Philips Carousel - Making Of Philips Carousel

[Logomic]

that's awesome, they have a shaky dolly camera, and a program that deletes all the shake. 3:41

[KZKpro]

Ахуенно!!!!!!!!!!

[BeautyOfVisual]

i think the main trick on doing videos like this is to film the scene as fast as possible with the highest framerate as you can and slow it down in postproduction to normal speed. Everithing is in slowmotion then and you cant see the actors moving...

[matwocents]

i still don't see how it was done, but it does remind me of the technique used in the matrix movie (opening scene with trinity).

[aspawnofhell]

@matwocents matrix scene was shot with so many cameras were put around trinity and each camera set to take one shot while moving around her to give you the 360 degree effect,but in this add,the whole scene was shot with one camera,you can see at 1:58 to 2:00 the dude is posing and waiting for the camera to come by,it was only 1 shot,no cuts,and ppl actually stood there like statues waited for the camera to cross by :)

[matwocents]

@aspawnofhell yea, i remember watching DVD extras for how that opening scene was made. thanks for the info on this clip. i do notice some slight movement now that you mention it. very cool.

[aspawnofhell]

@matwocents You are very welcome =)

[drealgeorge]

@matwocents in matrix the subjects were moving but in slow motion.. while in this scene, every subject are on still.

[ja0129]

big big BIG fan of this video

[killbot0011101000101]

Never mind, there's an actual making-of video linked to this one. It turns out they just filmed actors standing really really still.

[CelineVision]

@killbot0011101000101 and u took ur time to come back to this video and post ur nonsense?....

I was willing to view the making of to see ur point... the only point i saw was u didnt make any....

[killbot0011101000101]

Hilarious. Anyone know how they actually made it?

[runescapefunnyvid]

umm..  what software in 3:55 ?

[hogwashsentinel]

@runescapefunnyvid Autodesk Flame, I think.

[hogwashsentinel]

@runescapefunnyvid my bad, according to fxguidetv which did an episode on the video, the software is a fake interface they made in AE - no such program exists. They created it to mess with our heads and give a false sense of how simple the effects were.

[runescapefunnyvid]

@hogwashsentinel rofl ... i hope so xD

[11tyleragent11]

what does he mean when he says 21.9? is that an aspect ratio?

[cyberlarry7]

If the people who criticize this magical video could have done it better - or even made a LESSER video - you would have. But you didn't. Which shows you're all worthless hot air, and director Adam Berg is the Real Thing. Interesting, how the 'slackers' and do-nothings are the nitpickers. The ones here who are criticizing are the ones with no achievement in their lives.

Worst "Making Of" Video Ever

[mursaat]

The idea is really cool, but that cop-clown-cop can fit in 16:9 with some content up and down.

Of course, I'd love for this standard to become popular, but honestly I don't see it happening.

Too late, or too many 16:9 monitors and TVs sold. Maybe in 10 years...

BTW what a joke of a Making of

[reykaza]

soy un gran admirador y quisiera aprender el programa de efectos con la cual fue editada el proyecto. Tambien soy un comunicador y trabajo en video en un canal de television en PERU, exitos gracias =)

[ryanlaing]

ugh. those first two pauses / directors make me cringe. aside from being terribly scripted for the commercial, they just make the filmmakers look like dicks.

[juicym19]

He should make a war scene one :DDD

[Kitsuna020]

"Hold that for 5 hours" LOL I'd never be able to do that ._.

[megamix1029]

I love the video, but this "making of" is a piece of crap. It's scripted and they don't say anything about how they made everything look frozen in time. The only thing I've pulled from this is that explosions require lots of light (duh) and that the video is only worth watching in the cinema, that is unless you wanna buy the new phillips whatever.

[ribenawrath]

@megamix1029 the actors are literally just standing still. IT's a computer controlled rig, so they can do a few passes and add green screens in where they need them and get away with it. Some of the suspended actors are on wires. It's actually relatively simple.

[EGRJ]

@megamix1029 It's a joke. The whole thing is basically an elaborate joke.

[romlebear]

Multinational corporations!

Selling idiots illusions so they don't start to think since... ... ...

[phoenixace09]

hahah what dumbasses stop tryin to spot every little single detail of how its done and just enjoy the video.

[jo58896]

4:08  <<< fat joe

[djkbson]

did 50 cent use this and add his own bit when he is at the back hiding or did they copy him and cut him out?

[SemperFidelius34]

at 4:20 notice there is a cop jumping out of thw window, how did they do that?

[pyro6a]

wires (digitally erased in postproduction)

[chevy4oh2]

OMG It's so easy. You can see this! You can see that! I really dont see why you people waste your time posting comments about how unimpressed you are. Here's a fantastic idea... MAKE ONE THAT'S EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE! Don't ruin one's effort and accomplishement because you lack imagination, innovation or even the simple ability to turn your gigantic "I know it all" brains off and enjoy something for once.

[Ninj44]

The whole thing was shot 50fps, so you don't see the actors move so much. I think there's three or four different shots in this thing, merged together. And yes, the bills and persons that are hanging in mid-air are practical, hanging from wires and stuff. The bullets and glass debris in the nurses' station is rendered in 3ds max o.O

[evans13]

What kind of program did they use ?

[KingJaycob]

haha xD ok can you hold this for 5 hours ? :D:D:D

[leandrobrou]

Já não bastava o próprio comercial em si mas daí vem a explicação. Só pra humilhar mesmo! hahah

[viggocorleone]

this is on 50 cent Ok You're Right video

[3k77or]

cuales programas usaron para la postproduccion?

