Imstepf Films sets roof on FIRE~

What's a happening on set? Well I tell you chums. Things are on fire at the moment on set. Pyro maniac is the key descriptor here people. Our film department is playing with matches again. We love flames, so why not put them on the reel? We're burning everything under the sun to see what it looks like in the lens. Exciting isn't it? Well flames are so luscious, fiery, they are wild too!
Flames are always changing, so not one image is the same. Stay tuned for the some results!

Flaming Vegetables

We hit the ground running and felt a thunder shower of desire storm the set with the idea of firing up the burners to shoot up some flames... there are some amazing spots out there. Main stream stuff the the red lobster, apple bees, places like this always throw in a flam shot of flying veg or protein.. heck flame shish kabobs look sexy. We tried the veggie version.. and blasted our way through plenty of butane. Had a party doing it. We have snippets of it on the IMSTEPF film blog. If you try this at home.. be prepared for mess.. need lots of tarp to cover floors an equipment. Its action food land.

Buena High School

August 2007 brought IMSTEPF Studios Buena High via Alice Sheley of the Photo department. We have been so lucky to be called on by the photo department of Buena High! The very first email came from Alice Sheley back in 2007 and we were blushing with pleasure at the opportunity to serve the photo department in any way we could. We felt perplexed initially because it wasn't a local LA school contacting us but felt the need to respond.

Right now the school needs photo equipment and lots of helpful input for the students to have the best opportunity to excel. We love every chance to pass on the love and reinforcement. Thanks to Alice Sheley of Buena High for reaching out to touch us. We feel like heck why don't we do that ourselves more often??

Alice has inspired us to continue push the envelope of mental limits. Right now we are working methodically on passing on some useful resources to Buena High. The Prop room and workshop is getting a thorough detailing right now to explore what we can pass on to the students in the photo department of Buena High.

We laugh at ourselves because, the exchange with Buena High prompted the studio to examine ways to serve Los Angeles photo departments and high schools. Serving the community is one way we'd love to expand our circle of friends. Thanks to Buena High Arizona /Alice Sheley we feel the inspiration to follow through on the abstract discussions and concepts into making them real.
