Long take - Music videon - Red Epic - 3-axis gimbal + crane

[Pablo Fernandez]

Hello guys. This is my latest music video for the artist Mohombi.
Wanted to do something different and I think I definitely achieve that.
What do you guys think?

Shot on Red Epic.
Using the iStabYou gimbal and the GF-8 camera crane.

Behind the scenes will be out soon.

Excellent looking music video. Should I saw it on TV, I'd think this is Fincher's work of all things. The smooth moves are Panic Room'ish and he's quite fond of digital b/w monochrome look for commercials and music videos lately. Timberlake's Suit & Tie, Calvin Klein's Rooney Mara and GAP's Dress Normal commercials come to mind.

Thank you Vadim. I was paying tribute to Fincher by going thru the coffee pot handle like he did in Panic Room. He's one of my absolute favorite directors.
I'm glad you like it. I will be uploading the behind the scenes soon. Crazy complicated shoot but totally worth it.

Very impressive! Cant wait to see how you pulled off the coffee pot handle push through!

 

[Pablo Fernandez]

Thank you Marcus.
The coffee pot is not included in the behind the scenes but I can tell you right now how I did it.
I tracked the shot with PF Track then modelled and textures the coffee pot in Maya. And finally rendered it using vRay, using an HDRI dome of the location to get the exact same lighting and reflections on it.

Wasn't my intention to lessen your work, obviously. Just similar vibe, I like it a lot.

Ohhh nooo. You didn't lessen my work. if anything it was an ego boost like no other. Who doesn't want to be compared to one of the greatest directors out there.
