Okay, so we were looking for one sharp, directional shadow here. To do this, it was important to use just one main light source: we used Sola 6 + Fresnels from Litepanels. This gave us the focused beam of light we were after. You can use Scrims to block any spillover, but we actually used barn doors to shape our beam.
Though we only wanted one main light source, we used multiple Fresnels to achieve this. Our main one did most of the work, shining from high up and at a decent distance from the product to get a long shadow.
We positioned a second Fresnel to the left to shine directly through our cocktail. This would give us the warm glow we were looking for. Then, we used a rim light from the right to bring some sparkle to the ice on top. To achieve the kind of precise control and cinematic look we were after, we used a Gemini 1x1 panel for this part.
Lastly, we wanted to add just a little subtle movement to this shot, so we set up our camera for a pull-out shot using Magic Carpet PRO Slider and the Genie II Linear supported by a Manfrotto Fast Single Tripod.
This scene was all about soft lighting and production design which mirrored this, as well as the right depth of field. us, futuristic feels for this cocktail shot, and to get this we got a little fancy.
Our goal was to create warm, earthy vibes. We used greens and browns to reflect the colours of old books usually found in the library. We wanted some texture to create depth, so for the background we used a painted green piece of MDF with crown moulding. We perched our cocktail on a dark wooden benchtop.
A key component of this scene was leaf shadows, to create the impression that our summery drink was surrounded by plants. We used the plastic variety. The plants might have been plastic but we wanted to keep our scene alive, so we made sure to whip up our cocktail just before we started shooting. That way, the ice was crisp, and the soda water was fizzing with energy.
For outdoor scenes like this one, you want direct lighting to give crisp shadows. To get the leafy shadows thrown across your product, make sure the distance between the plant and the light is greater than the distance between the plant and the cocktail.
As our key light, we used a Sola 6 position to the left, casting plant shadows across the table. Then, we used a white poly to bounce this back from the other side of the cocktail, filling in some of the shadows and balancing it all out. To perfectly position our poly, we used an Avenger C500 Pelican Clamp and a trusty C stand.
Last week, our video group was given the challenge to create a clear cocktail video. It was a bit of a warmup to start off the year and dust off our holiday stiffness. I, unfortunately, waited until last minute and cut the deadline for our hangout way too close. So, last Thursday, while the kiddos were at school, I was shooting a cocktail video. I then had to scramble through editing and uploading by the time of the hangout.
Happy New Year Friends! We celebrated the new year with a quiet night in. It was too cold to even bother to venture out anyway, wind chills around -30 made staying home a much more appealing option! We welcomed 2018 with pizza, Netflix and a bottle of bubbly and it was just what we needed.
This slightly sweet and boozy twist on a traditional Old Fashioned Cocktail is made with bourbon and a bit of honey. A quick how-to video shows you just how easy it is to make this bourbon based cocktail recipe for your next happy hour or cocktail party. Cheers!
We used props from our local prop house, and chose them to compliment a panelled background. We used a burnt orange pleather table to give a contrasting pop, as well as a few other bits and bobs you might find in a vintage hotel.
We used Sola 6 + Fresnels from Litepanels because they can give us a narrow, focused beam of light. Then, you want to cut any spill with Scrims. In our case, we used barn doors to get that light shaping good and sharp.
Your main Fresnel is really doing the heavy lifting with this, so you want to make sure you position them just right. We started with our directional fresnel from the left, and positioned it high and fairly far away to get a long shadow.
Lastly, we used a third fresnel in the background to light up our panel wall, so we could control the brightness independently. This also gave us a subtle radial gradient. And voila! Some key elements to build the feel of this bygone era around your product. We can practically hear Sean Connery by the pool.
In keeping with the simple look, we only used a couple of lights. First, a Gemini 1x1 to light up our background from above, giving an even falloff. On the plinth and the drink, we used another 1x1 with a Softbox to create soft shadows and highlights from the side.
Transparent objects love backlighting. We went for a single source above and behind our cocktail to stream through it, giving it a nice glow and highlighting the edges of the glass. With a backlight, lens flares can be a bit niggly. To combat this, you can cut the light using a scrim, a floppy or a Matte Box on the camera itself.
The key to this kind of shot is getting everything centred up, which will stop any left to right movement as the cocktail rotates around. We used a laser level to make sure all the centres of the objects were aligned, and controlled it using the Manfrotto Motion app.
