Behind the Scenes: RISD

As I do a lot of film work with Josh Backer at Animal, I thought it fitting to show behind-the-scenes imagery of us on location. This will most likely be a recurring theme on the blog.

On this assignment we were shooting testimonials for a series of promotional videos for Rhode Island School of Design. We've been lucky to be in a creative relationship with RISD for many years producing their video content for online distribution, and if you haven't seen it yet, by all means head over to their home page and check it out.



That's Eric Meier (left) and Josh Backer (right) setting up a shot, while Ethan Backer stands in for the subject.



Cinema noir extraordinaire, Josh Backer, working his magic.



We use these awesome LED light panels on the set. They are light-weight, have variable output and don't get hot... SO much faster and easier than the old Arri kit!



Okay, so it's a geeky camera-porn crew portrait - sorry, I couldn't resist!
