Guillaume Panariello

Steve Angello "Children Of The Wild" (Guillaume Panariello, dir.)

OK, let's run the numbers on this one:

  • 0.8 seconds: Actual real duration of each scene.
  • 1000 fps: 24 frames-per-second is the shooting speed you know and love, but 1,000 fps is what makes this slo-mo effect work
  • 15 to 35 km/h: How fast the camera car had to move to keep up with the action
  • 5 tons of rubble
  • 15 destroyed cars
  • 3,000 square meter set set created in only 7 days

More importantly, though, the video ties into the song's message with Steve Angello calling it a "visual painting come to life" in an article with Rolling Stone.

The Five Second Video Shoot (Guillaume Panariello, dir.)

Most video shoots last hours upon hours upon hours. Unless you've got a Phantom camera, in which case you can shoot at 1,000 frames-per-second and shoot a one-taker in just five seconds.

Before you decide whether Guillaume Panariello is the laziest or smartest director on the block, take a look at the elaborate scene that plays out: It's likely more elaborte and has more action than your latest production.
