Ave Maria - Otamatone - behind the scenes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- People have asked about how this video was done, so here's the raw camera footage from the Ave Maria video. I have a black cloth over the stem / noting area of the Otamatone, and there is a black music stand oriented horizontally just below its mouth to provide a "floor". All the movement, rack focuses, etc were done after the fact.
The performance, however, is not really altered in any way (except I think there's a bit of reverb added.)
I always geek out on SFX / behind-the-scenes videos for movies, so thought it would be fun to post this.
You have no idea how much this means to me
Sharkalien I want to like this comment.. but it's at 69 likes..
I love how the camera shakes when they laugh, but besides that.. This really is a treat to see after viewing the video of this master piece.
That vibrato is so beautiful I could never top that, even after singing lessons (cries at the beauty of this song)
I like how the lighting makes it look like it has an overbite.
It actually does, kinda. Or at least, the way I hold the mouth always bends it like that.
I'd like to see you try adding features like teeth, a tongue, or a nose, to one of these things.
Well..it's just an Otamatone Deluxe...I use only one finger and slide it so that there's never a "jump" in pitch, which is not possible with the voice either...and beyond that it's mostly vibrato and determining when the mouth should open.
I'd like to see you do some kind of ventriloquist type performance with one of these. It could be like a character for a kid's show or something.
Otamatone explains the facts of life!!!!
My Otamatone is coming tomorrow.
Andrew Tan gud f0r u

How do you accomplish the vibrato with the otamatone?
Looks like he moves up and down on the neck slightly, hard to tell with the cover though
I don't know what I expected
Can you do "Unquiet Slumber For The Sleepers" by Genesis next?
I got an otamatone for my birthday
Nem o cara guento e começou a rir um pouco
How'd you get the background to be dark in the final video?
Final Cut Pro X's Color Correction tool in this case, but any video software which lets you adjust brightness and contrast could get you there..
What video editing program do you use?
Final Cut Pro X. But I'm not doing anything fancy...I think almost anything would work.
Did you see my previous comments where I said you should add features to the otomatone, like teeth or a nose or something - and do some sort of ventriloquist type performance with it? Maybe you could attach rubber pieces to it with tape or sticky tack or something similar, in order to not ruin it. Or maybe you could even do green screen (chroma key) inside the mouth somehow. You could make its mouth look like it's a portal to another dimension or something. That'd be really funny, but it'd probably be really hard to do, though.
Every time I've tried to add something, it's like the charm has gone away...it exists in this perfect balance / uncanny valley place. But I like the ideas! I am working on a new video right now but there's more work going into set design...:D
Where can I get an otamatone like this? this specific brand I mean
ai crai everitaim. :,)
Are you using a deluxe?
Yes.
is this the deluxe or standard model??
Deluxe.
Michael Thomas Connolly thanks. would you consider the price jump worth it? I seriously want one of these and as very advanced cellist I think I'd be pretty good 😂
Yes, definitely. The standard one can barely be played in a musical way. Just too small and the touch sensor is erratic / weirdly insensitive, then overly sensitive on the two little ones I've played. The deluxe is pretty nice.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What happened at the end there? 2:16
That's what's known in the biz as a "shriek of delight."
Ah, I was referring to the cadenza. It sounds familiar but I don't recognize it. I don't think that's how Ave Maria ends but I prefer your version anyways.
I just made it up :) I guess that makes me a real purist (no written cadenzas for me!)
This isn’t really behind the scenes
