Production - Projection Testing and Base Track

Today we officially began the production of our music video! Below you can see one of the base tracks we filmed testing our idea, which was inspired by the chorus in Alex Winston's video for Velvet Elvis. We did this by having Poppy lip-sync to a half speed version of our track. In editing we then sped the video up by double, so that Poppy's lip-syncing is in sync but her body movements are faster. We plan to use this technique again when we film in Abney Park.



For the projection, we took inspiration from Imogen Heap's Lifeline (as mentioned previously in this blog post). In the video, Heap is painted white, with her body and face acting as a canvas for images that were projected onto her. We attempted to recreate this but we didn't have enough face paint, so we compromised and Poppy applied most of it around her eyes, which we still thought looked great. Below you can see some behind the scenes photos and footage taken by Nick during the filming process.
