A video work that opens the door to memory and creators. Friday Night Plans EP "When I Get My Playground Back" in audiovisual

"What you need is the equipment you have and your imagination." I thought about that when I saw a video work released the other day. [See all images] A video work that opens the door to memory and creators. Friday Night Plans EP "When I Get My Playground Back" is audiovisual. The work is the creator of all the songs of 2021 "When I Get My Playground Back" by Tokyo-based artist Friday Night Plans. Audiovisual visualized by Leo Youlagi. "When I Get My Playground Back" itself is a work that contains all seven songs that evoke a nostalgic feeling, such as the ambient "Intro: Squall" that contains the crackling surface noise of the record, and this work is also filtered. The look that visualizes the memory is impressive as a whole. And while presenting different visuals for each of the seven songs, the production that makes you feel the link in fragments is the charm unique to "visualizing all songs", and there is even a feeling of reliveing ​​the life of yourself or others. ..

No special equipment required

By the way, it is such audiovisual, but what I would like to pay attention to in terms of giz is the shooting equipment used in the production of this work. It's an iPhone 12 Pro Max, a Sony a7S III and a genuine GM 24-70mm lens, several filters, and a Manfrotto tripod. That's it. The a7SIII and GM lenses are reasonably expensive, but they are standard equipment like many YouTubers now use. And it's an iPhone that everyone has. There is an episode that director Hideaki Anno used it in "Shin Godzilla" and "Shin Evangelion Theatrical Version", and director Steven Spielberg also shot for video content on his iPhone in "West Side Story". As you can see, the iPhone is no longer a rare piece of equipment in the professional arena. Of course, in this work "When I Get My Playground Back", the equipment will be selected for video works that value the personal touch, but at the same time, as the equipment becomes more sophisticated and smaller, it will become a commercial machine. I felt that it was a set that symbolized the present age when the boundaries of consumer products are disappearing. Roughly speaking, it also means that many people can shoot a work similar to this "When I Get My Playground Back" audiovisual with their own equipment. With the smartphone I use all the time, a little mirrorless camera, and my imagination, I can visualize my favorite music work. Of course, there will be copyright issues with the music to make it publicly available, but no one will complain about private production or practice. If so, you may try to challenge yourself, "I would like to add this kind of video to" When I Get My Playground Back "." Do you want to take a step or not? Watching this video made me realize that such an era has really come. Source: YouTube
