Behind the scenes of this ballet #panaround - Super simple, put your hand in front of your phone and move veryyy slowly 🐢 while shooting in time-lapse mode on your phone camera

link in bio for tutorial for this effect karenx.com/create

Inspired by keer11811 (Douyin) - I first saw korean poppers do this effect (link in my stories) and thought it’d be fun to do a #ballet version, like a #ballerina music box figurine

meshna put his hand in front of the camera while I moved very very slowly. The video you’re seeing is 12 seconds, but we moved at about 1/10th the speed. Each attempt took about 2 minutes to shoot, with us holding our breath the whole time trying to coordinate all our actions. We did about 10 takes, and it took quite a bit of iteration on choreography and timing to get it to look right.

I actually chose the music after we finished shooting, and then brought the video into Premiere Pro to adjust the speed curves to try to get the actions to match up to the music. If you want some Premiere tips, Adobe MAX is free this year on October 20-22 where they have a bunch of virtual sessions where you can learn Premiere Pro. I’ve got a link in my stories to register and I’ll be covering some of the sessions in my stories as well. #AdobePartner #AdobeMAX
