You will also notice I took on a fully directorial role in the photos, after learning that one of my course mates had bought a camera that was capable of doing RAW footage I was eager to ask him for it's services. My course mate Simon was of course happy oblige since it was brand new to him and also wanted to get a handle on the new Black Magic Camera. Since it was his camera and his first time using it, I decided it would be better he do the camera work and I just confirm the shoot before filming; he has great experience in shooting anyway so I had no doubt that he would create some great footage. What was awesome is that we were monitoring from an output screen that was showing the full quality image, live. I was able to see exactly what I was going to get thanks for the Black Magic Camera.
It's great to see smiles on the photos as well, it's let me know that my crew had a good time shooting this because I know I certainly did; there is nothing more for fulling than seeing a shot you've had in your head for a long time finally come to life. One of my favourite parts was when we had about finished, but I wanted to see if I could get one more shot that replicated a wisp shooting through Sophie's hair. We tried a number of different ways and at one point it was literally perfect and shouted yes under my voice, causing Sophie to then laugh along with everyone else.
I have happily allowed my sister, Simon and Sophie to both take these images and when the work is done to use in their portfolio, without them I wouldn't have been able to shoot my idea so they get as much right to it as me.
