This issue exists on my iPad and my brand new iPhone. There has to be a simple way to reconcile the ground plane - otherwise the AR function is useless. On my iPad Pro, the floor plane hovers about 3 feet in the air - making the scene float above me, rendering my reason for purchasing the app, entirely moot. Unfortunately, I can’t match the ground plane to the floor. I can see the potential of the AR, which is what separates this app from tools like Frame Forge which I also use. That should have been clear pre-purchase.

My first disappointment - it’s a $20 add-on, pushing the price from $40 to $60. I purchased this application for its AR capability.

Each take feels a little bit different, and tells a different story. It’s kind of fun to look back at how different this single shot can be made to look with the simplest changes. Everything becomes exposed for what it is in this final frame. My thought was that Ari finally comes to her senses and she’s sort of saved, even if it’s by her own delusions. I turned on every house light I could for this frame.

I also must praise our very expert and talented Makeup Artist, Kelli Joelle Bartlett, as she did a fantastic job working with me to adjust Ari's appearance throughout the story.ĭay 10: At the end of it all, Ari is surrounded by light. With each new day, I tried to alternate which room contained light to help create that contrast between scenes. If you show a shot of a sunny living room juxtaposed with a darker living room, you’ll instantly know time has changed. To establish time changes, I decided to use contrast between each scene. This script encompassed many days of Ari’s juice fast, and her progression was directly related to that passage of time. There was a constant movement through time, but also a dramatic progression of character, as Ari gradually lost her mind. When I broke down this script, I also knew I needed to establish a strong sense of time. That really sold it and allowed her to interact with the editing since she could essentially click, “cut”. The final touch was adding a keyboard in frame. To create the illusion of light from a computer screen, I used my Litepanel 1x1 Daylight Flood. I chose a 35mm lens to keep my focus from becoming too shallow, yet maintain a close up on Ari. I didn’t want it to look perfect, so I used the sandbag to create a very slight imbalance, as if the camera was sort of thrown in place. I mounted my Nikon D800 on top a sandbag, propped on Ari’s dining table to achieve a low angle, similar to what you would get from a laptop camera.
