My friend Spencer Lott is a genius. He is an incredibly talented puppeteer, actor, writer and comedian who also happens to be one of my best friends. (Side note: Spencer’s “Cupcake” video was recently featured on Funnyordie.com, check it out here)
So when he told me he’d been approached by Tallgrass Brewing Co. to help promote their new beer, Velvet Rooster, I was not at all surprised. When he asked if I could help him with some promotional shots of the puppet he built, I was pumped.
Spencer had already filmed a hilarious commercial with the puppet, Victor R. Bantum, which you should watch here.
We met up on Sunday in Kansas City for a very quick shoot. Forgetting my sync cord in Lawrence, I used window light, and the modeling light on my AlienBee B800, which ened up working out quite nicely. Here are some photos from the shoot, including a couple of the processed images:
