Behind the Scenes of Popina Swimwear Shoot

Well my assistant Darren and I had a challenge going to see who can create the best behind the scenes video for this shoot, but Darren decided not to show up for the battle. He would have gotten a beat down anyways. This video is a little longer than my usual, only because this one is packed with goodies and tips. I’m blabbing more than I normally do, but only because Darren made me. He said that you guys wanted to hear me explain stuff more instead of just the visuals. I hope he’s not right, because that means I’ll have to talk more. =P

Plus now the video is like 8 minutes long, who has time to sit there and watch it? Let me know if you like these longer videos or if I should go back to my 3-4 minute videos, that way I’ll know how to film and cut it for future shoots.

I uploaded it to Youtube but those bastards disabled my audio because of the song I chose. So i had to edit with a new song, but i still like the original better. Hope you enjoy this behind the scenes of Popina Swimwear photoshoot!

Here’s the original song on my Vimeo channel but it’s not hi-def because of the 500 megabytes limit.

Thomas Tyner for ESPN

About three months ago, I got a chance to meet the soft spoken Thomas Tyner from Aloha High School for ESPN HS cover and spread shoot, but don’t let his nice guy persona mislead you, on the football field he’s an animal. Thomas led his team to the State Championship last year and won it! Not bad for a Sophomore. Thomas also clocks the fastest time in the State for the 100 meter track event. Speed and power is a great combination for a running back. Can’t wait til he hits the college ranks.

Here’s a clip from our shoot.
