Samantha Smith (Mama Mary Winchester)

[feliciakw]

I think I've figured out one of the things they did to make Mary look not her glowy, mom-like self. Watch the scene with her and Sam. I think they arched one of Samantha Smith's eyebrows to give her a slightly . . . sinister . . . look. It seems they shoot her at a slight angle through much of the scene (also giving the impression of the off-ness of the visitation), and it's a little hard to tell, but when her face is relaxed, it looks like her right eyebrow has an arch to it. Interesting . . .

whitemartyr, yes, they shot DT-Dean with a strange lens. I'm never sure what kind of lens they use to get different effects, but I'm tempted to say it's a wide angle lens. I could be wrong, though. I'll have to check with Geo.

In other news, Young!Sam with yellow eyes is still creepy and disturbing and not right

I liked the lenses they used for that scene -- Dean was definitely very close and distorted.

I kept thinking Mama Mary looked different somehow -- I just couldn't figure out what it was -- first I thought they actually got another actress, then I said, nah, they wouldn't do that. (I never knew the actress's name -- have I said how "observant" I am!! Now ask me about JA's beautiful face and if we saw skin... still waiting for a picspam on that brief skin shot in JtS!)

Thank you

Wow, more about the lenses then? With pics as examples? I'd like to compare 'normal' lenses with wide ones. i mean i think i see the difference but i'm not sure and would like the confirmation from profi *hints*

When I first saw Mary I thought "Samantha's had some work done." I never thought it was a makeup thing. Interesting.

The distorted faces in the boys confrontation scene annoyed me at first, but I get what they were trying to do.
