Hi, folks! How are you doing lately?

I’ve been at the seaside finally, and I fueled up my brain a little before coming back to the busy life. Hope you did (at least) the same! Otherwise, the Summer Heat was here right to refresh you!

 

Today I’m here to bring you a very funny videoclip. It’s the video made in 2011 for We’ll See To Your Breakdown by The Chap, from their 2010 album Well Done Europe.

 

I found it extremely entertaining. Why, you ask? Because there’s a fat guy. And fat guys are always funny to watch. Plus, his wide belly was trembling and singing, which adds even more fun (no offense meant to overweight people, of course!).

Let’s now get more specific: Larry Seftel and David Day, the directors, went on a photographic set and took a big still life set. Then, they put a vibrating plate in the middle of it, asked the big guy to get on it, painted a funny muzzle on his belly and… Boom. Here’s the video.

 

For the whole first part everything is shot at normal speed, from different angles. The fat layers of the guy do all the entertaining job while he’s singing in playback and his belly is singing with him.

In the second part they add some slow-motion parts focusing on this bubbly movement, improving it with the use of a powerful air machine that adds spice to the shooting of his face, like a guy free-falling with the parachute, and throwing stuff against him, that is always cool, when done in slo-mo!

 

That’s pretty much it: they shot the whole footage in one day, then adjusted everything visual (color correction, montage) and everything sound-related (synchronization, noise suppression and so) with the usual super-team: Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere and/or Apple Final Cut.

 

A very simple ad effective video, very funny to watch and with a fine tune that comes with it. When you have creativity on your side, you don’t need necessarily much money to create something cool! Well done, Chap!
