You’ve probably never heard of Blount International, but we bet you have one of their products in your home and don’t even know it. Curious? We were. Blount International, Inc. is a global manufacturer and marketer of replacement parts, equipment, and accessories for the forestry, lawn, and garden; farm, ranch, agriculture, and concrete cutting and finishing markets. Wait! What? Do you own a leaf blower? Blount sells its products in more than 110 countries around the world. Ashley Iser Productions worked with Blount International to showcase the latest updates to their industry.
Go To Team’s Seattle DP, Zach Caby, traveled to Portland OR to help capture the footage. Caby used a C300 for a majority of the shoot, and a Sony F5 to shoot some off-speed b-roll. He also utilized an OSMO to give the b-roll some life.
The lighting setup for this shoot was simple — We set up in their showroom which had track lighting. We were able to play with the track lighting to expose the background to our desire, and it only took one kino 400 to key the interviewers. This was a really fun room to shoot in, as we were able to move some chainsaws and other tools around to make the background more interesting.
The crew and talent were all top notch to work with. It’s always a pleasure working with Ashley Iser Productions and Blount International!
