Originally posted by yusuf Nice, just wondering why was that rope tied between photographer & the subject (first picture)
It's most likely so the subject and shooter can move around while maintaining a strict distance from each other. I guess that works out to be cost effective way of working with a thin DOF.
Hope this helps.
BTW. I thought the clip was pretty amazing considering the equipment. And I perceived only a few short segments where I sensed the format quality was questionable, but it was not nearly enough to notice had I of not been looking for it. - just amazing.
PS. I initially watched the video by default(non HD), however, after writing this I watched it again in HD and I realized just how amazing it truly is. - it's pure genius! and an inspiration to all. I wonder if the people who made this will publish some tutorials on how they accomplished this?
