Reel Downtown showing Republic of Doyle

Last month and for the next several Monday evenings at Solomon’s Lane off Water Street the Nickle Independant Film Festival will be running it’s annual “Reel Downtown” movie showings. They’re pretty neat and it’s a super cool way to spend an evening in this city that hasn’t a drive in theater. :-(

I’d been working on a technique – which some dub “planetary panorama” — specifically to shoot this photo during the first showing of Reel Downtown. I thought it would be a cool trick to show the tallish buildings of downtown combined with the big screen TV and the people watching. Hope you like it!

Reel Downtown Planetary Panorama

The car is a custom bespoke design by Bob Piccott. The paint was a translucent metallic type paint that shifted colors depending on which way the light landed on it. This made it incredibly difficult to shoot and produce accurate colors and further more, it was torture in post.

Everything is 100% custom design, every curve, angle and edge is all straight from Bob himself.

It looks just amazing.
