Carousel, promotional film of the new Philips TV 21:9

Philips recently announced its new 21:9 aspect ratio TV and cinematic proportions, ultimately spectacular. And he did it with a performance no less spectacular. l, un spot promocional, expresamente creado para la web que destaca por su complejidad visual, cuajada de efectos y recursos de postproducción, con los que se logró un plano secuencia de 2:19 minutos que hace un loop infinito sobre sí mismo. In e l microsite dedicated to the promotion of these giants can find the movie Carouse l, a promotional spot, created expressly for the site that stands out for its visual complexity, curd and resources post-production effects, was achieved with a sequence shot 2:19 minutes of making an infinite loop on itself.

Not only is a sequence shot, but also recreates an action scene "frozen" in time. Before reading the article, the ideal is to see the spot: Carousel .

From the point of view of the post is interesting to analyze the various techniques used. The director Adam Berg, gives a good account of it in an interesting interview with fxguidetv .

l, otros con technocranes o grúas robotizadas y otros con dollies. The film is shot in seven parts, three of them with camera motion contro l, others technocranes or robotic cranes and dollies others.

participantes para mantenerse i nmóviles durante la diversas tomas. The effect of frozen time is achieved, first, thanks to the ability of participants to keep 60 players i nmóviles during the various shots. On the other hand the various CG elements in post ñadidos such as explosions, floating notes, the flares of arms and broken glass, will also help that feeling.

The work of tracking was instrumental in adding 3D elements, as well as to recreate the perspective of the ground, because it was necessary to clear the entire route of the traveling routes of the cameras that are around the time of filming.

, que no eran pocos precisamente, pues para mantener a los actores inmóviles y otros objetos flotando, fue necesario montar una compleja estructura de cableado. A good job of rotoscoping and paint tools or redrawn, it was also necessary to remove each cable and undesirable element of the scenes (wire removal), which were few precisely as to keep the actors and other objects floating motionless, it was necessary assemble a complex structure of wiring.

All the filming was done at 50 fps and then be slowed down, because this way the actors did not have much time to be still. Moreover cameras with robotic movements had a dual role, first ensure that no change of speed and perspectives among any of the seven shots that are strung with Microfund. For another, the motion control was used to shoot several times the same plane and thus achieve different "plates" or layers of image, without the presence of accessories such as cables which supported the actors, in this way is much easier deletion of these elements.

In cases where no motion control was used between shots, such as the transition in which the camera goes into a hallway through a door, used resources to address the shortcomings of tracking who did not complete the work. In this case used a volumetric explosion that conveniently cover the entrance to the hall. For post-production software was used Flame and Maya 3D was CRADA with.

The spot has been built entirely by European companies. It was filmed in Prague and produced by London-based company Stink Digital and publcidad agency Tribal DDB Amsterdam . The 3D effects of explosions and flares were carried out by the Swedish company Magoo Studios 3D post-production while qe was done in the Swedish company also Redrum Postproduction .
