One Shot with Ed Sheeran

Director: Philip Barantini

Director of Photography: Nyk Allen

For Adolescence director Philip Barantini's latest oner, a one-hour take following Ed Sheeran across New York City, the production needed a solve where a human operator couldn't phyiscally be.

‍

No operator could stand while the bus was in motion while driving around New York City, limiting the creative possibilities.

‍

Mocolab's Cinebot Max was involved in capturing Sheeran on top of a moving double-decker bus — legally, flawlessly, without a single cut.

‍

Working with Key Grip Stratton Bailey, the team custom-mounted the rig to the roof, delivered an variety of angles utiliaing the the track and robot's reach while the bus was in motion.

‍

No do-overs. No resetting. Just robotics delivering.
