Nike-esque commercial

This is a little commercial I DPed for a church video. We shot it on a Sony CineAlta F900. We used Final Cut Pro and some cold grading.

Thanks!

 

 

I also ask that this video be kept on here. I was given strict instructions to only put this up here to get critiques. We intend to sell this video and do not want any leaks. Thank you, kindly!

Color me stupid and/or ignorant, but since when are church videos shot on F900s? Last I remember it was GL2s and VX1000s...

 

Anyway, I think if you'd keyed from the top, rather than the bottom, it would have been more effective. Seeing the source of the light on the floor was a little sourcey of course, but the backlight look was nice for the most part.

I set the light up on the ground for a couple shots (for the cleats and tape shots), and the director looked at it through the monitor and loved the look even when it became a bit sourcey on the wider shots. Style over realism, I guess. I really did want to rig the light from above, but we were given limited access to the building, so I rigged a diffused PAR from behind and the rim light from the bottom. Then I used a reflector to fill. Thanks for the input.
