Pro Club #66 – Shark energy drink in ice

[Jure Porenta]

Hello,

this was a hard one for me. As I could not find Encapso localy I ordered it from Netherlands. Of course the package did not arrive yet so I had to find another solution. I searched and found a local supplier with some alternative to Encapso. I tried it, but the problem was it never cured fully, even though I waited for 48 hours (it should be ready in 24hours). The front part of the material was ok, the back part not unfortunately.

Regardless, I removed the scene from the mould and tried to shoot it. It was very sticky, so I could not crush it. Therefore just a picture of cans encapsulated in “ice”.

Lighting set-up:
– 1 striplight camera right, shooting at an angle through another screen – main light for the subject
– 1 screen on camera left, with spot light (strobe is not visible in the image) – fill light
– 1 strobe camera left and behind – “hair” light, to accentuate the formation of the ice
– 1 strobe with 2 blue gels for the background

You can see I had to wrap an arm in foil, to prevent it from getting sticky.

Anyway, fun experience, hopefully I will repeat it soon with Encapso.

I look forward to your CC!

Best regards,
Jure/Yuriy
