fast lens, lots of light, tripod and 10fps

One word - tripod.

Ask Jeremy Hackett

My guess:
1. Tripod (don't move it)
2. Skill with pen tool and masking
3. Good color correction skills- If you shoot in manual mode you shouldn't need to do much, if any, color correcting.grymes
- Aye, just correcting to taste or preference. If its a long shoot, you may have to compensate for changing light.harlequino

tripod and burst mode?
- imadesigner0
If you're in London give me a call, I can do it.

BonSeff is correct. And first, you must find a dandy.

:) love the comments :) any chance how to adjust the settings on a canon 350d ?
- should be one of the buttons on the back - drive mode > continuous shootingacescence

this is shopped... where did the skateboard go?
- erikjonsson0
yeah that looks like atleast 6 fps
- neverblink0
Your 350D only does 3fps, I don't think that will be fast enough

While the right circumstances may make it possible to shoot this continuously, outside logistics make me think it is a composite image.
-Did they find a model who is comfortable on a skateboard, or a skateboarder who is approved talent by the client?
-If a model, wouldn't he just pose in progressive shots?
-Would there be room in the budget for the additional insurance needed to cover talent since they may be on a moving skateboard? May sound silly, but that's dangerous, and one smack on the pavement affects the model's ability to work.
I'm going with shopped, but the pre-planning alone scares me.- Also just throwing this out there to see what pro photographers think of those logistics, based on experience.harlequino
- sounds like working with you would be a chore.********
- 'the pre-planning alone scares me.' – it's a guy jumping off a skateboard in Regents Park, hardly Moonraker********
- btw it's clearly someone familiar with skateboards, from the initial pose.********
- Have you ever worked for large brands? Pre-pro would be at least a week.harlequino
- Most shoots, every last thing is approved by brand mangers and insured. Doesn't matter if its Moonraker or squatting...harlequino
- no I still live in mommy's basement********
- on a skateboard.
But this is what account people and producers are for.harlequino - i know what you're saying, but the guy just wanted to know how to recreate the shot, not how many producers to hire********
- I get that. Not saying he should, that's absurd. Was more curious about pros who have been through the...harlequino
- pipeline and how they deal with it. I've been through it, looking for experienced thoughts. That's all.harlequino
- Plus, if one is looking to grow and do more brand work, it helps to have an awareness of this side of things.harlequino
- you're an experienced professional, you have been through it all, you have worked with major brands.********

The first two and the last one, could be taken as single stand-alone still shots using the tripod and shutter release cable,
Take the third one separately while he's in the air, and take as many as you needed to get the one you wanted just right.
Then composite them all together as one exposure (on the chosen 'air shot') in post - photoshop work

you can recreate it even with a slow camera, you will need a strobe which can fire 6 times per second. then you don't even need to shop it.

are you guys joking?
all you have to do is set up a tripod and take several shots of the guy in whatever positions you want. lay them on top of each other in photoshop and erase bits so there are multiple figures in the frame. done.
just because it looks like it was done in one take doesn't mean it was
- scarabin0
you don't have to use the pen tool or mask anything at all

Find quadruplits and hang the third guy in the air with fish strings.
