Hi!
 
This is one of my first postings in this forum, but I just saw a music video and I'm really interested in how this project was realised.

- How did they manage to shoot in the blazing sun but still being overall perfectly exposed? Do you think that there's much grading involved? Maybe a raw hack of a DSLR?
- What lenses / camera / rig do you think was used? The camera seems to be floating like a drone? Or maybe afterwards stabilisation?
- The grain is fantastic! Is this real grain or an overlay? 

 
 
Many thanks in advance, I'm really curious!

Well, nothing is really in shadow so exposure is quite easy. They're all front lit by the sun 90% of the time.
Looks like a a Sony (A7s probably), probably on a glidecam.
It's overlay grain for sure. Unless it was a fs700 through an odyssey at 3200 ISO, in which case I've seen that type of grain created in camera.

Probably steadycam for 80% of the video, then a Crane for the shots from the High and a slider for a couple of footage.

Yes i think a7s or gh4 too, pheraps prores with atomos for better grading possibility

And in the backlight shots I think they used a medium size reflector pointing the faces.

Looks like they used slowmotion too, which gives it even a smoother look.
Probably recording 50/60fps and converted in post to 25/30 fps

start out with a case of beer... get a giant reflector, then pick out a LUT.

This is probably produced by yourself, right? This is a old technique
>if you write "watch my video!!!11!" on title no one will watch it

eerrg.
stop.
