The Maccabees (in the dark) – Live performance recording with 10 Kinects

Author @FilipCategory Members openFrameworks People , , Posted on:

Two weeks ago we were invited to be at the filming of the new video of the The Maccabees, presented by Vevo for the Magners ‘Made in the Dark’ campaign. Unfortunately we could not make it but earlier today, James Aliban posted details of the result. Project is the brainchild of Directors Jamie Roberts and Will Hanke, and the performance contained a combination of live action footage (shot with an Alexa on a technocrane) and an animated sequence by Jamie Child and James Ballard. The scene was all shot in 3D, with a rig that contained 10 Kinect cameras, each attached to a Macbook Pro. The technical consultant on the project was James Aliban.
