New Music Video - Sarah Bettens

Fantastic video. And credit goes to you guys for shooting all that wonderful timelapse footage to coincide with it. How long did it take to go around and grab all the cloud/sunset footage? And who did your animations and how was that accomplished?

I'd love to see some behind the scenes photos or video if you have any.

Anyway, great looking video. Very well done.
 
The clouds took about 8 days of trial and error... not for exposure... just the accidental hellocopter/plane in the frame or clouds just dying out 5 hours into the shoot..... the hardest thing was actually the moon... with only two months to deliver we only had a few full moon/cloudy opertunities.

Flowers were easy.. the yellow lilleys took 6 days for them all to bloom.

The animals were created by Jonathan Parris our FX man on the job. They were done with Apples' Motion... don't ask me how... I just know that's how he did them.. the goal was to have a "made of constuction paper" feel.

The wall is a minature as well as the theater.

I did the stop motion transition from catarpillar to butterfly.

The city was interesting.. Jonathan built a 3d city and all hated it... looked too "out of a box" so the solutions was so take DSLR photos of buildings in downtown Nashville... we glued them to cardboard and made backdrops the was photographed again and he placed those in a 3d environment. That yielded a much more natural and realistic city.

Thanks for watching
 
That was excellent. A job well done. I like the song too, but the craftsmanship of the video and graphic elements was outstanding.

Glad you made it with the HVX!

Best,

Jan
 
Wow... I am so impressed... That is so creative... Please upload an HD Version on Vimeo...
 
Absolutely awesome. Great video and great FX.

I thought that surely you had bought time-lapse footage of flowers, and that the moon shot was a composite. But they're not. Very impressive.
