Jerry Vo Takes October -- With a Pair of 'Ebay Remotes'
Congrats to Jerry Vo, whose days of annoying strobe misfires are history. Vo shot his way to a free pair of Pocketwizards for the month of October in the Going Wireless contest by using a pair of what have ironically become known as "poverty wizards."
He'll be able to shoot his next model from 1600 feet away.
If you want a shot at the last set of PW's to be given away, you'd better hustle up. The last day to enter a video (or re-tag an existing video) is November 30th. Chop chop.
More on Vo, including links to more of his work, at the Pocketwizard Blog.

That's Explosions in the Sky's song, that is!
Wow The Shoot went great, awesome end result, Jerry definitely deserved the Pocket Wizards.
Anybody knows what kind of flash mount is he using? it looks like it can turns so any way he wants it to. very cool video indeed.
Cool vid:) That model looks like a friend of mine.
Ah man, awesome concept, lighting, model, and execution. I love his gelled background strobes. Congrats on winning the PW's, Jerry!
Hansen,
I'm using the same LumoPro LP632 umbrella mount that you can get from MPEX. I got mine on eBay though. I turn it down 90 degrees so I can tilt the flash up to have a vertical-format snooted light.

PS: Big thank you to David and Phil at PocketWizard for setting this contest up!
you guys are kidding me. awesome lighting?
Very cool.
Great work here... I loved the first tunnel shot, and the canoe shots were really well done. All around, very deserving! Congrats!
Toronto represent! lol
Don Valley Brickworks Downtown Toronto! The brickworks is amazing!
The City of Toronto has been coming after people using brickworks without a permit. So far i know of 2 people with leans against them for the amount of a city commercial permit.
Have fun while you can, great shoot.
I wish I had the money to pull off a shoot like that.
Hey David, I am pleased to see the "on assignment" post. Well done, and well seen. I was thinking about the issue of traveling light and using bare strobes. It occurred to me that using tupperware (fong sphere) on the light on a stick could help spread that key light. I realize that often we think so much about restricting the light that we might miss this option of spreading it.
Tupperware + off camera flash = interesting idea.
That's one of my favorite walls that they splashed paint all over : ( ah well, it's the brickworks..
as a huge EITS fan, i loved the video before as soon as 'yasmin the light started' but man!
JERRY WAY TO GO!
The canoe and tunnel shots were so cool, you deserve this one. Great use of gels and meshing them with your model, and surroundings.
AGAIN AMAZING JOB!

Great job, Jerry. Very nice results. I'll check out more of your work.
good picture jerry
Painting her face was lame. I don't get that at all. She is a beautiful model why the hell would someone want to put paint on her face.
So is leaving anonymous hater comments...

Hey, great work Jerry. My favorite is the first tunnel shot though. Amazing lighting on that one :)
I just have a quick question, if I understand well, you were using 3 wireless flashes (and not strobes), how did you manage to have light on your subject at all times?
Thanks for the info.
Keep up the good work!
