Hey guys,
So tonight I wrapped on a short my group has been working on for two months. It was pretty stressful to make sure everything turned out right from pre-production, building the set, and actually shooting the film....
But as we came to our last shots of the day we realized our establishing shots to open the film didn't look good. I came up with a great idea to dolly across our set and establish our location.
However, we were low on time and the wall of the set was too close to the desks for the dolly and cooke lens to get depth. So I had art split the wall connection and move the whole wall way back. Giving me a good five feet to move track back.
I decided to use the Chapmin and not only dolly with movement but also boom the camera as well. Now when doing this the DP and Director thought that of our 4 shots, 2 were usable, but one more so than the other.
I won't say which because I'd like to get an unaffected response... Can I get your opinions on which of these dolly shots look smoother/better?
For those that will ask this is shot on the Arri Alexa and our focal length changes as we dolly.
