Btw, I don't know know if this is work safe necessarily - not if your boss objects to women in swimsuits certainly - although it's not dodgy in the slightest.
But the video is funny and great from a practical photography point of view, rather than pervy. Just saying like.
I can barely point my flash in the right direction on Earth, let alone zero-g!
That is good stuff - it is interesting to see everyone calmly taking the repeated parabolic flights in their stride - I imagine it's a bit nerve-wracking at first.
The funny thing is that the still pictures aren't really dramatic in this age of digital photo manipulation - i.e. they could easily have been mocked up in full gravity. The video is a lot more revealing (no pun intended)
Yes somewhat cheaper and barely less effective to just do it on Photoshop as you say then, given that the pictures aren't that great anyway.
Tell you what though, if I was a member of that creative team, I'd damn-well be lobbying for the flight and downplaying the possibility of doing it as a digital manipulation!
"Digital manipulation"..there's some of that going on at 00:31.
What job is that one then?.."plumper"..."key grip"..."tissue correction"..
where do I apply?

Kate Upton is one of world's top models at the moment so I imagine that 13 * £5000, plus photographers' fees, was chickenfeed in the grand scheme of her overall fee.

True. I've been on photoshoots with some of the world's crappest models and still thought it amazing how much some clients are prepared to throw at a shoot
In reply to Blue Straggler:
The "Zero Gravity Corporation" logo was suspiciously prominent throughout, it seems unlikely they paid full price. (Besides, there's no way 13 flights would cost 13x the price of a single flight.)
Still seems a pretty staggering amount of money to spend to generate some fairly meh photos though.

You answered your second point with your first. It's not really about the finished product in this case. It's about circulating names and strengthening brands.
The photos weren't the point of the shoot. Yeah, I can see that. I'm just a bit baffled by the vast resources being brought to bear on er.. well, I suppose I'm just a bit baffled generally.
