GARYNADEAUNOW!

An example how I fix perspective in post. I don’t like curved walls, or warped perspectives in my videos especially in architecture.

This screenshot is from my latest dwell shoot.

Jason Koontz (cinematographer) and I would prob rather use a wide TS lens but we don’t always have one on hand. So I carefully pull and stretch to eliminate distortions (and hopefully not create new ones).

I also don’t like blown out skies. 

So - I had Jason shoot the image at three exposures (a poor man’s hdr) once for the sky, the house, and the ground. I married shots by a simple crop using the rooftop as my dividing line and again on the ground surface. It’s not perfect but it’s a solution. Of course this can only work on locked shots. The end shot reps four layers.

This shot lasts four seconds (It’s not finished, I need to spend more time on color correction)

In dolly shots - I make sure the perspective is fixed at the end or beginning of the shot or where the dolly move ends or begins. Make sense?
