The Cooking Channel, the spin off of the Food Network decided to shoot four segments in the Charleston, SC area. Media Central requested Joe Schmitt to provide lighting, sound and a grip for the two day shoot.Schmitt says "I love shooting food, so I knew my Kino Flo package would be perfect for this job. Since I was running sound, this was a great opportunity to see how others light food. It made me feel good that my techniques weren't much different than the big boys."
Director / Producer John Bedolis and DP Peter Rievischl knew exactly what they needed to make the segments a success. Of course shooting with a Panasonic HDX-900 didn't hurt either. Even though both shoot days were long, John and Peter were laid back and easy to work with. Local crew, Joe Schmitt and Chris Simmons had to be on their toes to keep up, adjusting lighting, switching kino bulbs, and moving bounce cards and flags.Special thanks to Jay Schlossberg of Media Central for another great gig!
Lighting used:
-Kino Flo Parabeam 400
-Kino Flo Diva 400
