The attempted murder of a mafia member from the TV movie "GETTING GOTTI."

Special effects in TV movies are often described by producers as having "high production value," meaning that a significant portion of the budget is allocated to these stunts, making them essential for still photographers to capture.

In my experience, however, where TV special effects are concerned a high budget doesn’t always translate to images with exceptional advertising value or interest.

This image deviates from that norm. Unlike many of those so-called "high production value" TV special effects that focus solely on explosions or visual spectacles, this one stands out because it features a person front and center, adding a layer of dramatic impact to the scene.
