[ERIC] Behind the scenes and final from the latest work of @benedict_spence_dop ⚡ 👉 x more behind the scenes and read 👇 the caption for more insight 💡 🎬For this scene from Eric, the climax of the whole series, we had to get coverage of Vincent (Benedict Cumberbatch) within the Eric costume. 📝Because of the complications of the main exterior shoot day, with 200 extras, we had to shoot these interior Eric shots on a separate day in a studio. 📣Director @forbesforbes and I wanted it to feel like the camera was right there, inside the costume with Vincent, attached to his every move. ⚡From a lighting point of view it had to feel completely believable, like there was a small amount of light leaking through the costume. For this, gaffer @justinewhouse created a white box, made from ultrabounce, and a harder light to push through a pair of “eyeholes” cut in cardboard, lighting Benedict Cumberbatch’s face. This is the only shot in the series we shot on the normal Alexa Mini, this is because it can be stripped down to a very small size. As it had to be attached to an old Steadicam vest, and then attached to Cumberbatch, to give him freedom of movement, it was vital to keep the camera small and lightweight. How did you like it? Let us know in the comments and be ready for another great post about Eric 🍿 We are cooking it and it will be online in a few days @filmmakersworld #filmmakersworld #filmmaking #filmmaker #cinematography
