The films of Evil Dead trilogy were my
favorite horror movies when I was a child. Despite the low budget they were
really scary and were full with crazy cinematic shots, strange angles of views
and fancy tricks. I was really happy when I heard that Ash was back with his
chainsaw. I also liked a lot the poster created for this new Ash vs Evil Dead
TV series:
You know that I’m a big fun of fisheye
effects, so I decided to pay respect to the Evil Dead series and I took my own
version of the poster. These are my pictures in portrait and landscape format:
The show the branches of the trees in an
almost circular format the camera was placed almost on the ground on a joby
tripod. My new camera is a sony A6000 that has a cool function. It can be
remotely controlled by a smartphone, so it was possible to have a full control
on the picture even when the LCR/EVF was almost touching the ground. The only
problem was that the battery depleted in my smartphone during the photo shooting,
so the rest was just try and error approach. I had two sets of charged batteries
for my camera and the flash, but I haven’t checked my phone. It’s still not yet
part of the checking list. There is no extra light on the original poster, but
I decided to hold not just a camera (my old nex-5) but also a flashgun. Ash is
holding a chainsaw and boomstick in (on) his hands. I used self-timer (10
seconds) and radio triggering for my flash (simple yongnuo flash).
After resizing and cropping I’ve just
increased the contrast and altered a bit the colors to get the final image.
