Reconstruction Filming - first cut
Take 27 have made a first draft of the photo-montage filming we carried out yesterday, Sunday 30 September. The attempt to make 30 people look like a congregation of 150 is really taking shape.
This is a test to primarily establish line-up of each section. We filmed six separate groups in various locations in the chapel, and this is a draft composite which we use to see how it looks, roughly, and also to establish what we need to do to hide modern fittings, and indeed damage to walls, etc. We have also applied some colour grading; note the difference in contrast and tone between the raw plate as filmed, on top, and the composite below that.
Bear in mind also that this is a still composite. The final will be a 30secs or so movie clip which will form part of the story of the centenary in 1916.
Visual effects is as much a tool for bringing the past to life as it is for blockbuster movies.

Such a difference between the before and after. Can't wait to see the finished film.
