A study in what a pair of hands can do in a shot. Hands are a big part of a shot I’m planning, and every bit of research into how you can play with the motion helps.

Scanned top to bottom over about two minutes, open lens, two well placed tube lights to get the drama going.

Thanks!

Cabbage covered a bunch of the process below. In this case, I had a neutral grey background and laid on my back, sticking my hands into the view of the camera. And while watching the scan progress on a screen I moved my hands around until I got this.

It’s a fairly cumbersome process, as each scan takes a couple of minutes and any unintended motion gets captured as well. Out of the 40 or so attempts, this one is the cleanest, both with regards to unintended motion, and with the pose coming out the way I wanted it to.

Very cool—it didn't strike me first that all three hands could be yours.
