Test: Depth of Field Test

When storyboarding our Lost section we wanted to incorporate the idea of scale using the smoke monster, as it is a defining feature of Lost. The smoke monster is very big so we decided to experiment with creating it using the limited resources we have.

As avid watchers of Power Rangers as children we remembered the technique that made the mosters appear large by simply positioning them nearer the camera. The video above shows this.

We created a small study to see if it was possible to achieve this effect.
