How was this effect accomplished?

In this Beyonce video there is a interesting speed ramp effect near the end. The thing that confuses me is her lips are always in time with the music. My guess is they slowed down the music during production so she was singing and dancing slower and then in post speed it up to add that visual effect?

Yep you got it.

Thanks Brody!

Yep, and it takes a lot of time, planning, and rehearsals to pull that off. It's wacky to hear on set, but it can work.

Do you have any helpful tips?
I am going to try some tests tomorrow. I am going to slow the track down in varying increments 20%, 40%, 60% etc. And film it at 24p and/or 30p then speed it all up in post to the proper BPM. and see how it turns out.
