A Look into Making Low-Cost VFX Using Forced Perspective

One big headache of making films on a tight budget is having to sacrifice parts of your story in order to keep the project from costing an arm and a leg. Sometimes that's just the nature of the beast and completely unavoidable, but other times, with a little help from some clever visual effects techniques, we can save money and keep what we want in our films. Vashi Nedomansky of Vashi Visuals reminds us that, at its core, cinema is a medium of illusion. By setting a miniature Humvee in the sand dunes of California, he was able to use forced perspective to shoot a flashback scene with a

About to do the deep dive in force perspective, and love this article on it.

What first caught my mind into the possibility of making movies was the realizing that most ideas, as fantasious or wrecked they may be, come from the daily real life of creators. When I watched a Scorsese film for the first time I was struck by the red lights and the songs and the wet asphalt of New York City; all colors and shapes were reflected in those puddles. The night was dangerous and yet, inviting. Maybe even more: the night was necessary. The kind of characters we see strolling around in the neon-dark are an inevitable part of the city fauna and they make life less easy - by giving us options: here there is more than just "good" and "bad". Scorsese kind of people are the ones who go to church on Sunday morning with their nails still a bit red by the blood they splattered Saturday night, and that's OK for them. Justice may come around at them and they know it is fair. In Mean Streets the deals and the debts made in Little Italy are life-long family ties: the mob follows their vows as religiously as they could be. And when this Johnny Boy turns up a confused and raw local man, the nights are even worse for him. The choices made under neon lights are to be honoured even by blood, if needed. What a dreadful way to find out that loyalty is such a beautiful value.
