@david_witsel did something really cool with this shot. Originally, I captured it on a slider, slowly tracking away from the candles. David, in turn, locked the composition in place, creating a clever faux-dolly zoom effect. It’s subtle, but if you check out the next slide, you’ll see a sped-up version of the clip. Notice how the environment seems to warp away from the center of the frame, crafting a delicate yet unsettling dolly zoom effect that immediately draws you into the scene.
This effect, combined with the other beautiful elements in play—the actor’s performance, the music & sounddesign, the lighting, the set design, and the grading—makes this one of my favorite shots we’ve made yet.
Shoutout to director
@aayegal for crafting such a haunting and powerful performance together with actor
@dejongsijmen .
