General Elektriks 'Different Blue' by Arno Salters
David Knight - 27th Nov 2017
Arno Salters' fifth video for General Elektriks - the musical project led by his brother Hervé Salters - makes the most of Hervé and his band's totally wired energy by multiplying it numerous times, through the magic of motion control.
Created in a huge warehouse-like space in Berlin, Arno worked with UKMVA-nominated cinematographer Cezary Zacharewicz and motion control operator Heiko Matting of Berlin-based Mastermoves to shoot the video, with Paris VFX studio Mathematic providing the Flame, Nuke and grading work that stitched the different takes together.
The result is a mesmerizing, brilliantly visual tour de force. It's buzzing. Here's the making of.
