Bts(Behind the Scenes) of team Soy Sauce

Actress on break...Silk located on the top right corner of the photo.
While our actress take a quick glance at how she looks on camera, I'll take the time to talk about the lighting that was used for our teams skit. Our director, Laura Odoms took photos ahead a time with natural light(sun light) coming through the two windows, bouncing off the white walls. Just in case we didn't have that light source for the day of the shoot, I came over with a light kit, which are available in central. On top of having great light source, the time we scheduled to shoot had the best angle of the suns' ray beaming through the blinds. In the same photo above, you can see an equipment we call a silk. A silks' function is to spread the light to have softer shadows. Light can wrap around the subject more with softer shadows. If you jump to 5:37, you can see how silk(diffusers) are used to change the main light source rendering it as a new form of light source.
