Doves – Broken Eyes (Colin Read)

by Alessio Rosa Settembre 15, 2020

Nuovo videoclip diretto da Colin Read: questa volta si tratta di Broken Eyes dei Doves. Girato in un’unica stanza senza motion control, il clip vede il protagonista perdere progressivamente il senso della realtà, dello spazio e del tempo dopo aver posto fine alla sua relazione sentimentale.

@dovesofficial “Broken Eyes” A looping concept, needing frame-perfect timing: if we were to do this the “right way,” we’d have used motion control… Of course, we didn’t have the budget for that! So we had to control the dolly speed by hand. To prepare, I broke down each “scene” of the video into its own click track alongside the animated previs, with a countdown from the entrance to the exit. Then on set, we put strike marks down on the floor that corresponded to each countdown, and attached a laser pointer to the dolly that pinpointed the camera’s mark along our timed path. Thus our dolly drip, the amazing Danny Green, could time his speed to exactly match the beats we needed to hit. (After this, Danny’s new nickname is “Motion Control.”) Along with that, any panning and tilting that happened within each scene (which was most of the later scenes) needed to be leveled out exactly back to our starting shot by the time we left the room, so @logan_triplett had to nail it all by hand, with an electronic level taped to the camera as a guide. (Keeping this clip under 30 seconds to avoid the wrath of UMG flagging it.) Swipe right for a sample of the click tracks with reference animatic. Some of the later, more complex scenes had click tracks that were way more complicated and maddening to have to listen to over and over again; more on those later. Sorry to everyone on set who had to listen to these all day…
