A 3.5-minute music video shot in 5 seconds

Filmmaker says 'shortest shoot ever' was made possible with Phantom 4K camera

One November day, a car drove by at 50 km/h and filmed 80 extras involved in the making of a music video. The whole video was shot in 5 seconds.

French filmmaker Guillaume Panariello told PetaPixel that he did the “shortest shoot ever” using a Phantom 4K camera that is capable of shooting 1000 frames per second (regular cameras shoot anywhere from 24 to 60 frames per second on standard resolution).

The extras involved in the making of this video were strategically placed along an 80-meter stretch of road in an industrial area in France. Then a car fitted with the camera drove by filming them engaged in various activities.

The process was over in 5 seconds, but the real impact was felt once the video was slowed down in the studio to a full 3.5 minute. Some computer generated special effects were also added to produce the final product for French artist Siska's song "Unconditional Rebel".

Here’s how the video was shot:
