I was tired of using my old wooden gobo,
cutting a tree branch, or making a pattern with a C-Stand and gaffers tape to
create interesting backgrounds for on-camera interviews. I was so over it...
Then one day on the B&H PhotoVideo
website I discovered the Bill Holshevnikoff pattern kit from Chimera. It changed
my life, well not my life, but for sure my camera backgrounds.
My friend, DP Bill Holshevnikoff, created
this kit for Chimera, it's a brilliant idea. The kit comes in two sizes and is
the perfect solution for creating interesting backgrounds FAST. Every time I bring
out my kit, the crew wants to know where to get one. I have the smaller kit and
it's very light, takes up little space but makes a big impact.
I purchased the kit from B&H with
7 patterns and then purchased all the extra patterns. It comes with patterns like:
French door, horizontal blinds, graduating vertical blinds, palm leaves, leaf
breakup and a cucoloris breakup.
With my Canon 5D Mark III and my pattern kit I can create a great look, in no time. It's the perfect addition to anyone's bag of tricks :-)
