The Rolling Stones – Love Is Strong – OFFICIAL PROMO

I wonder how they did this back in 1994?

I am sure most of this is The Rolling Stones and the models “Green Screened” into the footage, but do think some of this is the Stones in miniature sets?

Have the Rolling Stones prance about in front of a green screen and then use adobe after effects > motion tracking?

Or have some kind of advanced motion control camera rig so that they shot they Full scale buildings and green screen shots the same way? HOW could they pull of those elaborate moving dolly shots?

“

Your love is strong and you’re so sweet;
You make me hard, you make me weak;
Love is strong and you’re so sweet,
And some day, baby, we’ve got to meet…

”

“

What are you scared of, baby?; It’s more than just a dream;
I need some time; We make a beautiful team…

I don’t think that even the Rolling Stones could afford to build mini sets for a video. But maybe, (MAYBE) an effects house had some city sets left over from some other film that they could use. But thats a maybe. More likely. they shot wide format ( 70mm????) for both the city and the actors, thus giving them latitude the add movement and shake. Im not saying they DID use models. But if I were the director I would so love to just have mick strut his stuff in a micro set and shoot it hand held. It would make it so much easier and faster.

Directed by David Fincher?

I just read an article in MOVIE MAKER magazine that has my head spinning.

Theres an interview with Steve Bellamy, President of Kodak Film. Bellamy gave a bunch of reasons as to why independent filmmakers should be shooting on film, not digital.

Well, I don’t know any “filmmaker” today who wouldn’t WANT to be shooting on true film. But its too expensive.

Bellamy said “ No one ever said ‘lets make this film look more like digital’ “

Well thats true, I do EVERYTHING I can to make my digital footage look “cinematic” Filters, de saturation….. I’ve gotten pretty good at making color digital look like high contrast Black and White, but Im not satisfied with making digital look like color film.

Bellamy said “Film is LESS expensive than digital, no ifs ands or buts”

Well I could give him dozens, if not hundreds of no ifs ands or buts…

He said “camera packages are cheaper with film. Your shooting ratios are lower, your performances are better. People prepare better and storyboard with film— in video they don’t. Film doesn’t have a video village”

He is SO wrong on that. I prep as if it were film. I storyboard. I don’t have a “video village” anyway, my DSLR is used just like a film camera.

He said “When you edit digital, you have four times as much footage to soft through than if you shot film”

He may be right about that, but if I’m editing something I shot myself, I can sift through the footage really fast. In fact some “bad” footage” might capture something I didn’t notice at first.

But of course, his business is selling film.. so of course he’s biased.
