Men Without Hats | This War

Concept

Watching strange flying people through the glass floor of a tall building.

Synopsis

In one continuous take, we watch the feet person walking on the glass floor of the CN tower, tapping her toes to the music. Below her feet, in the air over Toronto, various colourful characters (including the snow man from Met Without Hat’s video Pop Goes the World) fly by in time to the music.

Technical

Camera: 5D Canon Mark III DSLR + Canon EF 24-105mm zoom lens.

For the flying effect, actors will be shot under natural light in front front of a green screen. The actor’s bodies will be suspended with simple rigging.
