Production (filming)

Due to the extensive testing conducted prior to the shoot, filming the short went largely according to plan. Shots that had been rehearsed earlier were executed with the knowledge of potential improvements, and similar to the first test shoot, I was able to capture several images for use as a HDRI. The only issue I encountered arose at the location of the second scene, where a car happened to be parked right next to our filming space. While I had expected the possibility of distant cars, given the nearby car park, having a car right next to our filming area was completely unexpected and an instance of unfortunate luck. Fortunately, the car would only be visible from one angle. Therefore, with some quick reconsideration of the sequence, I decided to split it into two separate shots to avoid the angle where the car would be seen. Both shots would still maintain a suitable stylized look.

By the end of the shoot, I had 840 photos for 3 HDRI images and 70 video clips (including reference shots) to edit into my final short.
