Date Uploaded: Mar 22, 2009

 I was inspired by a video I saw on strobist.com blog awhile back about a similar military style shoot that won the shooter a set of pocket wizards. To boot, I've had this fog machine I purchased 2 years ago sitting in my closet doing nothing but taking up space.

My Inspiration for this shoot

So today I was EXCEPTIONALLY bored, and I really wanted to shoot, So I called up my friends, explained to them the concept, And we headed to my apartment buildings' storage area to shoot.

Honestly, I think this is the best work I've ever done. Many thanks to my models Steve (left) and Chris for their participation and collaboration.

The guns are air soft replicas.

WO!! For a minute I thought I was viewing an action/crime episode, this is excellent! I like the lighting and color tones.

Has a video game cut story feel to it - probably the green lighting. In my opinion, the strong light behind the rifleman detracts from the central theme and give the image a feeling of false intensity.
