It's the spooky season, y'all. For anybody who caught the Modern Rogue Patron Show recently, you'll know that this sort of production setup is extremely my jam. Minimal lighting, big blocks of darkness, stark set, practicals, hazy air, etc.

You'll see a bit more setup in this FPE than usual as I left some cameras rolling while we moved around equipment between explanation and demo. You'll also be able to see some of the strength of the A7S's low light performance during the demo, though I couldn't really push it to its actual performance extremes because we still needed it to look dark to effectively portray the effect. Also note all of the times that Jason kept staring into the mirror to experience the illusion when he wasn't supposed to.

As a side note, for the ad at the end, I was the audio engineer and only camera operator, so you'll see fewer framing adjustments than might otherwise happen. I was just running back and forth between all the cameras and audio to make sure things were running smoothly (amidst the sun setting and lighting changing a bit).
