With the release of Super 8 nearing.. we just couldn’t resist doing some test shots inspired by that classic Spielberg look. Yes, we know, it’s directed by J.J. Abrams.. but it’s Spielberg produced (and as most filmmakers know.. they often play a bigger part in the production of a film) and it seems anything that Spielberg touches has a certain quality about it. We decided to look through classic Spielberg trailers and dissected the Super 8 trailer to see what shots we could re-create with our limited resources.. this crane test shot is the product. Keep in mind that we don’t necessarily have a studio lot or studio equipment, but I think it came out rather decently all things considered. We will probably experiment more with the Spielberg effect! Oh— and don’t mind my dead pan face in the first few seconds of the shot. The constant staring up at the light left me blind in between takes. >.< Either way, it’s simply a test shot. :) Enjoy!
