PRODUCTION: Sparkler inspiration and outcome

While researching for our music video, Charon and Poppy got an idea to use sparklers in our music video a few days before we began recording. Below is an image representing the idea Poppy and Charon wanted to implement into the music video. This involved using a sparkler to spell out words through the movements of the sparkle. Although we are not equipped to produce a final shot like the one below, we just wanted to try the idea, see what can be done with it on camera and how it'll look.


Although initially it wasn't part of the original plans, we did implement this idea into our music video. It didn't however look as good as we had hoped when we had used it as the lighting and camera angles we used didn't bring out the best of what we could have done with it. We did record a few shots with Poppy using the sparkler, however, as an audience it is difficult to see what Poppy was spelling out when we reviewed the clips. The light emitted from the sparkle though did give us an opportunity to get a close up shot of Poppy with only the sparkler and her head in shot.
