How We Shot This Kendrick Style Music Video

[@danielschiffer]

The amount of value packed into this one video is insane. What an epic team, and the result speaks for itself 👏

[@MattAitia]

Thanks Daniel!

[@mykeljewell]

Facts! Just the scouting part alone with the lens data is so smart so simple and so obvious but sooooo good.

[@SpaceprogramZM]

Indeed, great video Matt

[@nominalbutchery5086]

I've been struggling with motivation, inspiration and the general feeling of defeat with the lack of optimism and positive attitude in my film circle. Thank you for helping me feel excited and inspired again.

[@MattAitia]

Be the positive change! You got this!

[@beezyblanco]

BRO YOU ARE A LEGEND, HOPE TO WORK WITH YOU ONE DAY!

[@bigalleng84]

omg this is one of the best BTS break down videos ive ever seen. im also film director and fx3 & fx30 shooter. this was a perfect blueprint not only how to shoot a music video but how to do it on a tight budget with proper planning and execution. i will definitely be using this as a platform to shoot going forward and yes please continue making these bts breakdown videos they are amazing

[@MattAitia]

Hell yeah Allen! Glad you’ll be using this as a blueprint for your shoots

[@hemlockmediacompany9927]

Holy Shit, I have been watching BTS break down videos as a filmmaker for years now and this has got to be the most useful video I have seen.

[@MattAitia]

Thank you!

[@NfynitePixels]

not gonna lie, i recently moved to georgia and i have an interest in cinematography, and to see/hear how pre production is vital to these type of shoots is amazing, ive learned so much in this one video...

[@petersarellas]

This was such a good watch, you all killed it. Loved seeing how well the plan in pre-production was executed and the result speaks for itself

[@MattAitia]

Thank you!

[@YoungBlaze]

that location scout lense app , whats the name of it , i cant seem to find it Cad Ridge?

[@animusvisual]

cadrage

[@MattAitia]

It’s called Cadrage!

[@lukasmokes]

in case you were wondering; this is what value looks like…incredible

[@saul7838]

Honestly best video I’ve seen so far, thank you

[@MattAitia]

Thank you!

[@DeltaXMusic]

sick work! great song and video

[@azza7201]

That looked like fun. When you’re on a shoot for 6 months that’s when you might have a sick day, if you don’t want to work again. It’s also very sad when it all finishes and your new best friends go away. I always cry. Good luck. X

[@MattAitia]

I know the feels

[@manunaykene]

Spectacular video my friend, simply spectacular.

[@MattAitia]

Thank you!

[@noog6756]

Thanks for telling me theres such a thing called the sun seeker apps. I would usually take pictures of various spots throughout my adventures whether its by car or bike for future shoots (if its good later on). And so months would pass by and id forget the earth tilts and i cant get the photo again. But im so glad you mentioned theres an app for this, 🙏

[@NaorFilms]

Great job guys keep pushing

[@fuzzylion1172]

7:36 was shot next to Leslie TTC station 1 parking lot south, that's pretty cool for me because I've known that area for a while. Unless I'm wrong but by the hospital in the back I think its there
