JoeJ 0 #1 July 11, 2011 Last month, the band, Kid Savant traveled from NY to Eloy AZ to make a skydiving music video with a flying piano, lamps, bikes, roses, chairs, and an exploding canopy. Greg Gasson and I coordinated and launched all the stuff. The lead singer went through AFF and did his own jumps. Very cool. The video just came out. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/kidsavantmusic Link to their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/kidsavant Enjoy!!

gasson 0 #13 July 13, 2011 For those who are curious we used an ARRI 235, Phantom, Red, ARRI IIC and a hand crank ARRI IIC to get the look and feel the band wanted. We pulled in Chris Burket to direct for the ground shots. The stop motion shots of the objects was done by taking 100 still shots over a several hour period while the objects were moved inches at a time. For ground shots of the band and lead singer we shot at 12 frames per second while the song was played at half speed. In editing the sequence uses 24 fps so it gives a cool look to their movement since they are moving fast but everything is in synch with the song. Joe Jennings used the Phantom camera to capture the super slow motion shots. It was filmed at 1000 fps at 720P. The shot of Ty in the recliner with a bathrobe and beer in hand is comical. His shot of the confetti being released is stunning. The most fun for me was filming the piano. The exit was a bit scary as the 2X6 boards used to roll it out of the Skyvan caught the relative wind and flew right past us. The first third of the dive it was surreal watching the piano tumble. Then it started to fall very slow so I got on my back underneath the piano and filmed up at it while it was falling. The visual of looking up at a piano dancing in the sun as it hurtled to the ground will be forever etched in my brain. The lead singer Ryan Weisberger learned how to skydive for the shoot. For the close up shots of him I used an Ultra Prime 8R lens which is a super wide angle lens that does not have the typical fisheye look of many super wide lenses. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as we had fun working on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZxFCU2hEbA&feature=channel_video_title Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Greg. The visuals (especially the confetti) are absolutely amazing. But when I see you and Joe on the camera credits, for some silly reason, I fully expect to be wowwed.
