A Whole Music Video Shot In Just 5 Seconds

By placing 80 people along an 80 meters stretch, French filmmaker Guillaume Panariello managed to capture a whole music video in just 5 seconds. Siska's “Unconditional Rebel” was shot on a 1000 frames per second Phantom Flex 4K from a car traveling at 50kmh (or 31 mph). All that action and it only took 4 takes to get it right. Be sure to check out the below video to see what this shoot looks like in real time. 

 

 

This is a real video performance, a slow motion video, a sequence map with a traveling in front of 80 extras placed on 80 meters along a little road, lost in an industrial area. Filmed at 1000 frames/second with a Phantom flex 4k from a car driven at 50km/h, the shooting took 5 seconds for a 3'30 video: a living and dreamlike mural.-

I can't see the real time video?

wow that's brilliant. Really cuts down on set time lol

Superb. ..

Fantastic. Can't think of any other word to describe it.

Nice to see something fairly original for once in a music video!

Director André Chocron has done this for the music video "Havoc" a couple of years back. 3,5 minutes in 18 seconds.
