Sorry about this post, mods. I literally spent 45 minutes trying to find what I was after on Google, and failing that, I posted here. And, right on cue, 2 mins later, I stumbled onto what I was looking for.

Hey all,

Found out the technique is called ‘displacement’:

You can let this thread fade away into the bowels of the forum. But just thought I’d post this in here in case anyone ever Googles their way into this thread with a similar question.

Oh, so these are digital effects and not in-camera?

Wow, Richard, thanks for the link to that tutorial. Some great, eye-opening stuff in there!

Hi Rick,

I’m going to be shooting with a RED camera, most likely at 4k.

Thanks for the responses guys. Keep them coming.

As far as “difficulty level”, I don’t think that achieving a look similar to this should be *too* hard to achieve (comparitively speaking, of course), but then again, the director I’m working with did say that “sometimes, making something simple look appealing can be just as challenging as figuring out a way to get a T-Rex to eat Jeff Goldblum.”

What type lens sizes do you think I could use to achieve similar coverage in the close-ups? The lens kit we’ve got access to from a rental house is “Zeiss Ultra Primes – 16mm, 24mm, 32mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm”.

I feel like those are diverse enough to get the shots I want.

As you can probably tell by now, I’m rather naive/inexperienced when it comes to DOP’ing my first shoot, but I’m excited as hell to do it, and am looking forward to applying my enthusiasm and passion to making this work for the director.
