CELESTIAL INCLINATION

CELESTIAL INCLINATION

We had a wonderful opportunity to work with some of the best acrobatic performers in the world. We wanted to make something that will capture the aesthetics of movement and embody the beauty of the human body as in seemingly no gravity atmosphere. We created two final versions.
CELESTIAL INCLINATION
SWIFT VERSION
This is faster and shorter version with music by Vladimír Mikláš, mixed by Jakub Šindler.
CELESTIAL INCLINATION 2
ECHO VERSION
This version is slower and much more calm, with more postproduction which makes whole atmosphere more space like.

STATS AND TECHNICAL INFO
We recorded most of the material on GoPro Hero 9, 240fps, 1920x1080px. Some shots were shot on iPhone 11 and drone DJI MAVIC 2 PRO.

Shooting itself took us one day. Most of the shots were just seconds in real time. We was recording in high framerate so we ended up with tens of hours of material. Editing highframe rate video material is nightmare even on powerful machines. Even nowdays proxies are still a bit problematic issue (i.e. frame drops and scrobbling)

Overall flying particles are real white glitters falling off of the bodies of performers. We glued glitters with hair hardener. Martina and Lukáš weren't much happy about it. But it made big difference in overall atmosphere.

We tried to use dedicated sport grips and tripods for attaching cameras, but in the end, most useful was good old tape.

For some shots we taped gopro on tire and rolled around.

Behind the scenes - real speed vs slow motion
Single shots
Most of the shots are very eyecatching by itself. Thanks to high frame rate they are hypnotizing and sadly quite a long for the final cut. We love them anyway.
