this place is a sh*thole
short film • directed by will wightman
it's probably every dp's worst nightmare to have to make a short with only a shit 360 action camera; there's nowhere to hide lighting, the colour is baked in, and there's nowhere even to hide yourself.
this place is a shithole was a practice in lighting with practicals, light sources in frame, and leaning into the shit-ness of our tools.
the director, will wightman, wanted this thing to look totally crazy, with intense coloured lighting
