How Hollywood Makes Characters Walk On Walls | Movies Insider
Ойын-сауық
Many movies, TV shows, and music videos have called for surreal sequences where the characters are thrown into zero gravity as the room they’re in starts to move around them, thus finding themselves walking on the walls and ceilings. It started when Fred Astaire danced on all corners of a room in 1951's “Royal Wedding.” A rotating set with a fixed camera attached allowed the actor to dance with no gravity while still keeping his feet to the ground. This technique was applied in similar ways in movies like “Poltergeist” and “High School Musical 3,” as well as music videos like Lionel Richie’s “Dancing on the Ceiling” and Ariana Grande’s “No Tears Left to Cry.” Movies like “Inception” innovated by allowing its actors to fight in a rotating hallway with multiple cameras capturing the action. In 2019, the pilot episode of HBO’s “Euphoria” used a revolving set to allow its main character, played by Zendaya, to walk on walls. VFX supervisors David Van Dyke and Nhat Phong Tran of Pixomondo told us how the show used everything from motion-control cameras to visual effects to create a scene with not one, but two centers of gravity.

It's like people who spend a whole week to digitally create an image most people wont look at for more than a couple of seconds. Perfection takes time, you just gotta decide what's worth it to you. (Drawing certainly wasn't for me haha)

I've worked on TV and movie shoots as a lighting tech. I've spent hours or even days shooting what amounts to 3-60 seconds of actual footage in the final cut. Some days it's amazing and very rewarding other days it's directors spending too much money for what amounts to a minuscule amount of the final product.

Sometimes KZread is like Hollywood cinema. One video gets released and others showing the same thing get released around the same time too. It's like the writers all have a common workshop or something.

Just watched the movie "Lucy" for film class, and came right back to this video to prove that one of the scenes in this movie contained the rotation of the room and fixation of the camera to achieve the full effect of the scene! So cool that watching this randomly one day out of boredom could be one of my supporting points for a college class.
I always wanted to do that, ever since I watched high school musical 3 as a kid

Huh, re-upload. For a while I thought this was yet another instance of the duplicate topics between Insider, Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ...
Dancing on the Ceiling actually used three sets. One set was the right way up, the second was identical to the first but upside down, and the third set could rotate. There is a moment in the video where within a single shot a person goes from standing upright in one set to seemingly flipping upside down to stand on the ceiling. What they did to pull it off was to have the person upside on wires on the ceiling of the upside down set, then they would flip while being lowered on the cables onto the floor of that set. So they used more than just an upside down set to film the Dancing on the Ceiling music video.
AWESOME
This is probably my favorite film technique ngl. 2001 Bowmans Jog
When the Clouds Roll by was the first film to use this effect
Really amazing
The phantom scene with Zohan is the best
Incredible

It's sort of similar, but done horizontally. The camera is fixed along with the walls. That whole unit moves, creating the illusion of not moving.

I'm confused as why "Nsync - Bye Bye Bye" wasn't featured in this video at all. That video blew my mind as a kid.
Wow 🤩
I like how high school musical was the second one listed lmao
so they had to build another set that did not move, and then had to build a doors that would split so the camera could fit though and then had to build another set attached to that set, all for a little scene in a TV show that i have never watched.
The music video was more akin to Fred Astaire's Royal Wedding movie
When the exact same video exists... :(
I just watched "Inception" and this came in my feed. Now, I feel like I'm in a dream🙃💀🗡️
