Alesana music video - Shot on RED

[Sing Howe Yam]

Just got done shooting a music video for the band Alesana. We shot in Raleigh, NC. The concept was the band plays as a terrible basketball team playing a really good team. They get their ass kicked and then the teams scape goat comes out and scores a dunk on the last second. It is intercut with the bands performance section that we made look like a hafltime show.

 

 

Actual pull from footage after one pass through RED cine.

 

Shot at 320, 3k @ 2:1 for slow motio, shot stuff at 48fps.

I'm loving the flares you have in the grabs. Any information on your lighting?

The flares are from 1K par cans with narrow bulbs. We had 6 of them set up behind the band and we had 20ft. of track that we tracked back and fourth on, it allowed us to have multiple flares throughout the move. The key light was a 1.2HMI and then we had a source 4 leko w/ 19 degree barrel as a spot light swinging through the frame to mimic a halftime'esque spotlight.
