"The Shot" who saw the episode with the 90 Canon cameras firing at once?!

chabooky386 · 27th of November 2007 (Tue)

Tell me you wouldn't have had some total fun with that setup?!

For the people that didn't see the show, it was a setup of 90 cameras side by side. The purpose of the setup was to have a 3D image taken at a click of one simple button.

From VH1: The next day, the photographers were taken to a room with about a billion cameras and told they would be given two models, a trampoline and the ability to create 3-D photographs. “

You can only see a little bit of the setup here. It's a line of cameras strung together.

I thought they looked like 30d's with a 50, the LCD looked too big for a 20. awesome setup tho and those photographers were retards, they kept using the fan and the tramp for a hair ad and none of them did the classice hair toss, not to mention the hair looked like poo and none of them asked for it to be styled.

Yeah I don't know how all these contestants got hand selected supposedly...

I always miss it on Sundays so I just watched this episode. I told a friend that this show is like Jerry Springer for Photographers. When life is getting you down, turn on Springer - those people have it worse than you.

The Shot makes me feel good about a Photographer - I like that I can mentally brainstorm through the information the photographers are given and then see if these 'experts' are thinking along the same lines. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't but I must say that usually I end up on a side that the judges are looking for.

I'm no fashion photographer by far, but some of this stuff is common sense. The Hair Stylist is the expert, I would be on him like a hawk. He was visibly upset at the results. I don't know hair, he does.

If I was on John's team I would have captured the hair, had the models give emotion to a bank of cameras together (preferably so the sweep comes from behind them and ends with both girls focusing on one camera bank for a buildup of emotion). And to be honest, cut the fans and kill the trampolines. Thats a safe shot, then go into something wilder.

THEN and only THEN cut the models loose, and spend a few minutes just goofing off with the camera setup.

Put my money on John to win it anyways, he's the only one that went to a higher elevation during the volley ball game after I screamed at the TV for about five minutes to get HIGHER! I was thinking more of a ladder at the net, but that'll work.

I'm going to have to start watching this show. That way I can start another "The Shot" thread. We need more of them here.

I watched it once which was the episode of them shooting some kids where that guy Ivan (sp?) was eliminated.

What time it usually shows?
