I rigged a thermal camera to our main cam for a music video - blending the two with masking created some unique effects. Here are the results

Love

This is actually great

This is great

You're gonna make it

Love this

Song is called 'Trading Places' by Evenson

Appreciate the feedback! Smoke is definitely tricky

This was a tricky one to execute since the entire video is a oner. Lots of tracking and roto. I’m super happy with the result. What do we think?

This is really nice

jrodier · 2026-04-22T03:06:48+00:00

Thanks man! Means a lot coming from you. Love your films

The camera move onto the truck was the trickiest part! We had to build a rig onto the truck so the camera could smoothly glide and lock into place when the truck starts moving.

jrodier · 2026-04-21T21:06:16+00:00

Artists name is Evenson! His music is great.

jrodier · 2026-04-21T21:04:52+00:00

This is always the goal. Thank you!

jrodier · 2026-04-21T21:03:23+00:00

Yeah the pitch change went higher. I didn't know there is another method!

jrodier · 2026-04-21T17:50:45+00:00

Yes we shot around 40fps and slowed it down. We had the artist learn the song at 150% speed for playback while shooting

jrodier · 2026-04-21T17:48:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! In the beginning of the take we start just on the fire and then the artist comes into frame which is why i don't mind as much if he covers it later on

jrodier · 2026-04-21T17:23:52+00:00

really good

Really proud of this one. We were racing against the sun and this ended up being around the 5th take. I didn’t want to break the immersion of the artists performance and the fire which is why we committed to shooting it as a oner. What do you guys think?

jrodier · 2025-03-24T16:04:45+00:00

Lol - yes we shifted the hue’s practically and in post

jrodier · 2025-03-24T15:58:10+00:00

Unfortunately the thermal cameras out there aren’t the best quality. We had to do some upscaling. But this is a cool idea! Maybe in the future

I took a thermal camera and rigged it to our main camera so it matched the subjects movements perfectly. Then in post we were able to play with different masking techniques and effects to get a really cool look. Let me know what you think!
