So we did our first sample model photo-shoot this weekend in prep for the website launch, and bombed spectacularly. Looking at the diversity of models everything looked good, looking at the quality of the shots things just didn't pan out.
Lighting issues, focus, zoom-in. I realize that for an effective product display a good representation of skill and quality is key. Looking at the minis we were shooting, we WERE trying to convey various levels of quality the client might be looking for, so some were meant to look table-top quality. However the shots of the award winning figures came out looking pretty much the same as the 'tabletop' models...take a look.
Here's an example of tabletop quality....
You can't even see the green that those transitions go up to or the subtle highlights in the shadow side.
All being said and done we did get some good shots, like Gord's ork that recently won 1st place at GW's Paintapalooza:
Or one of the models from his army that won "best painted" at this year's gottacon 40K tournament:
So stay tuned everyone, there will be a post coming soon with a variety of sample shots with close-ups after the weekend. We're also in the process of writing copy for the website. The key hold ups on the website are copy and images, the framework is already built, domains and hosting acquired as well, so all going well we're looking at a full-scale launch of Beautiful Warfare by Monday, week after next.
