This is the first video for the behind the scenes of the production of Overdrive - Irreverence. In this scene we were shooting the bedroom scene for the chorus. We tried many times to get a dynamic shot of the actress falling on to her bed. We first had her hold the camera on her face and have her fall with the camera to get the shot, that didn't really work as it was hard to get the correct angles on her face. It was also hard for the actress to focus on pointing the camera, acting to the camera and knowing when to fall.
We then tried to have Ben fall with the actress whilst holding the camera recording her. This way we could get the correct angles and the actress did not have to worry about keeping the camera at a distance and angling it herself. But as you can see from the video we quickly realised that there was no way for Ben to stop himself from falling with her.
In the end we had Eddie act as a stopping motion for Ben by holding on to him and pulling him back before he falls. This was successful and we got the shot we wanted.
