BTS makes it look simple.
it looks like I’m just walking behind a few people
going up a set of stairs.
Nothing too crazy.
and not defiantly not cinematic.
But I’m watching how the light is wrapping through those windows.
Waiting for the spacing to feel right between each person.
Tracking the movement so the reveal hits at the exact moment the the camera gets to the top of the stairs.
I’m not following them.
I’m building the shot while it’s happening.
And that’s the part most people miss.
It’s not just the camera.
It’s not just the location.
It’s seeing something before it exists.
