How We Made a Unique Aftermovie

One of the biggest music festivals in Norway wanted us to make an unique Aftermovie. This is how it went. We will also reveal the first winners of Filmmakers World Cup in this video!

So, an Aftermovie is basically a video about an event or festival. It’s purpose is to show how awesome the festival is and thereby get new visitors and more sold tickets.

Our Aftermovie was for a Norwegian festival called Landstreff Stavanger. Over 13 000 graduated students visit the festival every year to celebrate their graduation and party with artists like Martin Garrix, Axwell Ingrosso, Macklemore and more. When people graduate in Norway, they celebrate something called “russ”. They dress up in special clothes, style their own party busses and party for many weeks. It was going to be a crazy weekend for sure.

For filming, we had two Panasonic EVA1 cameras, one Red Scarlet, one Red Epic, a Panasonic GH5s, a Panasonic GH5, a Sony a7s and a Dji Phantom drone. The EVA1 and GH5s were meant for the fictional scenes, the second EVA1 and the red cameras were meant for concerts and other stuff, the Sony A7S was meant for interviews, and the GH5 for backup. Using cameras from the same brand and shooting in the same picture profile, makes it much easier to match the colors in post.

For the fictional scenes besides the festival, we used the EVA1 with Atomos Shogun Inferno to record 10-bit apple prores and to use the nice HDR tool on the Shogun. If you haven’t seen the video about it yet, here it is:    • Do external recorders improve your videos?  

This is one of the projects were you realise yet again that having having an awesome crew, dedicated to their work, is both highly necessary to make a good film and what makes the production fun to do. Thanks to Leander Håvik, Ole-Martin Sandness, Kristoffer Alvarado, Ask Sunde, Fredrik Winge, Dmitry Tkachenko, David Kristiansen and Sindre Sandemo.
