A demo built for a specific brief. Not client work: the material shown is sample data, so what is on display is the mechanism.
Film pickups: counter, wide and unshot scene matched to a plate, animated preview
I built the missing coverage for a placeholder feature film scene: the wide master, the counter shot, a note insert and an unshot exterior scene, cut together with two pieces of a placeholder plate into a 40-second 2.39:1 scene at 24 fps. Each built shot follows the plate's staging (same side of the 180 degree line, mirrored eyeline, key light from the window side) and is matched to the plate from measured frames: black point within 3.0, white point within 4.8 and tabletop neutral within 0.2 code values, grain within 10%. Rain, neon flicker and spill, a passing car and headlights are added as VFX, including into the plate, and a placeholder review round of 4 director notes is applied from v001 to v002. All footage is placeholder material drawn for the sample.
