Poor man’s Motion Controlled Shot
When people looks @ this shot the first thing they think is Motion Control, however we were able to use a technique that allows for some multiple passing shots duplicating the main character without the big expense.
Here is the trick:
We shot using a laser on the dolly pointing down at the floor which was marked with tape,
We timed the move with a stop watch at each mark along the track of the dolly. We panned only in the beginning of the shot, locking boom and head tilt, keeping the cam @ eye level.
We shot @ 720 P 60 fps to obtain timing resolution on a edit time base of 24 fps, this allowed us to control the layers, adjusting time remapping to match all plates together.
We roto each layer and created shadows and floor reflections in After Effects.
Add some color correction and it’s done. It’s time consuming but simple and also 40 K cheaper :)
Let me know if you have any questions.
Go shoot! Have Fun !!

Visual Effects Design & Planning:
Where do I begin? As a Visual Effects Supervisor I encourage our clients to come to me in the development phase of their project so that I can contribute to the possibilities available and hopefully inspire them with examples that shine some light on what’s involved in creating the effects they need so they can make accurate budgets and production schedule decisions. Often times we can catch a few things that can save money without compromising on quality.
Do I need "On-set Visual Effects Supervision"?
Is it 24 or 120 fps?,
Can I move the camera?
Hold on I think you need tracking markers there....
Oops is it green or blue screen... cut, cut we need a blond !!.
Is this reflection OK? or should I do a "TAKE 2" on this one?
Sounds familiar?
Nothing is more important than experience when it comes to making the right call and there's no time to Google your way out of this one...
At Two Door FX, we have 2 VFX Supervisors on staff who are available for the shoots to work directly with the Director and DP to ensure no costly mistakes
are made in the shooting process and that you get exactly the plates you need to composite the effect you are looking for, every time .
