Can anybody suggest a way to track from an ECU macro shot of an eyeball (pupil), to a Long Mid Shot. I'm shooting with an Arri 16mm camera. Or is their a way I could disguise the use of two differnt lens. via CG or not. Please Help. It was done in the movie Contact, I think, and in falling Down (except out of a mouth). thanks |

Depends on how far you want to pull out. Can you give us a rough estimation? |

It shouldn't be a problem. Just have somebody rack focus on the lens and mount the camera on a dolly or something else that you can move backwards. You will need a lens that can focus very close, but you certinly should be able to do it with one lens. I don't see any way you could do it with two seperate lenses and a cut. You want one continuous shot right? |

If getting a dolly is a problem a wheelchair can work in a pinch. Hopefully I will eventually get around to building my "home-dolly" and if I do I'll share the finished plans here. The last one I built had too much bounce. I think we used too small of a wheelbase.ADOM |

Yes it's continuous pull back to a full body shot of the person. If I use two different lens, how do I disguise a cut? It needs to look uninteruppted. Flash frames of white are cliche at this point in time. Is there a way to digitaly blend the two tracks? |

In Cintact, the eye was CG up to the point the where she blinks, so they never were really close to the eye.
You can hide your cut by doing a morph between the two shots. A morph doesn't have to be between two different subjects.

I don't see why you can't just do it in one shot? It would take less time then trying to blend the two shots in post. It really wouldn't be that hard. |

its because there are two lenses involved, the macro lens (extreme close-ups) and the normal lens.------------------

you could get close to the eye, zoom in on the pupil, and when you pull back, pull back fast while zooming out. |

I know Iyvewyer, but you only need one lens to do the shot. Don't make it more difficult than it is.
One lens, pull back, rack focus - bingo![This message has been edited by Erik S (edited 12-10-2000).] |

Morphing is your answer... i think
Take the first shot with a macro lens and pull back. Then take a second with a normal lens and pull back again to where you want to be. Morph the two clips together to get one seemless one. This should work and make you a very happy person. |
