How to make an optical illusion video

Video content can feel like a scary thing to budget for. When speaking to clients we like to break down a video into two elements: 1. The messaging (the film script) 2. The production The first is set-in-stone, because like a movie, a video's success will be down to the story. The second is more fluid, so there can be a sliding scale for a production budget. With thought we can produce the video on pretty much any budget. Our 30 second short 'A Different Perspective' is a demonstration of what can be achieved on the lowest budget. We started with the idea of showing an optical illusion on camera and then introducing some simple compositing special effects to make it even more believable. We gave ourselves a day to make the video - from concept to upload. We could have perfected it, improved the effects and extended it to include additional elements...introducing the sliding scale of budget. In this video we show - very quickly - what goes into making the video. We don't discuss sound design and music - because that's the theme of another of our videos coming soon!

If you have any questions please contact us, we'd love to hear from you. enquiries@widesight.co.uk www.widesight.co.uk
