Wow, what a great video! I love how down to earth he is, realistic but hope-giving. A video on the post-production would be awesome as well.
My question is: how is he able to extract the models from the white background when the edges are blown white because of the wrap of the rimlights? And what software is he using for the HDR selection between the still or moving parts of the tree and traffic?

I like Joel’s whole series on Framed (Lit UP). I like Joel’s easy going and humble manner, despite his accomplishments, and his simple presentation of information. That being said, using HDR for a studio portrait is a bit like buying pants 4 sizes too large because you have a really long belt.

Off topic but the Framed girl was super cute.

Liked the video. Would have loved to see him put a model in the warehouse HDR shot he did.

Alien Bee’s, Paul C. Buff products, if I am not mistaken use the Balcar standard.
