Dice on the Table Halloween Games Part Two
Okay, my panning between characters works much better in this one. I turned two cips into 3d layers and added an animated camera to pan back and forth between them which makes it feel more realistic since the camera is pivoting on a fixed point instead of sliding back and forth like it was on a dolly. I forgot to white balance between takes so the color is off which you can see in the sofa. Also, despite great care, the tripod got bumped and the shots didn't line up, which meant so more creative dicking around. the comp shot has timing issues but seeing this was already a rewrite and reshoot, I decided to accept the errors. To further complicate things, I messed up with my microphone, recording some shots on the ultra-sensitive mode which meant messing with the audio in post which sucks because it is so easy to mess up the synchronization with the video. I shouldn't prejudice viewers before they see it, but I want to point out John's scene at the end and how there is a slow camera zoom in on him. I loved this effect, I only wish I could act better to truly make that scene as intense as I wanted it.
