Once Upon A Time (Fairy Tail Cosplay Video)

First ever video request shoot complete! I was really impressed with the planning that went behind this video as this time I actually had a script to work with, and it was written by none other than the cosplayers themselves! Normally i'd just make a story up on the spot at a photoshoot but doing a solo scripted shoot made me realize that there's way more that can be done with the pre-planning.

A big thanks to all the cosplayers, photographer, and SK who participated in the shoot. It was one of the longest shoots i've ever done (almost solo) and i'm glad I got the chance to have this one-on-one experience with the cast. I've learned a lot from this shoot and I hope I can use the experiences here for my future videos!

Using a slider (Konova K2) for the first time turned out to be pretty challenging. Even though the slider itself was super stable on a static object like a table, it was painstakingly difficult to use on the 2 light stands I brought along to hold them up because I had to keep a steady hand on the fluid head or else the shot would be ruined by jitter. Though I have to say, THE SLIDER ROCKS.
