Creator stories & examples
Faces you choose, stories you keep
“Our street interview had a useful answer just as a passerby stopped behind the speaker. With the face blur tool, I drew a region around that person and set it for the relevant section. The interviewee remained visible, and I kept the uninterrupted answer in the short film for our local history exhibition.”
