Couples Therapy: Some Behind The Scenes Images

Added 2024-10-25 10:04:57 +0000 UTC

Hi there! It's only a short shot, but it took the most effort out of any of the shots in the video to film! Just wanted to share how I achieved the final image in Couple's Therapy when all three of us are lying in the burrow. Now the shot is quite dark, so hopefully you noticed the soil I was lying on...? Please say you did! So to achieve this incredibly impactful shot, that you all definitely noticed the soil on, I first taped some brown photography paper to my office floor and positioned the camera above looking directly down at the frame. This paper served to frame the shot, I knew that everything in shot would need to be on the paper, so I positioned the monsters in frame and then grabbed a spade! I dug a load of soil out of the weird patch of ground behind my office, it was whispering to me as I dug deeper. But I'm sure that's pretty normal. I sprinkled the soil around the monsters on the paper and then pressed record and laid down into shot myself. I'm sure that's an over explanation when I could have just said "I poured some soil on the floor", but I do like a ramble! Oh yeah, not to forgot I replaced the soil when I had finished and this seemed to stop the whispers... for now...
