How did we create this? A look behind the scenes when The MUDD Club is recording "5am squad", "50-70", "Feel better" & "Lose your blues". Join in on this magical day in the studio.

You know how some questions you get really lights you up inside? That it just FEELS right? When I got asked if I wanted to make live performance films of this band consisting of 13 amazing humans recording their songs, I got exactly THAT that feeling.

The story in short:
It was me, Kalle and Isak on the cameras. The challenge when doing a thing like this is that using three cameras and recording each song about four times, we need to cover our bases and get all the angles we need. Without interfering with each other or everyone catching the same shots because that's where something interesting is happening at the moment.

So we made a plan where we could focus on different areas, and for each take using different framings. We started wide, then went closer, and in the final round we did the creative, interesting angles. This way we also learned the songs and where the most important moments were happening. Like when there's a base solo, it needs to be captured really close.

For lighting we turned off all ambient lights in the studio, and used a big light source blasting up in the ceiling to up the overall key of the room.

Then we built a ring of smaller lights around the studio, a variety of Aputure 300's, to always have backlit shots no matter which angle we were filming from. You want that light coming from the far end of the room straight into the camera to create an interesting look.

Also this setup allowed us to move freely and not having to worry about where the lights were setup, which there was no time for when the action started.
