Mike Day Decline 3D Magazine Cover Shoot July '14

Behind the scenes footage of the photo shoot for Decline magazine's Nov/Dec 2014 cover. This cover had to make a big impact because it is timed to be released at the Interbike trade show in Las Vegas. To make it extra special a special printing process was used to create a plastic 3D lenticular image with the photo so we knew we have to get a really good shot and went out of our way to achieve the highest image quality. This video also includes Mike Day talking about his experience changing over from racing BMX to racing MTB and what it was like to be in the photo shoot.

The 3D separation, for anyone interested was actually all done in post. I shot this with a normal Nikon D800 — I knew we needed as much resolution as possible to support the sepparation so I rented the most megapixels I could get my hands on. It also helps allowing us to crop a little more if need be.
