    Never thought about placing a lighter under the lens trick. Gonna try that one.

      Great practical effect. It first came to my attention when Scorsese used it for the first person shots in raging bull to show fatigue.

    I barely noticed the aspect ratio changes and I'm impressed.
    Matching the color grading across the different cameras and lenses is quite a feat because it was done seemless and for some reason it felt big budget despite the isolated jungle locations.
    Yes, other directors use aspect ratio changes all the time but sometimes I find it jarring and slightly annoying especially when it skips back and forth relentlessly (Transformers: Last Knight, and M:I Fallout being the biggest offenders).
