The Making of "Evil Machine": Where Technology Meets Art
The filming took place at Revi venue in Vicálvaro (Madrid), a space adapted to create multiple sets:
1. 360° Choreography and Movement Set
- The Glam Cam Slow Motion 360º captured Tete Novoa mid-performance, creating a spectacular rotation effect that amplified his vocal dramatics.
- Choreographed sequences with dancers, where 360° slow-mo added cinematic depth.
2. Band Integration
- Musicians were filmed with the same system, producing dynamic shots contrasting with traditional takes.
- Post-production: Strobe lighting effects and digital distortion enhanced the track’s «mechanical» atmosphere.
