Director Sam Pilling’s music video of the year 2020 for DJ Shadow and De La Soul “Rocket Fuel” needs to be seen! Conspiracy theory? Believe the moon landings were fake? This video is great fun – comic scenes of what went wrong. Utterly brilliant! Genius.
Director Sam Pilling and DoP Rina Yang on set with cast - archive footage was used as well as new live action shot on 16mm and 35mm.
Sam Pilling “I really wanted the video to feel ‘authentic’. For viewers to question (albeit for a brief moment) what archival footage was, and what was filmed by us. So, my biggest priority was ensuring that everything looked and felt as believable as possible. When DP extraordinaire Rina Yang came on board we talked about the best way to achieve an authentic archival look. Rina suggested the idea of shooting with two different film formats; 16mm open gate for the mission control room (giving the imagery a textured feeling similar to the old stock footage) then 35mm for the moon landing film set, giving a slightly sharper, more cinematic look.”
