A surprisingly simple setup with a 63 inch photek softlighter II providing the main light and an sb80 with a snoot providing rim lighting and illuminating the fog. I wish I could say that, like the play, it was an epic production, but we were done in about 20 takes. Post was slight desaturization, slight posterizing, and addition of grain to de-sharpen a bit and make it look a bit more like 800 speed color neg. C&C welcome, even if it's just to complain that Trajen's Roman and 1400 years after the Battle of Troy. http://www.kylecassidy.com/lj/2010/kyle-cassidy-iliad.jpg
