Lucian Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 can anyone speculate on how this was done? i'm assuming one guy with camera and a big ass light walking behind the other? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/tjF57zEbxpI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Thanks!

tupp Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I think that you have basically guessed it, but it doesn't appear to be a "big ass" light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 You don't think? I'm assuming to get enough light to pick this up at night they must have used a fair amount of wattage. But it seems like the camera man is attached to the light so it must be carry-able and able to run off a battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cunningham Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The humanoid shape looks to me to be an animated mask shape most of the time and not "in camera". It could also be put over a shadow that was actually in the footage but that didn't have the ghostly silhouette value they were going for. Much of it feels interpolated in its movements without much of the high-frequency motion that's present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 I think you are right sean, it doesn't completely look like real shadow, but at times you see the shadow interact with the environment in ways on the real deal could, most likely its the real shadow with soft mask overlayed also.

Sean Cunningham Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah, some footage had me totally convinced it was a mask shape and then later on I'd see it hit something that looked a little more complex than that would be practical. Digital + analog is often a winning combo ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupp Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thought I saw a leg move in the beginning, and an elbow move later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacek Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 He just filmed a ghost. There is no trick or magic behind it :blink:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
