The Curse of the CU

The film starts with a "set up" rather than a traditional, wide establishing shot. The upward pedestal of the camera scans over the protagonist while accentuating his descent in the lift car.

It looks to be a promising and affecting shot.

A possible downside is that every detail of the character is revealed in closeup, requiring detailed modelling and texturing of every element.

Take these shoes as an example...

David's shoe - Sculpt

David's shoe - Sculpt

David's shoe - Retopology

The textures will reveal that they are old and battered, the lack of laces a clue to the situation of their owner. All well and good but... they will be seen closeup so require that much more work.
