About 2 months ago, I had the opportunity to work on four very different commercials, within about a 1-month span. Two fashion spots, one spot for Sesame Street and finally a sneaker commercial with a cross marketing twist. I found these four commercials very interesting as they were each so different. Different styles, directors, locations and circumstances. It was really fun to shoot with so much variety. Lets take a look at the lighting setups for each. We’ll start with the first fashion spot.
