CGCookie - Building Modular Game Assets
CGCookie - Building Modular Game Assets
Portalethium is a sci-fi game that the CG Cookie crew developed for the purpose of A) playing and B) learning. It's a tower defense game that was built from the ground up using Blender for 3D asset creation and Unity for game development. We decided that a modular environment was the best way to approach building the game level. Modularity works like Lego's, where pre-built pieces are interchangeable and extensible. This allows for a flexible level-design process that's perfect for iteration. It's also much easier to build a collection of interchangeable pieces than it is to build and texture an entire, un-modular level.

Aside from using a tent set up, Peter Lindbergh often shot with full sun in the middle of the day. This is a look that both Peter and RaRa love, so they decided to recreate the sunlight effect in the studio using a constant light.

Peter, RaRa, and Shiori all teamed up again recently for another lingerie in the city shoot, and as you will see it was absolutely magic! Peter loves using full sun to create fashion images, and was really aiming for Helmut Newton style images. You will notice how quickly we move from spot to spot, and also how minimal Peter’s gear is – when doing this type of work we want to draw as little of attention as possible.

Peter Coulson Photography - Beach Shoot With RaRa
With no reflectors or flashes, in this video Peter will show you why shooting with full sun in the middle of the day is his favourite time to shoot. Carrying extra gear when shooting on location draws more attention so we always keep it minimal and use natural reflectors instead – like the bounce off the white sand at a beach.

Understanding how to run an efficient workflow is a crucial part of running a profitable wedding photography studio. Susan tweaks her workflow on a yearly basis, adding small things that help the client experience, while tightening up on other things that should be running with more efficiency!

The Wedding School - Shooting for the Album
The Wedding School - Shooting for the Album
At The Wedding School’s LIVE Pricing for Profit summit at WHCC, Susan Stripling taught an hour-long class on Shooting for the Album. Many wedding photographers struggle when documenting a wedding day and translating that coverage into an album design for their clients. Should you be thinking about the album layout while you’re shooting, working from a “shot list” to ensure you fill all the template slots in your album design? Should you photograph the wedding without considering the album design at all, and decide on the layout later? Is there even a right decision? And what about album aesthetic? Do you like negative space, busy album designs, collages, or a more fine art approach? Where do you even begin? By the end of this class, Susan Stripling will have laid out all actionable steps so that you can incorporate album design easily into your wedding photography workflow!
