To grain or not to grain
Dealing with difficult dilemmas in the post production of my new short film UMA RAPARIGA IMATERIAL/ IMMATERIAL GIRL, like: should I had grain or not?
“People, please! We’re all frightened and horny.”
The quote above is from an episode of The Simpsons, it was my inspiration for the shots I made for the film CONTÁGIO. Production house C.R.I.M. invited 15 directors to do 3 shots for a collective film about the pandemic. The film is available for free at FILMIN.
Wearing chroma key is my go-to for shootings
