It is a music video for Flatbush Zombies

Background

Revisit the idea of classical hardcore hip hop music video

Describe the creative idea

An X-Ray version of a hardcore hip-hop video. From the first shot, of a gang carrying the coffin of a friend, to the last, everything is seen through the prism of X-Ray photography... or so you will believe. This is a situation of an essentially straightforward idea that lives or dies by dint of the execution - and the execution is completely flawless. So while your mind will tell you that this just cannot be done - X-ray machines are not safe to use on a film set or location - your eye tells you otherwise.

Describe the strategy

Visual Impact

Describe the execution

Today, there is no technology that X-ray films a living being without endangering it, so we worked hand in hand with a post-production company to develop a technical device that would allow us to achieve a similar effect. We used multi-camera tracking, recorded the positions and movements of our characters to extract and apply to our 3D compositions. It took four months of work to find the perfect style.

The initial footage of the band and cast was shot on heat vision camera before lockdown began.
