Welcome Back: Budo Canada

After a long year of rolling lockdowns and Covid-19 spikes, gyms are finally reopening here in Toronto, ON. This video highlights the hard work and commitment all fighters exhibit in their training which can finally continue.

Now for the part for myself to look back on in a couple of years. Thes was shot all handheld on the Sony Fx6. The key light used was the Aputure P300c with the softbox and grid with a rim light. Rim light was an Aputure 300d with a fresnel attachment to aid any potential flare. The P300c was the shining star on this shoot as it produced a soft, very directional light that helped cut the subject out from the background. The gym can seem cluttered so managing the lights helped create a cleaner look.

Most, if not all the shots were done at 24p. I wanted a more real-time and personal look, so there was no need for slow motion. The entire piece was shot on a Sony 35mm 1.4. All in all, a run and gun shoot over 4 days. This was a passion project but very glad to be a part of it. Thank you Budo Canada.
