Stunt VFX Breakdown
I’ve been meaning to post this for ages!
In September i was asked in to operate B cam on a stunt day for Hollyoaks for a day, specifically to shoot a few angles of 3 guys jumping off a bridge. The bridge in question ended up being 2 miles down the road from where i grew up which made the commute to work a doddle.
We strung the Red Dragon up over the top of a bridge using a whole load of climbing rope and a stage platform. The camera looked down onto a fake bridge that had been built by the art department.
My part in this all was fairly straight-forwards, working alongside the very talented Simon Cox. (https://vimeo.com/motionfoundation) we shot a few plates from the bridge of the action. Above is a VFX breakdown to show you all the layers we shot and how it all went together in the end. Also a few extra angles we did to bulk out the montage.
Here’s some behind the scenes of me and the camera rig.
