Hide & Seek
"For the Homer-into-the-bush meme, we built a fake bush and rigged a slider so the actor could retreat in an uncanny way. I really wanted to do this practically on set, with no VFX - it adds to the comedy. For the look, I wanted something painterly. I aimed for clean, poppy images with textured skin tones. DOF was a major lever. Often very deep to get that painting-like clarity in the wides, then shifting to very high contrast and richer texture in select shots and close-ups." — Virgil Leclercq, cinematographer
