Get Out Studies

The cinematography in this iconic scene from @jordanpeele 's #getout is really amazing. Upon doing these studies I observed quite a few techniques used to push the narrative. 1. As we begin the scene, Chris is in shadow which represents his uncertainty about visiting Rose's family. This is contrasted with Rose's mother, Missy who begins the scene in the light. She knows what she wants. 2. After entering the room, Chris is backlit by the color blue. This color integral to this scene. The blue is what Missy is trying to get from Chris, the emotional scars of his past. When Missy grabs the tea cup, it is a weapon, used to force Chris to reveal the past, so naturally it MUST be blue. Then when we finally have the flashback and story of Chris's Mother's death, the entire scene is blue. But there is another visual element at play in the flashback. 3. The flashback is mostly blurred which makes it almost look like your peering through water. This separates the flashback visually from the present and helps enforce the idea that it was raining. When we realize Chris is being effected physically by this forced revelation the blur is continued into the present scene, but also.... 4. His eyes are becoming progressively more red until they are bloodshot as he is crying and frozen which of course leads us to the famous line "Now sink into the floor" #storyboard #drawing #sketchbook

Y: The Last Man-Chase scene

An animatic I did based on a script from Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's hit graphic novel series.

Fresh Prince Studies

Did some acting studies from this scene https://youtu.be/Hb1b_dBD46w of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Doing these really showed me how using fewer camera angles can add to the humor of a scene. #drawing #sketchbook #storyboards
