View Full Version : Mixed methods deliver a singular message - anything goes if it works.

Here below is a link to a video featuring an up-and-coming female pop artist from Colombia. Not that this is my favorite genre when it comes to moving pictures however I lived in Mexico long enough to love, and I really mean really love, American Latinos.

But that’s not the point of this post. The point I want to highlight is the look(s) of this production, how it/they were achieved, how cool is that, and make the point that the artist responsible for creating this post-modern piece has cobbled together a number of notions - from a cinematic point of view that is - including fast sub-second cuts, blurred yet sharp close-ups, whip-pans, soft-focus, bleached-yellow skin tones, cool blue toning, even a smidgeon of shallow DoF here and there (you have to look for it), and more.

Is it cinematic, organic, filmic? I don't know. Probably not. Who cares?

Great production values, I reckon. The message she delivers to the guy from yesterday/tomorrow I leave for you to interpret.

I wonder what camera(s) they used!
