Asking for help creating a mannequin effect from a person standing still.
Hi, I have a simple question. I need to create the effect of several mannequins. The scene looks like there are a few shots of 7 actors who are supposed to act as mannequins at the beginning.
The camera uses movements such as Dolly, Truck, Pedestal and Rack Focus for details on the aforementioned "mannequins".
I need help or advice on how to get rid of the micro-movements that occur when the actors try to be motionless. Because I have so many people there, some are better and some worse, but I couldn't afford better actors because of the budget. I'm still very happy, they did a great job.
Does anyone have experience with this problem? I can't slow down the shot because the main character walks between them. I won't mind if the solution is time-consuming, this is my first official short film, so I want it to look as good as possible.
Thank you and if you want some details of the scene, write and I will describe exactly what is needed 🙂
