Tilbury Ripple
Projecting a pattern onto a screen made of Savage Translum plastic suspended over a glossy black acrylic panel covered in water (held in by gaffer tape around the edges). Another screen made of tracing-paper to the left has a ball of orange light projected onto it. The ripples are made, by dropping the bottle from about 5mm height. I used Control My Nikon with sound triggering to take the shot from the sound of the bottle hitting the acrylic panel.
Lights: Lencarta 600SF super-fast heads.
Projection attachment from Pixapro, using one of their GoBOs.
The light on the left has a full cut of CTO in it, with the camera set to incandescent white balance to normalize it. This has the effect of making the back light blue. I didn't want to colour the back light blue directly, as it was already at full power due to the amount of light the projector loses.
I use a 100ml syringe to fill the "pool" around the bottle. Really useful for precise placing of water too, and, for sucking the water back out again when you're done :)
