    Here’s a camera trick question.

    We’re shooting a spec spot that has a clown walking a 1000ft. ladder into an eight foot box with a talent in the foreground. Same clown on both ends of the ladder. Im looking for a way to shoot it so I dont have to bring the setup back to the studio for green screen. Our current solution is to shoot it in two plates. First with talent and lines, then with just the background clown, then trying to match cut and loop the center of the ladder to make it appear like its continuous and layering the video together. We’re shooting with the RED camera in a low-light environment and a Zeiss lens package.

    Any help or advice would be welcome. Thanks.
