Hey, can I have 25 bucks for Fortnite?!

and I want to remind
you they're giving away a bunch of free prizes
for Halloween including a GoPro Hero 8 that you

I'll give you the details at the end of this video.
So stick around.
So this effect
that you might recognize
from the horror film lights out is actually
pretty easy to achieve what it came down to is
I filmed myself reading a book
with my son in a doorway in the background.
I added a little blue lighting to make it a little spooky
or make sure
that you could see Him in the background.
Now, what I did was I pretended to reach back
and grab a light and hit the switch and right
when I hit that switch.
I had my son leave the doorway and walk away.
So now the room lights were
on I paused and when I knew he was clear,
I quickly turned and looked back at the doorway.
Now the real trick here was I found that spot right
where I reached back and hit the switch
and I stood perfectly still
and I split the Judge right there and then
I scrolled forward to where my son was gone and right
where I started to turn my head
and I split the footage again.
Now this middle section of footage,
I highlighted and I just deleted it
and what that created was an effect where I look
like I reached back hit the switch the lights came on
and I spun and my son was gone.
I did the exact same thing
for when I turned the lights back off.
I found the spot
where I reached back towards the switch,
I stayed perfectly still and I split the footage there.
We turned off the lights.
I had my son take his position again turned on the blue lights
and when he was ready and in position
and I started to move again,
I split the footage one more time
and I deleted the part
where all that switching of lights and getting
in position took place.
The real trick here was trying to stay still
as all of that happened in the background.
So as we switch from the lights being on in the room and off
in the room and Jonas my son.
Taking his position.
I didn't move that much.
So it really seemed convincing
that all of this happened in the flick of a light switch.
Can you see what I did there I really tried to stay still
that's the most important part try not to move in
between those scenes.
So when you click the Switch and you spin around it looks
like he just appeared.
I used sound effects as well as color correction to really
help sell this Halloween horror film spectacular.
