Dam good question.

what in particular?
Jay Gladwell wrote on 1/15/2011, 3:36 PM

You need to be more specific. How did they do what? Shoot the music video?

No offence intended here, but isn't pretty obvious what he's asking:-) ?

OK, I must be dense because I don't understand what he's asking either.

If it were obvious, we wouldn't have asked for clarification.

Why don't you enlighten us.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they used lights, a video camera, some microphones and an audio/video recorder of some sort.

Well I'm usually not very good at speaking for others, but I think he's asking how they manage to walk through multiple scenes where everyone is frozen, like in a still picture. Anyway, that's what struck me as particularly interesting about the video. Enlightened now? I'm not very good at enlightening people...:-(

Okay, we must be seeing a different video, because the one I see is pretty straightforward, no effx.

When I click on the link it takes me to a video with an effect that I've never seen done before, at least not in this way. It's pretty cool, and short of black magic or voodoo I can't imagine how it's done.

All I find at the link is a music video - not bad, but nothing special.

I'm just seeing a behind the scenes music video with Pink in it - pretty standard stuff.

Now I see what a couple of people are so excited about -- Herbie's playing a Rhodes Eighty-Eight, maybe the same one had for Headhunters.

Other than that, it's a generic music vid with good music and no effects. Probably done in two or three takes using three cams.

This is where that link redirects -- are some of you seeing something else?

I think liquid has it right. I, too, have often wondered how.

How do they walk through all those frozen people?

I think I saw a similar scene in one of the CSI shows, Miami, I think.

Liquid,
Could you copy and paste the link you are getting. I think people are getting different videos. The one I see is Pink with John Legend recording a music video. No special effx.

Yep -- I think we're seeing different videos. When I click on the link I see a music video with Pink and John Legend and Herbie Hancock(?) (I'm guessing, based on Musicvid's response). Filmed in a recording studio, nobody frozen in time.

I don't think people are being sarcastic when they ask "how did they do what?". The video we are seeing is like a very straightforward recording studio documentary. No FX, nobody frozen...

(I let it play to the end, then it switched to a Miley Cyrus concert video...)

The link I get is the same as was originally posted

There is a related video by "Three Days Grace" called "Break" with some interesting effx. Is that the video the OP is talking about?

so, found davet2's video:

ah, maybe that's why there's nothing to comment about also......

Okay,

Somebody who is seeing the video that the OP refers to, while you are watching it, copy the link in your browser and paste it here. Maybe this is a keyboard language thing.

OK .. it may be a country thing.

I see the same video that musicvid's link points to. It's also one that the original link redirects to - L8R is also in Canada,as am I.

The title of the video is T-Pain Featuring Rick Ross: 'Rap Song'.

Going off the title Tom posted perhaps try this one.



It looks like a bullet time effect to me. Perhaps coupled with some 3D set's or effects like liquid fire and smoke added in post. While I know this is not telling of exactly "how" it was done but I think this is a starting point.

intel i-4790k / Asus Z97 Pro / 32GB Crucial RAM / Nvidia GTX 560Ti / 500GB Samsung SSD / 256 GB Samsung SSD / 2-WDC 4TB Black HDD's / 2-WDC 1TB HDD's / 2-HP 23" Monitors / Various MIDI gear, controllers and audio interfaces

Searching for the title that Tom mentions above I found this link:

EDIT:It looks like DrLumen bet me to it :)

Sorry guys, I assumed that when the video said "copy link to this video".
It would copy the link to this video.....

The above video links are correct. Here it is on youtube as well.


I think this is an amazing video, simple but so cool. I would understand it if it was shot in one room, matrix style, but to meander through a club from outside to inside.

I'm lost as to how they would do this.

actually with closer inspection at the end... I believe everyone is just pretend frozen.
You can see a couple people moving slightly near the end.
Then the smoke and money mid are etc is cgi.
You can see the camera ops shadow at one point when panning by the one wall as well.
