It doesn\u2019t get much cooler than shooting for the UFC.\u00a0 With a fight coming up, we spent the day with UFC fighter, Johny Hendricks.\u00a0 Armed with an HDX-900 and a MYT Slider, I got cookin\u2019.<\/p>\n

We spent the day at a fitness center that is also the home of a traditional UFC octagon-fighting ring.\u00a0 I lit the ring using two 400w Kobold HMI\u2019s.\u00a0 We killed the house lights to give it a dramatic look.\u00a0 Johny then hopped in the ring and did some training exercises.\u00a0 I shot this b-roll at both 24p and 60p with a resolution of 720p.<\/p>\n

Next, we began to setup for a sit down interview while Johny went for a run.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t long before we had Johny in the hot seat.\u00a0 I used a Kino Flo 400w as a key and a Kino Flo 200w as a greaser.\u00a0 \u201cCountdown to UFC\u201d likes a very cool temperature look.\u00a0 I used HMI\u2019s to light the background.\u00a0 All the Kino Flo\u2019s bulbs were changed to the 5500k.\u00a0 I set the white balance temperature on the camera to about 4300k.<\/p>\n

After the interview, Johny Hendricks left to meet up with his family at Chuck \u2018E\u2019 Cheese.\u00a0 This gave us plenty of time to set up for some \u201chero shots\u201d using the slider.\u00a0 I brought out the Arri 1K and attached a CTB filter.\u00a0 This light was pointed up at the ceiling.\u00a0 I used 1 400w Kobold HMI to hit the left side of our subjects face.\u00a0 A scrim was used to diffuse this light.\u00a0 We were shooting from an extremely low angle.\u00a0 I used two pelican cases as a foundation for the slider.\u00a0 Once we had Johny back in front of the camera we did a variety of framings with the slider movement. \u00a0My producer added that cloudy affect you see to the right by clapping two pitcher rosin bags together.<\/p>\n

Our day ended with Johny Hendricks participating in some more training.\u00a0 This was a pretty cool shoot.\u00a0 It was a lot of fun attaining this cool temperature look that they wanted.\u00a0 At one point I showed the producer the monitor and I asked him, \u201cIs this too blue for you?\u201d\u00a0 He smiled and responded, \u201cThe more blue, the better.\u201d\u00a0 Yup, this was a good day.<\/p>\n
