This was a shoot that I got to help Cameron Triggs out with, on set and in post. It was a lot of fun but very hectic. We were to shoot the new Indian motorcycle model, The Bomber, on a small airstrip in North Carolina. The bike has a vintage WWII look and the client located this airstrip because it had a WWII airplane museum and a few planes they were willing to let us shoot with.
We needed to get at least five shots done out side and, because of a few miscommunications, the client was running late and there was a huge storm rolling in. To make matters more tense the planes were aluminum and aren't supose to get wet or they will have to be polished from tip to tail. Also this airstrip is a functioning airport so there were many buildings, planes and other vehicles in the background that were obviously modern and thus out of place if in the shot.
Needless to say with a bit of hustle we got some great images that only needed a few things fixed. On the bottom set I had to remove some background elements. Because of he weather we had to work around the sun and sky so several exposures were need to get all the elements we wanted. The gauge cluster on top of the fuel tank of the silver bike was also not the correct color. The day of the shoot it was black but when it went to production it would be silver so that also needed to be fixed. To see the before and afters better head over to my website.
