Use NX2 to edit JPG (or TIFF) photos from any camera, not just Nikon. No need to use Photoshop or other complex image editors. Save .JPG (or .TIF) as .NEF to store all editing steps safely and separately with versioning. Easily output .NEF back to .JPG (or .TIF) for web upload or printing. I’m using NX2 v2.2 and Nik Efex Pro 3.0 for special effects.

So, if you were looking to shoot a campaign for a local hair salon you’d probably be running down some questions in your mind as you worked up your concept. Here are two of the questions Wisconsin-based photographer David E. Jackson asked:
1. Can it be dark and creepy? Yes.
2. Can it involve knives? Yes.
(His answer: “Hells, yes. Sign me up!”)
__________
This whole campaign is 5% budget and 95% bootstrapped inspiration, which makes it especially cool. And David details both the shoot and the entire creative process involved in two lengthy blog posts.
Check out the results/BTS post first, then go back for the comprehensive creative process post, which includes diagrams, a 10-minute video discussion, etc.

See all 11 parts!!! Arguably the most intelligently written film to feature the masterful stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen, Jason and the Argonauts is a colorful adventure that takes full advantage of Harryhausen’s “Dynarama” process. Inspired by the Greek myth, the story begins when the fearless explorer Jason (Todd Armstrong) returns to the kingdom of Thessaly to make his rightful claim to the throne, but the gods proclaim that he must first find the magical Golden Fleece. Consulting Hera, the queen of gods, Jason recruits the brave Argonauts to crew his ship, and they embark on their eventful journey. Along the way they encounter a variety of mythic creatures, including the 100-foot bronze god Talos, the batlike Harpies, the seven-headed reptilian Hydra, and an army of skeletons wielding sword and shield. This last sequence remains one of the finest that Harryhausen ever created, and it’s still as thrilling as anything from the age of digital special effects. Harryhausen was the true auteur of his fantasy films, and his brilliant animation evokes a timeless sense of wonder. Jason and the Argonauts is a prime showcase for Harryhausen’s talent–a wondrous product of pure imagination and filmmaking ingenuity.

As an example of the Nikon D90:s low light film capabilities, I shot this clip entirely during sunset and after (9.30pm to 10.30pm). The scene with the moon should be at ISO3200 and I was using the Nikkor 18-200 VR set to 200mm and aperture f/5.6, some noise there. I visited the same place two nights in a row for this movie, the location is Ersdalen, Hönö island, Sweden. There is sort of a cave right there where I could find shelter against the enormous waves and airborne ocean foam. The camera was at risk 😉 I used a Cokin P121 gradual ND for most of the footage and just the 18-200 VR, no primes. No video adjustments or affects has been added to the clips in post processing. The seagull shouting was recorded during the shoot using a Zoom Handy H2 stereo recorder.
