Transformation Test Outtakes

Added 2025-07-17 14:30:03 +0000 UTC

Whenever we shoot narrative or even test based scenes, we naturally shoot as many takes as makes sense. Even on a packed single day, as was the case of this particular shoot, we aimed to get at least 2-3 takes of each shot, breaking in between for any makeup or costume adjustments etc.

For example, the time between shots that had no additional hair (and claws) was about an hour, then we press on. With such limited time, the hair effect was degraded somewhat without the real ability to reset or renew, so as such, certain shots were lost all together.

Ultimately, as with the last shot in this video, we had to call it a day based on limited options to further progress the scene.

However, tests like this are meant to illustrate what works, but more importantly, what does not, before we commit to much higher costing shoots, which in this case, to get the correct effect, could take weeks.
