and move the camera around the set
was complicated, particularly for shots
that required two cameras to look

cameras or cranes would have put shadows on her, and we needed a rig that

could follow her from both sides and
also turn with her while interfering as
little as possible with the greenscreen,"
Küchler explains. "Having two cameras
opposite each other without interfering
with Shailene's outline was a major
concern. Jim Shelton, our key grip, and
his team helped us solve it by coming in
from the ceiling with a system that was
essentially like a giant ball bearing,
rigged sort of like a long tube, and we
attached the Alexa on the bottom of the
tube, so the camera's footprint was actually very small. It was an incredibly
complex affair."
"It was a suspended, manually
rotating truss-and-bearing rig that
could be moved as Shailene went
through her paces," Shelton says. "The
bearing came from a company that
makes them for big industrial applications. The rest of the mirror work
involved more than 100 camera positions that were set up on a grid designed
by our great visual-effects team, and for
those shots, we simply hid cameras
behind green duck blinds."
Küchler relied heavily on LED
