I go numb

When you are shooting a music video for a famous band, you have to try to make a good product for both the band and their fans. You need to understand their target audience and try to make a creative video that suits their style. For the current clip, according to the script, we film some scenes at home, and some at a concert.

For some of the home scenes, filming was simple. Difficulties began when filming moved to location. One of the difficult tasks was to correctly display the graphics on the screen, and the second was filming under the sprinklers from the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The rock band’s music video was large-scale by the standards of show business in Belarus. During the filming there was 80 kW of light, two fire sprinklers that simulated rain. Also, thanks to the group members, it was possible to assemble a crowd that imitated the concert. The clip was filmed simultaneously on several cameras, and in some frames the operator can be seen. When fire trucks started spraying water on the stage, water still got under the cover. However, filming was completed successfully.

When we started filming the concert scene, we only had one shot at this, since the extras’ clothes had to be dry at first, and wet after watering. Adding to the trouble was the cold weather and the scene had to be filmed quickly.

The water was turned on simultaneously from two watering machines, and then the shooting was carried out continuously. We then shot some interesting footage with a copter, which we used at the end of the clip.
