Behind the scenes snippet from my RISE film with @majesticliondancehtx — I’ve always loved these pull back reveal shots when they’re done well. We start on the drummer and as we pull back we have our Lion duo jump into frame… immediately the viewer should be like “whoa” and as we keep pulling back and curve around we show more of the team watching till we end on the Lion Duo with a nice backlight from the sun ☀️ The whole take wasn’t used in the film but hey, it was still fun to do 😊 (Full film in profile) - 🎞️ RISE HTX: City of Culture Vol. 1 #liondance #lunarnewyear2025 #bts #behindthescenes
