Very Angry Neighbors has just released our latest short "Local Hero." It's part of a series called Fame Us. This is the third installment in the series. I did the color correction and graphics on these as well as shoot them. Andy Zilch did the wonderful editing.
One of the fun things with this short was shooting the planning scenes. We wanted the dramatic caper look of a dark room with a flood light in the center. We achieved this by just turning out all the lights and putting black foil around the ceiling fan light. For available light I thought it looked pretty damn good.
Then there was the circling camera movement. We wanted to make it look like it was shot on a Steadicam, but we didn't have access to one. So I just walked really slow. Again, it didn't look too bad for such low budget effects.
I was also happy with the end result of the TV screen replacement at the beginning and end of the short. It was a simple superimpose of the image onto the screen, but changing the blending mode allowed the glare that was existing on the TV to show through. It made it seem a lot more realistic than just a straight superimposed image.
So check it out as well as the others in the series:
