Oi gente 🦋 Excited to share some extracts + behind-the-scenes from our music video for shot in Maputo, Mozambique 🇲🇿
Lay came with a moody, powerful track about light and energy. We decided to shoot almost everything indoors or at night, using hard white beams, flashlights : strong contrasts to match the mood of the song.
Enjoy the ride ⚡️
1. Opening shot for “Dame Luz” by 🌗
2. 🌏 After three days of location scouting in Maputo, we decided to shoot the whole video inside a 1920s sports club. Clube Ferroviário de Lourenço Marques had everything we needed: huge ceilings, beautiful windows, rooftops, a vintage basketball court floor, and a lot of soul.
3. Probably our favorite shot of the whole video. Slide left to see how we built it...
4. 🔦 On the morning of the shoot, the amazing team quickly built a B-set. We used a top light and two flashlights to create moving flashes on Laylizzy’s face. We then quickly color graded the footage, waited for night, and projected it onto a 6x4m thin net hanging in the basketball court.
5. Dolly Sliding easy 🏄🏼♂️
6. Our DOP .mullerdiettert shot this wormhole view by using a vintage S16 zoom lens on a modern camera. The circle around the image is actually the edge of the lens 🔭
7. A lot of the shots were lit using only a super powerful (but very cheap) flashlight. It gave us fast setups and a lot of freedom to improvise (even if Louis hated it, as every DOP should)
8. This wide shot was made by duplicating Laylizzy. He had to sit in every single chair for us to composite the whole scene 👻
9. No rails, no problem. doing the job.
10. Obrigado e tchau 🫡
