[@mywildlifestories3793]

Legend is back. We were badly missing videos of MAESTRO in adorama. Now we have it.

[@ssshortzzz]

love this series

[@therealsteelie]

Absolutely amazing. Loved every element from Joe and his vision, to the makeup, crew, lights and music. Bravo! Take a bow you all deserve it.

[@250GTOAJ]

Great to see the process and the final shots. Thanks Joe, Nick, Marisa, Natasha, Seth and Crew I look forward to the next installment Happy Halloween!

[@davebenson1504]

incredible... the mastery of light and composition

[@mimvlog3236]

Can't remember the last time I saw such beautiful zombies

[@alexanderpons9246]

Freaking amazing, thank you Joe McNally and team! Now this makes Halloween 2020 still exciting regardless of the distancing. Thanks ADORAMA!

[@creativechr1s]

Love this man, your creativity Joe is outstanding

[@pattymattes7124]

This is awesome. Not only is this educational it's entertaining. Thank you! I can't wait to see the next episode. I hope Nik gets a lead on the killer.

[@AnneCahill]

So much fun! Good to see creatives at work again - thanks Adorama:)

[@Valtrach]

I love this!!! 'Bout time we saw how a set really works. I'm a super fan of all the guys and gals at Adorama. Thank you for this video.

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Wow! Great work everyone on the team, and of course to the master creator, Joe McNally. I never get tired of watching you create these outstanding stories in images. Just excellent! (and inspiring) Thank you for sharing this very creative idea, and your results.

[@gvasquez330]

These are such fantastic killer videos of which I cant get enough or wait for new editions between stories and shoots. Well done.

[@MVKrajnak]

Amazing. Giving me inspiration for my own shoot.

[@andrewchisholm3665]

FREAKIN AWESOME

[@SDA0271]

This was so incredibly fun to watch! Thank you to everyone involved!

[@RobbyPedrica]

Taking storytelling and photography to the limit

[@JohnLuna]

you guys went all out on this one 🙌🏽

[@alun7006]

Good grief, that's Marissa under there!? Amazing work from everyone. Really enjoyed watching this come together!

[@wagonwheelfarm3092]

Amazing

[@edgardomanuel7524]

I enjoyed watching! Bravo Joe Mcnally!

[@dcallan812]

Fantastic 👍👍

[@marktomphotography]

So inspiring.

[@jefrench621]

As awesome as the first two installments!!!

[@LivioSoaresDeMedeiros]

What an amazing job. Thank you, guys.

[@GediAstro]

Glad to see you in action Joe! It’s a beam of light (pun intended) in these crazy times. Just FYI, don’t touch your face dude, no face masks in the world will stop that virus from entering then. At least use disinfectant before. Stay safe everyone!

[@teleking58]

Wonderful! Stellar effort and result by all!

[@KenToney]

Hey Joe, long time no see!!

[@brad_in_yyc]

This is a Seth showcase! And he made an appearance within a minute! hahaha. All seriousness, what a great shoot. Thanks for showing us a little bit into how your mind works Joe. The thought process that had to go into this (maybe not as much anymore but over the years, learning this stuff) is amazing. And it's the little details too. Like thinking about illuminating a single tombstone. The background thought. Everything. It's made me re-evaluate a shoot I'm planning for next year! Thanks a lot *joking sarcasm* Turned out great. I hope you make all these photos into some sort of video story with all of them, whenever you finish shooting.

[@jerrym8140]

Amazing work and happy Halloween 👻

[@zenphotojourney]

That was very cool!

[@MilitiaDei]

Great shoot and awesome storytelling :) Just one question, what was that canned smoke you used? Looked thicker and heavier than the products I know.

[@Manuelordorica880]

Awesome production!! Man! I wish I could work with you for a few days at least! beautiful images. Thank you.

[@hawg427]

What an awesome production guys & girls. Great images. Marissa, you should have gone over to Daniels place dressed like that and knocked on his door. LOL

[@virgilplays]

God I love these videos. This might be my favorite thing adorama has done in a while! Keep it up joe!

[@kenamsdell6741]

Great job guys.

[@RonK]

Awesome !

[@WaltWarner]

Very nice! BTW, how was it getting permission to shoot in the cemetery, if needed? Thanks 👻💀👻

[@danbrowning2418]

You are so good!

[@wellingtonvaladaresalmeida5581]

Como sempre maravilhoso, sou seu fã de carteirinha.

[@orisvaldoalmeida1]

Muito bom

[@JerryMac1125]

Marisa, as Gorgeous as ever 🤣😂😅

[@buzbragdon9282]

What's the brand and model of the smoke/fog emitting devices?

[@tylerHphoto]

at the 8min mark how did you have the lights setup in the soft boxes? Pointed at the sides, dome diffuser, etc....

[@astrorickym5300]

Great work! I have two questions, since I am very found of misty sets on location: 1) How was the fog machine powered? 2) What are those smoke cans?

[@buzbragdon9282]

What's the purpose of the sheet plastic under and in front of Joe's tripod?

[@visualsbysanga5523]

Such an elaborate production....just out of ingest how much would a professional photographer charge for such a shoot, how much approximately would the total - models, make up, assistances etc cost?
