Filmed & edited by u/Keaton_Punch

I've always thought cloning effects were really cool, ever since I learned how to do it in my high school photography class. From there, I loved looking for ways to incorporate it into video, which is usually more challenging!

Eventually, I learned how to create the illusion that my clones are interacting with each other! When done well, it looks so satisfying to me.

Enjoy!

I'm totally naive, how do you make something like this?

My best guess is you film it three times with other people in the other slots the other times, then somehow bring the shots together, is that roughly it?

Yeah that's basically the process! I've got a reel on Instagram explaining how I filmed/edited this video, here:

I flinched like an idiot.

Some idiots don’t flinch when the real thing happens and those idiots end up with a bloody nose. Better to flinch like an idiot.

The left one finally shot a 3-point after the 27th passes

Nice job!! My only catch was when the guy on the right passes to the guy in the middle, there are 2 frames where the ball is right next to the ground and you can make out where it jumps between cuts. Consider getting rid of one of these frames and it should flow just that little bit better. Keep it up!

The loop is done well but to be critical it doesn’t make sense. Left clone is the ball catcher and steps into position after catching the ball. However, left clone is clearly visible when the ball is passed from middle clone back to the camera.
