Hey Everybody I'm in preproduction for a commercial, on which I'm looking for some ideas and thoughts for our VFX pack shot. First we shoot a classic product Pack-shot" on location. Afterwords we recreate the whole thing in a Studio but 23 times bigger. The product is a 11cmx11cmx11cm CUBE. Lens 50mm Distance to the corner 50cm Viewpoint above Cube 5cm (PoV total hight 16cm) Angle towards Cube 15 degrees Travelling distance is 15 cm Duration 6 Seconds The recreation is 2.5m x 2.5m x 2.5m Lens 50mm Distance to the corner 11,5m Viewpoint above Cube 1.25cm (PoV total hight 3,75m) Angle towards Cube 15 degrees Travelling distance is 3,45m Duration 6 Seconds The budget is tight and so there is no "Motion Control" which should be the tool to use. Our idea is to recreate the shot by geometrical proportions. But there are definitely some challenges... Time Problem: Hitting the 6 Second mark on the spot... Idea: Over cranking with 100fps. Afterwards correcting the offset with time remapping in the post. What do you guys think about that? Depth of Field (Epic 4K 16:9) Problem: 50mm on 0.5m distance. On a f8, the depth of field is only 2cm. 50mm on 11.5m distance. On a f2, the depth of field is still 3.47 m Unfortunately, the product Cube is like it is and the recreation Cube has to be that big... I'm looking forward for your answers... Thanks a lot Philipp
