GANGNAM STYLE - Shot on Epic - (15 million views on youtube)

[Tonaci Tran]

A really viral music video from Korean Rap Artist "Psy".
I had no involvement in the shoot but figured to post here as I saw it was shot on Epic.



Behind the scenes:

Well , all the views SURE aint for cinematography.

Shooting in that many locations with Korean megastars might not have happened if the camerawork wasn't straightforward.

Sometimes cinematography should be nothing more than a window into the idea. Let the audience focus on what's happening inside the box instead of how pretty the box is.

Sometimes cinematography is the least important element, and knowing this makes the project stronger. Could they have shot in 40 locations with 500 extras if the DP was trying to pull off some Deakins level shit? And would that have helped the video?

[BRANDON JAMESON]

T o be clear, I cant imagine ANYTHING helping this video.
NEXT.

I've seen worse. Footage is seriously over-exposed.

I love how nothing seems to make sense in this music video!

[Cail Young]

This is literally my favourite music vid that I've seen in recent memory.

Why?

It's FUN.
