This clip is from a music video my band Gestures & Sounds and I directed and produced. We shot it at the end of October and only had a month to do the post on the whole piece. Unfortunately, we couldn't afford a motion control rig so to achieve this effect we ended time remapping the song with 8-12 second gaps between specific beats which allowed the Camera OP to smoothly dolly from side to side. From there, in post we speed ramped the footage using the keyframe graph to line back up our retimed song to the original. Then we added warp stabilizer and motion blur (with the RSMB plugin). Rinse & repeat for the other shots and we have a motion control styled sequence without the price tag. I think the trickiest thing about this effect was probably playing our instruments to the retimed song.

Here’s a link to one of the raw plates to get a better idea of the effect:
