Jeremy Smith said...<br /><br />I see some special effects at the TV sideshow (around 4:00): the background mountains don't zoom properly (which could indicate a blue screen). But otherwise, well done."<br /><br />As Anonymous above pointed out, that wasn't a blue screen or composition error... but a classic cinema technique of framing a shot and inducing a sense of feeling into it... The Dolly Zoom. Also known as the "vertigo shot", Hitchcock Zoom, Depth of Field Shot and Flat Zoom. You'll see lots of examples of it on youtube. (Best one is here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vm54QL8iZc" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vm54QL8iZc</a> ) You see it the most during panic inducing or "grim realization" moments on film.<br /><br />It involves zooming in (or out) the camera's lense while going in the opposite direction at the same rate of zoom on a track, stedicam or cart. Since the cart/stedicam was definitely moving backwards, they zoomed IN towards Robert in order to prevent the TV's from showing too soon... which gives you the impression that the mountains just suddenly grew apart from everything else.<br /><br />The reason for Robert didn't zoom in along with the mountains is because the pace of the camera slightly picked up during the zoom, keeping Robert roughly the same size until the cameras zoomed back out again (you see more of his legs after the zoom out).<br /><br />The effect was done probably to help time the reveal, but I liked a (probably unintended) affect it had: Setting up a slightly disorientated feeling to heighten the reveal.<br /><br />Impressive work on this commercial.Jimbonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10760709.post-31339276663135976672009-09-04T21:43:42.674-04:002009-09-04T21:43:42.674-04:00Stay thirsty my friend...Stay thirsty my friend...wafflesnfalafelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079348600838223723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10760709.post-12208615930031077752009-09-04T19:57:42.421-04:002009-09-04T19:57:42.421-04:00Let's not nitpick at it.
