mustard, few other things, just dont remember. The highlight food of the day was definitely my dinner at the studio, Chicken and Vermicelli from Vietnam I, one of my favorite places in Richmond to eat. Its cheap and it tastes fantastic.

Weekend

Saturday was another basketball game shoot, we showed up at 12 o clock. We showed up early because it was a busy week around campus, so we had to get in there to make sure we had enough time to get everything up and running. The game was good, lots of screaming fans and a conference win, it never can hurt. Besides that, I can't say theres much going on around the studio, we do have 4 upcoming Circuit City shoots, but they're not penciled into the schedule at the moment, we still have to get the objects to photograph and a final date hasn't been reached up to this point. They'll probably happen last this week or sometime next week, should be pretty busy with the basketball tournament coming up as well. Besides Circuit City, I dont know of any other goings on in the studio. Thats about all I've got for now. I would like to add, we finally installed the motorized winch for the enormous softbox. Now we don't have to lift 250 lbs by hand everytime we need to adjust the lights. It should make our jobs a lot easier.
