how u capture the slow motion with the Red? if u could share....
Karel Bata 1 year ago

If you lower the resolution you can increase the frame rate. Basically there's a ceiling on the data rate that can be recorded, so as res goes up max frame rate goes down.

John-Erling Holmenes Fredriksen 3 years ago

Really cool stuff. The part with the chicken flying through the air kind of reminded me of a certain Vitalic-video, but the rest was totally original and really cool. Inspired maybe? So very well suited to the song.

Down load it people at nofatclips.com and dig it all over again. I did... it really shows off the work.

I love this video and your collective work on it from talent to crew.

B 9 3 years ago

Wow... I loved it. You guys are lucky to have the nameless chicken-girl as a friend --- if you win the Thunderheist contest, it'll be due to her. I hope we can look forward to seeing her in more videos in the future. (With or without chickens.)

Brilliant great, awesome, great aesthetic, fantastic, great concept...
I see nothing of that, I am only seeing ANIMAL TORTURE.
I am sorry thatgo, I don't like it
B 9 3 years ago

They had a chicken wrangler on the set to make sure the rooster wasn't harmed. Check out her comments on thunderheist.com/news.php?news_id=86

I also asked a friend of mine (who has a few chickens) what she thought and she said it's not torture. Usually when you turn a chicken upside down, they just go limp. (Gravity-based blood circulation.)
Kingofpunk 3 years ago

they still use an animal...and suspend somebody or an animal by the legs still torture to my opinion.
will a 3 years ago

hey Kingofpunk, are you talking the animal torture in the video where it is being grabbed by its legs?, or after they finished, slit its throat, ripped the feathers off and deep fried it?
Kingofpunk 3 years ago

Then you don't mind if I take you by the legs and I shake you, nothing personal, just to make a few videos.
The video is really well done and got great image but I can't agree the use of animals, children or disable people ...
Michael Ragen 3 years ago

Kingofpunk, Caleb was never shaken.
Wemby Time 3 years ago

this is a nice video for the song, the slow motion provides a contrast to the song's aggressive beat

but it does borrow conceptual ideas from Vitalic's video for Poney Part 1

Awesome treatment for a music video. I like the simplicity of it. Damn good editing with a great dance track overlapping it. And it seemed like the girl had the right expression on her face on every frame. So good directing as well.
Carla 3 years ago

I've been watching this video all day. Genius! Such a fun and sexy hit. Thanks!!! Love the girls pants. Who is this girl??? Also, the video, musicians, art directing, quality, everything is ON POINT!! Share more.
Alanedit 3 years ago
