Getting Wet With The Cast Of Hawaii Five-O

If you watched my video on how to photograph wakeboarding then you know I'm a big advocate of throwing water at your subjects during a photoshoot! So needless to say I was excited when this behind the scenes video surfaced showing how photographer Art Streiber shot the hero shots for the television show Hawaii Five-O. The whole lighting setup is pretty straightforward: one beauty dish and a bunch of back lights for the water splashes. To create the wave splash look Art fired high pressure water at each of the cast members with a 4,000 gallon water truck. Check out the final image below as well as a few behind the scenes stills from the production.

If you are having trouble with the main video due to regional limitations, try this video:

CBS blocked the video in my country.

mine too - how about throwing this video up on facebook or something that doesn't engage in stupid "we don't like you because your flag has less than 13 stripes" activity?

PROBLEM SOLVED - https://youtubeproxy.org/default.aspx?prx=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

go to youtubeproxy.org and click on videos supported, then you can search the name of the video: "Hawaii Five-0 -Behind the Scenes of the Photoshoot"

hope that does it for the rest of the non-US countries!

Same here :(
And that youtubeproxy site, is temp. down :(

oh how I love Grace Park....and she isn't even from one of those countries with "13 stripes" on their flag....

@ louis- the US is ONE country...we only have one,dont be a hater!!

Yeah sorry about the video being blocked in some areas. It's owned by CBS so I can't just uploaded myself. Click on the full post to see some behind the scenes stills...you should be able to get an idea of what the short 1:30 video is about.

Thank you Rui :)

thx guys. now i can watch the vid.

Quite cool video. Was wondering what they used for the water shots ... only a beauty dish? cool!
