Screen Grabs
Synopsis

Commercial for Four Square Swarm, shot in NYC.

Camera Specs:
Arri Alexa Mini with Cook Mini S4/i lenses.

The director wanted the talent to be in the exact same place within the frame for each shot. What really helped me to achieve this was to use the screen grab & overlay tools on the 7” SmallHD monitor. I could take a screen grab of our first set up, then at our next location, pull it up and use the overlay tool at 50% opacity to dial in the positioning of our talent. This as well as using the same focal length, height and distance from lens to subject was crucial in achieving the directors vision.
