This effect was created using a hd camera with a high shutter speed and four 2000w film lights. The shutter speed was so high that the camera was filming pitch black without the lights, i actually filmed this on a sunny day at 3 o'clock. These effects were created in final cut pro by changing the contrast and slowing down the clip to a third of the motion, and reversing the clip. The posterized effect was created in final cut and is my favorite as it seems most suitable for our music video.
Here are the steps i took to achieve this.
- Raised the shutter speed on camcorder to its maximum
- Raised the Iris to allow more natural light to be captured
- Plugged in film lights and adjusted the white balance to suit the focal point of the shot
- Filmed myself dispersing talcum powder in different ways
- Rendered the video in final cut
- Slowed the motion of each clip down to 35%
- Reversed each clip
- Added various effects and upped the contrast on every clip so the talcum powder really stood out
- Kept on playing with effects until i was happy with the look of each clip
- Rendered the project and uploaded to youtube
