Split Seconds is a short action film based on the theme of the Rashomon
effect, which is defined as a representation of three different
perspectives of the same event. In order to incorporate the Rashomon
technique, I wanted each perspective to have a different style.
Because of legal constraints, production of some footage had to be
brought in house through the usage of green screen. Keying and masking
the green screen footage complicates reflections, shadows, and depth of
field since the edges need to be fine tuned. Due to creative control, I will be handling chroma-key effects and concentrating on
refining the gamma thresholds. This process will ensure that dominant
objects will be preserved.
Action films are complex, so be prepared for the unexpected. Especially
on the last day or the last scene, which, in this case, had to be
connected seamlessly when both actors were filmed separately! This was
particularly in the dialogues between Sean and Driver in the car.
"Split Seconds" is one of the most costly and challenging shorts I've ever made.
