Sisiraptor & Snowdrop
I was watching the frost spread across the pond and thinking how you might set up the right mood for that scene. Do you have tricks for turning a quiet winter moment into something more cinematic?
Sure, just set the lights to mimic the moon on the ice, slow the camera in a low angle, drop a subtle soundtrack that’s almost there but not over the top. Add a little mist and a single reflective surface, maybe a lone lantern, and you’ve got a quiet winter scene that feels like a frame from a film instead of a postcard.
That sounds pretty perfect—just like a carefully carved icicle. You’ll get that crisp, almost untouched feel when you layer the mist and that lone lantern. Do you prefer the light coming from the left or right? It can change how the frost glints on the water.
