Matching Strobes and Continuous Lights

Strobe Background/Continuous Foreground

The subject is jumping and spinning in this shot, creating this strange effect.  This lighting arrangements freezes a sharp silhouette of the subject because of the strobe light on the background, while the space within the silhouette is blurry because it is lit by continuous light, with a long enough exposure to allow for some real motion.

Matching Octabank and and Beauty Dish

Octabank at about 18 feet

Beauty Dish at about 10 feet.  To better match the shadows, the light source should have been lowered 6 to 12 inches, but would have entered the frame in the top left corner.
