Thanks. It was quite a fire hazardous experiment/environment: having 10s (since pressing the camera shutter on self-timmer) to walk from tripod to statue, with room lights off, barely seeing anything because of the ninja suit, dressed with that very flammable nylon suit stepping inches away from burning candles, with the light stick in one hand and the flash trigger on the other hand.
The hardest thing to pull off were the stable concentric led orbits, had to DIY an axle using lego that was held by an s-bracket mounted on a giraffe arm above the statue.
Flashes used: Godox AD200pro with snoot at camera left 45 deg above statue head, Godox AD300PRO with strip box as key light at camera right.
About 10 attempts to get an acceptable result.
want to repeat with a live model that can stand absolutely still for 13s...
