Cold Steel

This is the main protagonist's truck in a new short film. Here's the still I came up with to go with the promo materials...

Love the truck. What was the light setup?

nice shot, why not hdr it? i feel like there are too many shadows

Actually I wanted to shoot for a dark and moody atmosphere since that is how the film is supposed to feel. The story is about an out-of-luck drag racer who gets in trouble with the police following a street race gone bad.

I like it, but two questions: Why a rear view rather than a front view, and why not turn down your key light a bit - the 'R' and area around is almost blown...
