The Cheap Way Out (Blog # 47)

So, in many music video's and movies. The subject is thrust-ed into a black abyss for that moment and many, don't know an easy way to replicate that exact effect. So, here's a cheaper way of doing so.

Some Tips

. For a black drop behind your subject, simply use black material such as bed sheets, muslin or even fleece. Make sure to leave out any creases!

. Lighting is the main part of this as you need good lights and not some crappy lights. This is the fine line of making it crappy or professional. ( Recommended is 800 watt lighting)

. This, if done right is sure to make your video look much more professional.

O-PIN-ION

. I really like this effect, but it has to be done right and in the right situation and not just on random. You can't have your singer for example singing a song about sunshine's and lollipops and being a dark abyss for the lord Satan, can we?

. In my opinion, don't go to cheap. Going to cheap might hit you right back in the face and wil make it look really bad.

Please Answer

. Your opinion on this?
