Description: Film and edit by Amir Zakeri Music was created by my brother Alexander. You can contact him through email here: alexanderzmusic@gmail.com Check out his SoundCloud! soundcloud.com/alexander-zakeri This video is inspired by Devin Graham's version of The Fire Knife Dance, if you haven't seen that yet, check it out here! youtube.com/watch?v=7uxUNyQ_c1E The Fire Knife Dancers I got to film are some of the best in the world and are all based out of Hawaii. My friend Chado helped produce the video and gather all of the dancers and plan out locations and times. He also supplied the guys with the fire knifes. It was a true honor to work with these guys and I now consider them all great friends. This video was all shot on Maui. Here are the names of all of the dancers I worked with, in the order they appear. Chado Vincent Tua Evalu Malo Jordan Mata'u III Martin Tevaga Sean Aquino This was all all shot on my Canon 6D. All of the shots were done with my Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L Series lens on the Glidecam. This was shot at 1080p @ 30fps. I edited in Premiere Pro CC. I didn't color grade at all or speed up any footage, all the footage you see is RAW, right from the camera (excluding the slo-motion of course). I used frame blending for the slo-motion to create the smooth blur effect. The smooth, floating-like shots were done with a Glidecam HD 2000. You can learn more about Glidecam's in the link below. They take a learning curve, but are amazing once you get the hang of em! glidecam.com For FREELANCE FILM OPPORTUNITIES, you can contact me at this email. amirzakeri96@gmail.com
