Nice job!

Thanks guys! :) There's a small behind the scenes a friend of the band made, but it's in Spanish. I'll see if I can make an English subtitle for it next week if you're interested. You can also check some BTS photos in the band's page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Distant-Project/168119659008?fref=ts

Nice execution! What kind of dolly system did you use?

@GravitateMediaGroup Thanks! And indeed, sometimes the extra stuff is only for show if it gets in the way. There where almost no rack focus shots and most shots where static, so there was no need for a follow focus for instance. On the other hand I didn't have a matte box, which could've come in handy a couple of times. But what I'm trying to say is, why setup a big rig if you don't need it? It woul've probably slowed me down, and we were on a very tight schedule (we shot everything except the shadows over the course of three days -or two half days and one full day-).

@tinyrobot Thank you! The dolly we used was a sort of DIY one (you can see it in several shots in the BTS video). It was actually made by a guy from Buenos Aires, with a lathe I think it's called? And some other tools. With regular iron, steel and some skate wheels. It's not very precise, there are little quirks and problems, specially in the joints which tend to separate, but all in all it worked quite well.

@tinyrobot The shadows are a combination of live footage on a greenscreen (a couple of friends who work in the circus, shaping themselves into one figure together -Dafne in the top, and Lautaro holding her and acting as the legs... the photo will give you an idea), animation and particular, as well as the Echo filter in After Effects and some masks.

Awesome! Good work my friend!

Thanks a lot, guys!

@Riker Thanks, man! I thought the slowmo suited the ending better. Everything happens very quickly and it's like time slows down for these guys once they head on to the fight and for spectators to experience it in a much more stylized way. Think of it as how Saint Seiya uses to four episodes to tell a 3 minute fight. :P I haven't really counted the hours it took me to finish this (I've been thinking of using a program to measure this, but it takes a bit of extra discipline), but it took roughly 3 days of shooting (plus around 3 hours on a 4th day to shoot all the shadows), 2 days to edit and around a month and a half almost completely dedicated to finish post production work (without counting tests I did before and some green screen removing I did before plunging into the completion of the video). And it took me around 3 days to do the storyboard before. And a couple of runs to the locations during pre production of course. And then 2 days to do some art work, I think. So make the count! :P

@charlie_orozco oh man thanks a bunch for the B&A footage..amazing! The song is growing on to me also, the chorus is very good, I like the tone of singers voice, kinda reminds me of those 80's singers like Black or Depeche...

As far as I can tell, you've done the green screen part very nicely...I thought GH2 had problems with green screening due to its 4:2:0 nature...but I don't see nothing wrong with your video. Maybe if I start peeping...but who peeps videos. People should relax sit back and watch the content, analyzing bits and pixels won't benefit them much :)

You did all the post by yourself? I noticed you use "I" :) if so, that's pretty amazing man...

Really enjoyed that. Looks like a fun project, well done Charlie.

increible trabajo Ernesto, sin duda una inspiración para nosotros! vives en USA? de donde eres<?
