Beautiful day.
Shot the group hero shot – reservoir dogs style; got a whole shift of workers to spread out and walk towards the camera carrying huge wrenches and sledge hammers etc all back lit and silhouetted by the setting sun, spin drift flowing like a river around their ankles – looks well cool.
Quite a relief to have this set up shot in the bag – its crucial, hard to organise and even harder to get right and there’s only a certain amount of time you can keep a group this size hanging around. It only takes up seconds of the program, but really help sets the tone. Looked well stylish. Altho with this back drop its hard to go wrong.
We also shot the JCB and snow blower clearing snow drifts. Looked fucking brilliant. Thick clouds of powdered snow being pumped into the air in powerful jets, standing out sharp against the brilliant blue sky. Spin drift whipped past around our ankles while the setting sun silhouetted the machines and gave them a lining of golden fire. Shadows so long and sharp they stretched out across the ice pad.
Mundane, but stunning.
