When to use it

Magnifying a micro-expression, a drop of sweat, a dial being turned.

The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Extreme close-up of a single eye and its lashes, skin texture and moisture clearly visible, very shallow depth of field. Before a fight, a boxer lowers his head and breathes deeply; his lashes tremble slightly and a bead of sweat runs down from his brow, then his eye snaps open and the pupil contracts. 2 seconds; the eye's structure must not deform, no plastic look.

Common pitfalls

Features drawn in the wrong place, the eye's structure deformed.
Details too clean, like a plastic model.

Parameter tips

One detail per shot; 1 to 2 s, as a long look starts to look fake.
