Wall Slam
Added 2025-06-29 20:10:40 +0000 UTCThis idea has been on the backburner for a while; I'd say at least a year. Many ways to shoot it, many characters that could fit but I decided now was the time: Aqours just graduated and also I didn't have a better project lined up for the week. Trying to make peak on a weekly schedule is really killing me at this point, it's very very hard.
I lit it a bit lame but it works; a flat look overall. Most of the b-roll was shot after the pop and that really bit me in the ass when I realised Celestine's hands in the b-roll didn't match our master. Crap! Worse yet, I needed at least one piece of that b-roll to cover a very shaky reframe and all I had was a zoom into the balloon with my ugly-ass face front and center in the reflection. Crystal balloons do be like that... If you bought the video you know the blurry mess I'm talking about. Had to kill all detail to conceal that reflection.
Probably should have directed the girls to stand closer to each other instead of leaning over but what we ended up doing works too. It's a very nice video overall, a blow to pop with a cute creative angle to it. Would recommend.
