Music video April 13, 2022

Birthday

Our team shot a rap music video for two musicians. This was the team’s first video filmed for musicians of this genre. A collaboration of performers BRATUBRAT and TRUEten from two countries decided to shoot a video in the city center, since many team members were in the came city at that time, and this also made it possible to reduce the cost of production.

The clip should contain two times: when the main character was young and our time. The video was shot in only three locations, which made it possible to reduce production to one long shift, taking into account overtime. The full cycle from getting the idea into production to releasing the finished video took the team two weeks.

Task

Make a simple rap video for a collaboration from two countries, which will tell about the feelings of a team that at one moment lost a piece of itself, but at the same time supported each other. In this support of each other, another album was born, and we tried to give it a visual.

⬤ 01. Challenge

Promptly shoot a rap music video in se­ve­ral lo­ca­ti­ons for col­la­bo­ra­ti­on of musicians.

Making a rap music video is not difficult if you have experience writing scripts for a similar genre. It is important to understand music, because it always contains the life story of a musician. Listen to the tracks of Husky or Scryptonite, and you will understand that the words were once lived. It doesn’t matter whether Scriptonite wrote about himself or heard this story from someone. It is important that you need to make the rap video, music and words compatible. Moreover, the music with the words was already composed by the musician himself.

When working with several musicians at the same time, a video production company must gain their trust and show that we understand their ideas and can implement them. In this work, there was complete mutual understanding between us, which made it easy to propose our ideas and quickly find approval.

At the beginning of the development stage, the musicians had no idea how to write the script and what they would like to see in the finale. Our creators developed several concepts and with one of them we quickly began filming a music video.

⬤ 02. Production and post

Each rap music video has its own specificity, genre, but has no creative limitations for any budget.

A rap video should look stylish and appeal to the target audience. Often in the videos you can see ridiculous waving of arms, singing near an expensive car and girls. These attributes of the genre quickly become outdated and require enormous effort from the performer and his team. The challenge is to cut out all these genre trappings and come up with something new and interesting. Also, the rap video is so ingrained in people’s heads that they are a priori expecting cars, money and girls.

This clip entered the production stage quite quickly. Immediately after the concept was approved, the script was written, the team chose locations, conducted casting, assembled a team and launched work.

Post-production of the video took only three days thanks to the extended preparation period. It took two days to edit the video, and one day was spent cleanup and color correction.

They decided to make the color correction in this video classic without using till-orange or any special stylization. Due to this, the clip looks like it was shot on a VHS hybrid, but in modern quality. The picture is flat and ugly, but that was the goal.

The clip was shot on a RED Scarlett-W Dragon 5K digital camera, which has a fairly high noise level. They had to be removed, and then to compensate for the artifacts, grain from a dechancer had to be thrown on top.

⬤ 03. Equipment

You can even shoot a creative rap music video with vintage VHS cameras.

The Russian rap music video stands out among its overseas counterparts in that it often depicts poverty, devastation, and corruption. Local color does not imply pretentious wealth, unless it is in the hands of deputies, corrupt officials or clergy. In local folklore, these three groups of people represent negative characters with whom our hero fights. In the end it is not always successful, but it defeats them. This is exactly the kind of clip in the rap genre that the musician’s audience is waiting for, and if you want to order a music video for a rapper, check out the Instagram of our production company YOPRST.
