A guitar play-through demo video where nothing gets missed
Filming a Guitar play-through video for Olly's latest track "Waves"'; a demo video
The Brief
Create a play-through video for Olly’s track Waves with a clean, white “infinite room” feel.The key focus was making sure the fretboard was always clearly visible, while keeping Olly as the main focus throughout.
How Did We Do It?
We started by working with Olly to get a clear idea of the final look and feel he wanted.
Using reference images, we then searched for a space that would give us that clean, white backdrop while still fitting within budget. We visited a few studios before landing on one that gave us the right amount of space and flexibility for filming.
The timeline was a 3-week turnaround - so we made sure everything was prepped in advance to keep the shoot and edit as efficient as possible. On the day, we arrived early to get everything set up so Olly could jump straight into playing.We focused on capturing a range of angles to make sure every part of the performance - especially the fretboard - was clear and easy to follow.
Working with Super Llama was a total pleasure. Punctual, hard working, committed understanding and a great listeners. Big recommend!
The Results
The final video is a clean, high-quality demo of Olly’s playing. The process was smooth from start to finish, allowing for a quick turnaround and delivery. Alongside the video, we also captured behind-the-scenes photos and a mini shoot for Olly’s Instagram.
If you want more techy details than "lights and cameras" we'd love to share all of this with you. Just get in touch at the bottom of this page and we can hang out!
