Tingsek Music Video Break downShooting the Tingsek music video 'Six years' Feat. Pauline. The video was directed by Patrik Karlson. I shot the video on a Canon XH-A1 with Letus FE using a nice set of primes ( 19mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 60mm 85mm, 135m and 180mm) I really favored the Ziess 85mm it was crispy and if I am not mistaken had a pleasant warmish tint to it.
Because of the weight of the rig I found operating the Glidecam
cumbersome (I snuck in a few flybys ) so I opted for the MultiRig pro and went hand held. Going handheld also allowed for a greater pace. I felt dubious about making this decision, but it gave the shots a more organic feel over the Glidecams 'floaty' feeling. When I needed smoother shots and wasn't concerned with the low angle got the wheelchair out.
The video was shot in an old Swedish (Skåne) farmstead barn. It was DARK. For Lights we used 9 Readheads @ 800w each and two Arri fresnals at around 650w. For extra eyelight I used an onboard camera light thats pumps out 40w in a diffused spot. We couldn't plug all the lights into the mains of the barn, so we had a very noisy (and extremely heavy) gas generator outside supplying us with all the power we needed.
The oasis to struggling with the incredibly dark barn was a shot outside the barn where Tingsek, Pauline and a handful of the musicians have an acoustic 'jam'. It was a pleasant scene to shoot, and though required some tricky Audio rigging was very relaxed.
