...scenes from a memory...

memories... thats what my assignment is from my photo in the expanded field class... i tried a few ideas... but all left me feelin incomplete... not enough depth to sustain 10 or more images... alas i was listening to Dreamtheaters Metropolis II: Scenes from a Memory... what a perfect combination... the story i was looking for... the dreams and memories i was wishing were mine...

to read a bit about whats going on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_Pt._2:_Scenes_from_a_Memory

its kinda confusing... highly recommend you grab a copy of the album it would be 70 mins of absolute bliss... this has to be one of dreamtheaters best albums ever...

anyway... i dearly thank the people who made this shoot possible... it was a last minute thing... and i have been trying to put it together for a while... but things just kept fallin thorugh... so thank you guys for helping me out...

Jen, Dean, Pete, Jason and the generous hosts at North C apartment... Toan, Jamal, Sean and Joe(yes joe... you were there in spirit... hope florida was fun... and our wall posts...)



above you see the most complicated photo of the shoot... complicated because i was trying to get a lot of emotions in the photo and lay out the premise of the whole story... Victoria is torn in an affair with the two brother's the Miracle(R) and Jullian(L). we were trying to show her having a secret affair with the Miracle... I was initially trying to have Nicolas in the photo too (played by our friend Dean in the series...) but it just because to complicated and too much info onto a single photo...

techy stuff:
this was lit with 4 sb-800s one sitting on the camera the rest are either on the window ledge on the left... on a light stand right above my head and one with Jason on the right lighting toan...

we were goint to shoot the Suicide/murder shots outside... but it just rained so we ended up in the stairwell...

it was a fun 3 hours... :D
