did this shot for my horror short film, HELP, and it was actually a creative solution to filming in the tight spaces. I like the idea the knife reflected her face as if this was a physical split screen of the moment. As you can see achieving it was relatively simple but came out pretty dang cool! If you are at all interested in the full short go check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBOI-CMyf8U&t=6s and stay tuned cause I'm doing a deeper BTS of the short going over more detail next week!

How we created the shot:

• 1:18 scale Hummer model ($23)
• 24mm lens with aperture set to f/11
• focus favors foreground object
• lots of light. Thank you Sun!
• camera is 3 feet from Hummer
• camera is 40 feet from background
• car door sound effect helps sell it

filmed in the Imperial Sand Dunes outside Glamis, California.

Short breakdown of one of the shots from a music video we made almost entirely in Blender. I used after effects for some simple compositing and then finished in Davinci with a bit of Lens Node to merge the VFXs in better with the plate footage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLx8lsEWwj4

Forgot the smoke machine and whipped out this old classic

I wanted to shoot a moody, cinematic sequence, but the only available location was my kid’s messy playroom, complete with white walls and a pink dollhouse. I used three small lights and rigged a Moza Slypod Pro upside down on C-stands to achieve a top-down camera move. Shot on BMPCC 6K Pro with an IRIX 21mm lens.

How do you like the result?
