Smashing Plates Shoot: Review

This was a really fun setup to shoot, despite the difficulties we had during our research in terms of safety.

One of us stood on a chair whilst the other filmed with the camera. Then, when everything was in place, the plate with the powder paint was dropped from a height and fell to the floor where it - on most occasions - smashed. Sometimes it landed too flat which meant the energy was absorbed by the plate so it didn't break.

The shots looked really cool, as there was so much movement in the explosion of china and paint; I think it will work really well with the rest of our footage as it gives that extra 'oomph'.
