Indoor Skydiving

We recently did a job that involved a skydiving sequence. We suspended acrobats in front of a blue screen and added wind. I supplied a setting sun for the occasion.

Making the Cube

I've been in Brooklyn helping to prepare a shoot around an 8x8' plexi cube. Sitting in a 50x40 space of pure white. Lifts and straps were used to connect the pieces. Then the inside paper is peeled before sealing the top. Truss and motors are installed to hold my lights. The last of the paper is removed. The top light is 24 Cineo Quantum 120's. Tristan takes some lighting reference stills of our stand in while the cloud/wave effect plays overhead. And the cube and space is ready to shoot.
