For example. We chose the verse \u2018so fresh so new\u2019 to represent the new music that is added daily to the Artlist catalog, and \u2018it\u2019s all for you,\u2019 is about how Artlist is centered around you, the user.<\/p>\n<h2>Working with non-actors<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a tip for anyone working with musicians (or any non-actor, for that matter): Take the time and effort to make them as comfortable as possible to get the reaction you need from them.\u00a0In this case, it would be to bring live-performance energy to the set. That could mean dancing or going wild as if you\u2019re part of the crowd or bringing big speakers to recreate the atmosphere of a stage. Talk to the musicians before shooting and learn what would make them feel most comfortable.<\/p>\n<h2>The production<\/h2>\n<p>To create the effect of the band coming up the window, we shot the ad in a green screen studio. We actually built a set wall with a window that divided the studio into two sections &#8211; the editor\u2019s room, and the outside where the band appears.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1202 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/rsz_img_1977-1300x867-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/rsz_img_1977-1300x867-1.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/rsz_img_1977-1300x867-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/rsz_img_1977-1300x867-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/rsz_img_1977-1300x867-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We chose to use real glass on the window to get realistic reflections. The downside of doing that is that it can create some problems with keying out the green screen. Another option is to shoot it without the glass and add the reflections in post-production. It makes it easier for keying but can take away from the realism of the scene.<\/p>\n<p>A very significant decision that we made was to shoot the two set-ups separately and then composite them together in post. The first half of the day was dedicated to shooting only the editor and in the second half, we shot the band with a green screen.<\/p>\n<p>That allowed us to really focus on each scene separately and gave us the flexibility of choosing the best take out of each.<\/p>\n<p>In editing, we keyed out the green screen and composited the band in the window together with a 3D city that we built in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxon.net\/en-us\/products\/cinema-4d\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cinema 4D<\/a>. We also added reflections, shadows, textures and lens flares to add realism to the scene.<\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"180\" class=\"elementor elementor-180\"