We wanted to use the lighting to make it feel like our product was in a big room near a wide window. So, we created soft diffused light as our fill and continued these feels when lighting the background. The idea was to cast a shadow to mirror the way light would hit a windowsill.
For our key light, we added a Gemini 1x1 panel to the right with a Softbox. We complimented this with our Gemini background light, cut with a piece of poly and an Avenger Foamcore Clamp to create that shadow.
We used an Avenger C500 Pelican Clamp and a C stand to make things happen. We started with our key light, a Sola 6+ to the left, with some plants casting shadows across the table. To balance this, we used a white poly bounce on the right of the cocktail, opposite to where that light was coming in. This bounced some light back in and filled in some of the shadows.
Then, we used a Gemini 1x1 for backlighting to illuminate the drink from behind and catch the edge of the glass, and finally, another Sola 6+ fresnel to the left to create our background shadows. This, we balanced out with a Gemini 1x1 LED panel at the back right, softening out those shadows.
To keep the footage dynamic, we remade the drink just before we shot with fresh ice, so it was crispy with nice sharp edges. We topped it up with a bit of soda water so there was some fizzing, crackling energy going on, and we were on our way.
So, there you have it. Some tips and techniques to take cocktail hour and your next food video project to all new levels. Let us know how they worked for you! We love to see what the Syrp Lab community comes up with.
I am a true whiskey guy, and choosing the right whiskey for your cocktails is very important. Some people prefer stronger cocktails made with Bourbon or Rye, which have a high ABV (Alcohol By Volume), but I prefer a smooth taste over strength.
When you can get flavor and smoothness in the same whiskey, you just may have found a new favorite. Some whiskeys out there have a high price tag that can discourage some buyers, but there are a lot of great options on the shelves that should fit most budgets.
The Fancy Free cocktail is essentially an Old Fashioned but replaces sugar or simple syrup with a dash of maraschino cherry liqueur. Erik Lombardo at Maialino in NYC introduced us to this classic cocktail.
I'm Eric --- a husband, father, Louisiana native, and lover of Tex-Mex and double-stacked burgers. On this site, you'll find Southern recipes I learned from my grandmothers using simple, approachable ingredients.
The videos continued to pick up steam over the years, experiencing blips of borderline virality along the way. Then, in May 2019, it happened: The videos exploded across Facebook and Twitter, being shared millions of times, bolstered by one fan favorite in particular: the most unconventional Old-Fashioned preparation the internet had ever seen.
She was stunned when she walked not onto a set, but into a conference room at the Mahalo offices on Colorado Avenue. A black curtain had been draped on the back wall in a perfunctory attempt to dress up the surroundings. In front, a table was set up with dozens of bottles of bottom-shelf alcohol, but, notably, no bartending tools.
TrekMovie recently got its hands on the latest Star Trek themed cocktail book and promptly handed it over to me, our resident mixologist, for a full review. I tried my hand at three recipes from Star Trek Cocktails: A Stellar Compendium and filmed the results (plus some tips and tricks for the aspiring home barmaid).
Mix all ingredients into a shaker FULL of ice. Yes I mean completely full. In a standard sized (1 US Pint or 16 oz) cocktail shaker full to the top with ice, you can get two drinks in there. Now shake it like you mean it (see my advice under the Grasshopper recipe above). The shaking is really the key to get an ice cold, crisp cocktail experience. Serve in a martini glass or fancy wine glass.
Along with the recipes, however, is what makes the book really shine: the pages of commentary and illustrations describing the recipes and how and why we drink them. There are also quotes from Star Trek peppered throughout along with the illustrations.
Star Trek Cocktails: A Stellar Compendium published by Hero Collector, a division of Eaglemoss, is put together nicely and is something you would be proud to have on display in your kitchen. The 154-page hardback book with glossy pages is available now. You can pick it up at Amazon for $22.46. There is also a Kindle version available for $19.24.
I met Kayla at the Vegas Khan a few years ago after one of her panels. Because if she got involved with ST drink recipes, I am all in and purchased this book the other day. It arrived today and I am already creating a couple of drinks. The nice thing is that I can add this to the recipes that I got from the ST: The Experience from Darren, Jeef, Matt, Lydia, and Super Dave (bartenders) from Quarks in Vegas after it closed. As much as I do like a good bourbon or rye Old Fashioned, when Fans get together, this is what we want to be drink. Thank you Kayla!
