Over the past like 6 months I’ve been doing quite a bit of VFX work with my After Effects guru co-director Chris Bragg. So this post will be somewhat related to visual effects and/or CGI.
For one of our scenes, I wanted to ‘turn on’ an in-frame lamp that we carelessly forgot to illuminate while shooting. I did so, and am, for some reason, inexplicably happy with how it turned it. It’s not that it was a particularly tough fix; I think it just hit me as one of those moments of realization like “Wow, I can actually do this!?” And the feeling stuck.
Anyway, you can see the shot in our film, Motam Mundi. Surprisingly, the video above isn’t of the shot in question- I’m too lazy to do that right now. Instead, it’s a little promo/teaser for a piece of software called HDR ReLight.
The app isn’t for doing what I had to do, but I recently came across it on Reddit and thought it was a pretty cool idea all the same: you shoot a (still) photo a bunch of times—with only one light source on at a time. Then, in post, it allows you to digitally brighten/dim, recolor, mix/recombine lights to completely relight the scene—from night to day, even. How nifty! lol
