BEHIND THE SCENE | XADI feat. NINA COBHAM - Manana Music Video

It’s a very challenging moment for everyone in our industry. With rules changing every week or so and COVID-19 numbers scarily going up every day, it’s difficult to find jobs and have consistency and keep up with good quality jobs.

I’m very pleased I had the chance to work on the latest music video for XADI feat. NINA COBHAM - Manana. Shot in one day, 3 different locations and a small budget, we managed to pull out a nice looking series of frames. I’m very pleased with what we got considering a big challenge with the weather and lots of last-minute changes.

More important, I’m very pleased I got the chance to work alongside nice people and we spent a nice day together, going through every scene with a nice crew attitude and good mood.

We shot with the same setup I tested a few months ago:

  • Sony FX9 (sensor on 16:9, Cinetone)

  • Atlas Orion Set B Anamorphic (cropped to 2:39:1)

  • Set of Schneider Hollywood Black magic filters

All kit has been supplied by Shootblue, they never miss a chance to be pure legends! Thank you guys!
