Super Street Fighting in San Francisco

It’s rare to see basements in Northern California, much less inside the heart of San Francisco. I went to school around the corner from the location where the Capcom Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Launch Party was being held. I always liked the backgrounds from the Street Fighter Stage, so my concept was to make the street be the entrance into the film, the rabbit hole. Once inside it was up to my trusty 85mm f1.4 to save my Canon 7D sensor from the low light. It was fun filming the Fighting Game Community coming together, there’s a shot of MarkMan23 right before the staircase. I enjoyed the low light challenge, and I still enjoy the opening shot.
