About this project

Skindred asked us directly to help them with their next video for “Sound the Siren” release.

We created a huge 8 meter (26 feet) bullet time rig, with 96 cameras, 8 computers, and a work desk 10 meters away to be out of shot. We controlled the entire rig from the desk, all camera settings, movie creations, video previews… everything. We then created a 14 camera handheld rig, which was all filming, allowing an effect called numerous things – 3D stereoscopic wiggle, lenticular, 3D stereoscope to name a few. What it does is allow in editing later on, to move around the array from camera to camera, allowing the movement to be quite fast and erratic.

This video is the behind the scenes of the entire project, showing also our rig and the setup.

Client: Skindred

Category: Music Video

How many cameras

We used 96 Cameras with our 8 meter frame for this, along with 10 computers and custom wiring systems.

Software Systems

The movies were stitched together on site in a few seconds to give the director and production staff examples of what we had taken. Over the next few days we fine aligned the output by hand to give a precise aligned bit of footage. Ironically, the editing team added glitches in to give it a more urban feel ha!

Location

We shot this in Dean Valley Studios at West Wycombe, UK

What did we create?

We created 58 movies, all of which aligned to production quality level and passed to the client in 4K ProRes. And then created live bullet time recording, aligned those videos and then passed the video to the client to use as needed.
