I thought some might find this interesting. Art and many others "donated" to this Tiger Lillies Music Video. I keep thinking most of us underlight but 15KW of HMI for three people on a tiny stage?
No denying the quick comps show it was all worth it.

The last minute of the Youtube video on page 3 shows some great use of simple plugins that we all have, combined with what was done in front of the camera. The key to this production is lighting, camera angles, simple compositing and genius.

Fantastic article Bob!!
Thanks for sharing it.
I got a chuckle out of the comment about the RED 18-85 zoom lens on page 3.
For those who don't want to read the whole article, here it is (emphasis on comment from RED added by me).

Adam Wilt’s employer owns three RED cameras and two RED 18-85 zooms. Adam told me a story about how one of the zooms, the one we used, was fairly accurate out of the box--at least when fairly level--but the other was completely off. Focus marks weren’t even close to accurate. He sent it back to RED for adjustment, and then called a while later to see how it was doing.

“We don’t find anything wrong with it,” said RED.

If RED isn’t able to repair it Adam may have to dedicate one of his company’s RED cameras specifically to that lens, mis-adjusting the back focus in order to make it usable. But I guess one can’t complain too loudly. The lens costs 30% of what a real lens would, and you get what you pay for.
