scene 3
SERIES: CLOSE UPS
in rapid succession, we see jaxon in a series of close-ups --
for every shot, the light is starkly different. Different hues illuminate the dirty windows of the car and juxtapose against light hitting Jaxon's face.

IDEA: TRANSITIONS
Using skaterscope system, we can capture unique timelapse perspectives that can be used for transitions throughout the video. This can be with the car and/or with our other sets.
IDEA: STEP PRINTING
Throughout the shoot, we can capture moments with the "step print" effect to use as textures and transitions in the edit.
