I was challenged to do an Extreme Close Up video in my videography class with a partner in my Junior year of High School. We chose a backpack as our object, and filmed everything with one light. Our goal was to make it hard to initially see what our object was using increadably shallow depth of field, but due to the fact we had a prime lens and the lens had a minimum focal length of 2 feet, it was very challenging to get the exact shot we wanted. Although I think the video came out very well.

I took this photo in a mini-lab in my videography class Junior year. Me and my partner were experementing with extreme shutterspeeds and on this one we had 1/500 shutter speed. We were going for a very shallow depth of field to draw focus onto the coins as they move. 

If you look closely at the farthest 2 coins you can see that they change direction, and it looks trippy and really cool. I have heard of the phenomenon in older videos and movies, but I didn't expect to recreate it for myself.
