That's not a matte shot, I actually lit that wide shot... Here's a shot I took from ground level with my fingers blacking out the condor with the two 18K's on it -- the real shot in the movie was a high angle to get the lights out of the frame. No post efx.
David,
I just saw Jennifer's Body tonight in my film symposium class with Leonard Maltin (I am a student at USC). I must say, very nice work. I especially loved the wide residential shot you discussed earlier--how long did that take to set up?--and the "fly over" NFL cam-style shot across the school's football field (was that a fly-by-wire rig, or some sort of steadicam shot?).
I can't quite speak to how much I loved the story, but overall it looked and flowed great. Thanks for an entertaining film.
