Had a lot of fun shooting this dark academia short over the summer. Huge shoutout to the small but mighty cam and g&e team that crushed it 💪

Camera II Test | November 2025
Been very into cyberpunk sci-fi recently, so this was admittedly less of a test and more of an excuse for me to play with that look. I was inspired by a levelling laser in Home Depot to try a home-made“laser scan” effect by rigging it to an overhead jib on a dolly that trucks parallel to the actor. Overall, I’m quite happy with how the shots turned out given the time/budget. Hopefully I’ll get to revisit this style on a real project soon.
Thanks to everyone below that helped bring this to life!
