It was a good 20 takes in the room, of a variety of actions.
The clock was a super old antique and very heavy, brought in for the video. It didn’t actually work, but we wanted that the time didn’t actually change. It wasn’t really about passing time.
It was all shot on the Ronin-s using the ‘track’ feature, which gave us the exact same movement of shot each time/take. So it was just carefully cut together, and aligned if needed.
My favourite is the transition from the room to the woods.
I’ll have to do a post on the BTS of that moment, it was very complicated even though it doesn’t look it 😂
i can see the camera movement now that you told me :)
room woods transition had to be tricky. Now looking at it closely, a lot of masking (probably) 😂
first thought was greenscreen, but now i think that the woods shot is the "original". Nicely done.
Close!
The first 2-3 seconds him standing in the woods was him shot on a greenscreen, then he walked off away from the green along with the camera. I shot another clean version of the woods without him for the layer of the trees behind him.
It worked really nice!
