Concept
AN ALL-BLACK SET DESIGN, POWER TURNING ON AND OFF, AND A TRANSITION BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT ARE JUST A FEW OF THE INITIAL IDEAS THROWN AROUND. OUT OF THIS, BLACKOUT WAS BORN. AN EARLY MORNING LUGGING AN ENTIRE BASKETBALL RING AND ACCOMPANYING BENCH AND PLANT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DUNES WAS ALL WORTH IT WHEN SITTING BACK AND ENJOYING THE FINAL PRODUCT.
Behind the SceneS
The Process
WE PRODUCED AND SOURCED ALL PROPS AND SPENT THE DAY BEFORE PAINTING AND PREPPING THE SET. ON THE DAY OF THE SHOOT WAS AN EARLY START IN WHICH WE LUGGED THE BASKETBALL HOOP AND REST OF THE SET ACCROSS THE SAND DUNES IN CRONULLA. BY THE TIME WE STARTED WE WERE ALREADY SWEATING AND EXHAUSTED. NOT SURPRISINGLY, YOU REALLY FEEL THE ELEMENTS ON TOP OF A SAND DUNE. PUSHING THROUGH WE MANAGED TO GET WHAT WE NEEDED.
Equipment
THIS WAS A SMALL RUN-AND-GUN SETUP USING OUR LIGHTWEIGHT EQUIPMENT GIVEN THE LOCATION REQUIRED US TO CARRY IT ALL THERE.
