A note from The Virts about "The Making of RISE":
"Can you make the card boomerang behind your back and hit this exact spot 100% of the time? We're asking because syncing robot-to-robot is challenging enough... and you're asking for man versus machine."
This was the question posed to us by The Shooting Gallery, the production house and crew that would help us bring "RISE" to life.
We had three days to shoot thirteen scenes.
"What can we do in one day?", we asked.
"We managed to shoot an ice cube falling into a glass of water. What do you guys have in mind?"
...And the rest is history.
So, here is the behind-the-scenes look at how we created "RISE" - perhaps the most ambitious and challenging Cardistry video ever produced.
To give you an idea of the gargantuan task that "RISE" was, the video was filmed with a Phantom Flex4K high-speed camera mounted to a cinematic robot arm, Bolt.
In essence, every single camera movement, angle, and focal point had to be pre-programmed before we started shooting.
Man had to match machine, or be left behind.
In other words, we had to synchronize our movements to the robot arm perfectly for every single shot. If our timing was even a little bit off, we had to start all over again... and that meant an entire crew waiting on us, and lost time that we would never get back.
The result, however, was completely worth it. And above all, it perfectly encapsulated the message behind "RISE" - that in order to truly progress, one must first embrace failure.
This is the story of "RISE", and we hope you enjoy it.