[OldSchoolCS]

What kind of program did they use ? :D Holy shit

[PrototypeMK1]

The dollor bill above the cop at 4:40- 4:42 is very transperent. :)

[mikeysa]

to be honest, It does give you enough info to figure out the making of for yourself

[Grafbanaan]

Yes without watching the making of i thought that they robbed a bank drove into a hospital Bcaus u see the cars jammed into it. Took a defending position there and one dude took the clothes of an officer and jumped out.

[mikeysa]

They give you enough info to figure out the making of. Everyone knows the story, I was talking about the way they did it

Actors on wires and a load of CGI

A 3D motion tracker combined with a composition program

I got my hands on a 3D motion tracker the other day. I ran my own test to copy the effect this video had. It's a lot easier than it looks

[ImpheOtus]

That's not a making of and those aren't actors "standing very still" but just dolls placed in there.

Look closer, when directors come into scene, there's somebody walking from side to side of the screen, that's when they change fake humans with real actors.

[theschnitter]

look at the making of this are all actors who was standing still.. the one in the air and the cop who where kicked thru the window are hanging in wires..

[scookuk]

this is awesome work. and i'd up myself if I was the DOP or Director too, nothing wrong with being proud of your work.

[jamuelenriquez]

a good fake

[smileandwave1987]

yup.

now it makes perfects sense.

rails and cranes.

actors staying very still for a long time. plus vfx.

niiiice

[cavosk002]

this is definitely NOT making of video

[feckingbillgates]

True that it's not a very fleshed-out making of, but it says enough I think, by giving away how it was done. It at least reveals it wasn't done with loads of cameras rigged up like in the Matrix, moving around the same moment in time - this is just rails and cranes and actors standing still, plus extensive computer effects to complete the illusion. A bit of a disappointment really, though.

[rorkimaru]

Yeah, To be honest I figured the whole scene had been shot in layers in front of a green screen and then each of the characters lined up and overlayed on the video of the camera moving through the scene

[Roopa132]

/watch?v=teoSDTJDjF4 there you go

[dsmovie]

amazing work!!!!!!!

[FelixCulpa81]

oh no - what a shame, they ruined it because they could not resist parading in front of the camera.

[wyxvt]

WTF is that? Making of it isn't. More like a bunch of pretentious pricks bragging.

[davipaschoal]

they did it in movie maker =P

lolz

[mster514]

Keep the craftsMEN out of the picture. that's why they're supposed to be behind the camera. It's embarrassing!

[Zaisorian]

that did not deserve the naimng "Making of"

bunch of geeks talking about random stuff. :(((

Anyway i hope those geeks make more movies like that.

[Otterrat]

I did some research on this myself. it's all real people. as others have said, it's a combination of motion rigs, done in particular sections with "gates" to break up the paticular sections, a crapload of CGI, and way, WAY too much post-production. seriously. WAY too much.

only thing that would have made this better is if it were done in 3d. :P

[jiggymoon]

Flame, Max, Blender, FlumeFX, AfterFX, Milo Motion Control, Technocrane, Panther, Dolly, Real People and yes, hours of Post. redrum.

[RodyPolis]

wow this isn't a making of. It's pointless

[eusouchispirito]

Ronaldo...

[hiramh]

Well, I didn't learn jack shit about how this was made, but thanks anyway

[djr4evryone]

hahahaha, my thoughts exactly!

[zaubertom]

Wow, Thats just awesome oO

[jackofclubz]

good video but the tv is dumb

[Bunnytoes666]

Screw the show...I want one of these awesome Clown masks to do my own freaky shit with!!!

[tolikabu]

OK, hold that for 5 hours!

[Stovebold6]

It was done with several motion controll rigs and the seqences bolted together in editing. They have several "bridges" like the door frame or the window sill to cut from scene to scene.

Most props (guns, dollars etc.) where real, the explosions, glas and bullets where CGI.

[utgfilms]

what program did they use to do the effects?

[billytown5]

probably after effects

[skateboardkid]

at 2:03 the cop holding the gun on left moves slightly - what else??

[davidskeleton]

this appears at 2:03 to be the cop on the right. are you blind, or don't know your right from your left?

...or just being a jackass?

[Elitaper]

Um, both of them move.

[EloquensRobot]

i guess this video is made with maya, or 3dsmax with 1.000.000.000.000 hours rendering and alot of post production.

Would be interesing to see a real making of

[SERSHANT]

EloquensRobot, lol, no

[xtdremzny]

lol yeah

[JmChadillonProduct]

@EloquensRobot they are clearly using flame or inferno at 3:51. This video was done with a motion controlled camera that can be used to replicate exact camera movements. The only 3D looks to be minor effects such as the glass breaking, the fire, money floating in Z space.

[CKronos90]

@JmChadillonProduct What is the program?

Thanks

[JmChadillonProduct]

@CKronos90 its flame according to "samcharlton". You wont be getting flame either unless you have a spare 50k sitting around.

[data9k]

@JmChadillonProduct what program they used at 3:34?

[samcharlton]

@EloquensRobot It's made using flame software from autodesk. I got to see it on their system!

[chrisbellx]

yeah this feels a little bit tongue in cheek. i like philips style on this one.

[ChingBak401]

coool

[prest0x]

Well, that seemed like one, big advertisement for Philips. Is there a real making-of video?

[koolagoo]

Great, but still unclear how it is all done!

[nidodson]

I think they used more manikins and stuff than they are letting on.

[theclockstickin]

true

[elvisnoestavivo]

genial!!!
