I’ve finished a short film and have one lingering problem: in a mirror shot the child actor briefly meets the lens twice, breaking the fourth wall for roughly a second each time. I want those two glances to be shifted so the moment plays naturally. You’ll receive the entire batch of original camera files plus the current 4 K ProRes locked cut, giving you freedom to re-frame, paint, track, or composite in the tool you prefer—Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, Nuke, Mocha, your choice—so long as the final image is seamless. P.S. The credit will be given as a title in the film as well. Please return: • The corrected shot in the same resolution, codec, and time-code position as the original • A high-quality render (ProRes 422 HQ or DNxHR HQX) • The editable project/comp file with any auxiliary assets Acceptance criteria: both direct glances are completely imperceptible at normal playback speed, color and grain match the surrounding footage, and no warping, cropping artifacts, or soft-focus shifts are introduced. Looking forward to seeing the scene finally land without the unintended wink at the audience.
