New York Knicks

  • Jess Willis

This was a special and exciting project with The New York Knicks, where we built out a substantial lighting rig for a week-long photoshoot in lead up to the season. We took to the New York Knicks training facility in upstate New York to execute. Here we flew feet and feet of truss in a box system that housed over 50 lights. The lights were beam/moving heads that we had complete control over in order to create a number of looks and sets. We also had a few haze machines placed around the set, to further the lighting effect. In addition to the truss, we had hoards of black drape enclose the light system by being attached to the flown truss. This lost all the surrounding light that the gymnasium/facility created. As a project manager, I lead a team on-site for a few days and managed the client(s). We had one full day of set up and build, followed by a few days of shooting.
