Creator stories & examples

Leave the scene, keep the subject

“The opening of our pottery film needed just the hands and the bowl. I deleted the video background from a close shot filmed in the workshop, then put the transparent clip above a charcoal panel in my editor. That composition gave the opening title a place beside the turning clay.”
