SETUP
This stroboscopic shot of an artist paint brush require a stroboscopic
flash unit with 6 flash heads. Each flash head had a different colored
gel over it. Two soft-lights were sandwiched to the sides of the tray
filled with water. A custom waterproof backdrop was placed at the bottom
of the tray. A laser
trigger was used with the beam crossing just over the top of the water
with the camera mounted looking down into the tray. The brush was placed
under the water and laser beam. The stroboscopic unit first fired the
soft-lights with the gelled flash heads firing in sequence thereafter
as I ripped the brush out and across the surface in an arc to maintain
the depth of field. A delay
module was used to allow the brush to clear the surface of the water
before triggering an electronic
cable release. The sequencer was connected to the camera's PC sync
output.
