Arcstream AV use more than Smoke and Mirrors for Sugababes Video
Arcstream AV proved it's not all smoke and mirrors when it comes to special effects when they created the futuristic look for the Sugababes new music video. Arcstream AV was commissioned by music video directors Between the Eyes to create the stunning visual laser effects in the video for Sugababes new single ‘Get Sexy'.
The video sees the singers enclosed in a cylinder of mirrors and Arcstream AV had to devise a way of creating the special effects within the cylinder. By installing a 10 watt RGB laser and diffraction mirrors within the cylinder and feeding the lasers and a camera through a small aperture in the side of the cylinder, the action within the enclosed area could be captured without disrupting the laser stream.
Wayne Haxton, director of Arcstream AV explained: "Capturing the images was a challenge due to the tight space restrictions, so we used defraction mirrors to bounce the laser beams within the cylinder allowing them to be directed."
