The seventeenth episode of Creating Fashion with Laurel is nearly complete. We'll be delivering it to PhillyCAM this week. In the episode, Laurel has just barely enough fabric to make a pair of shorts.
I figured out while working on Episode 5 in 2021 (this old post) that as the cameraman, I can get better closeups by erasing myself later.
I'm often standing right next to the host, but you'd never know it. It's a commonly used effect and surprisingly easy to do.
When Tom Cruise jumps from one building to another, he's actually being swung from a crane. Then the crane is digitally removed.
This is how you get really good closeups.
