how to shoot a music video in a motel room coming up what's up everyone my
name is Cracka Lack welcome back to Cracka Lack TV today we are in Flint Michigan
for those of you that know me I live in Lansing Michigan I'm about an hour away
and I'm gonna be linking up with an artist by the name of Mayor Man ZO and I'm
shooting a music video for him. This is his first music video in my vlogs I show you
guys behind the scenes of a lot of music videos that I shoot with this music
video we're shooting at a Red Roof Inn motel room and I know a lot of times as
music video directors we do the motel room music video things so I figured
this would be a cool tips and tricks type of tutorial vlog behind the scene
video so I can show you guys how I'm going to pull this off and hopefully you
guys can find some value in this. If you're new to the channel make sure
you subscribe and hit the bell to be notified for future uploads on my
channel I post helpful videos for my fellow peers wanna come up and they're
also vlogs just like this beat making videos and a lot more good content
welcome to the vlog. Shout out to Malik behind the camera he's filming this
whole vlog so if you like the angles Malik would angles. Yes beautiful
about a bang a hooker. Alright you guys so this is pretty much your
typical motel room see you got a bed sometimes you had a table couch area I'm
still trying to think of some ideas there's some good spots I'm definitely
gonna utilize this desk area will do something sitting on the edge of the bed
For the first scene the coldest spot in the room is this that's right here but the
light in and we got him we do ourselves prop money right here take a look cool you
got some weed dat killer there you go the name of the song is facing smoking a lot
of weed rolling up I got a lot of b-roll then
we're gonna get into the first performance shot during the performance
shot I'm gonna get him actually smoking while he's probably rappin here and there too.
you know say yeah this one you won't be rapping to the camera it'll be more like
a side of real close-up on the side of your face first you roll it then you smoke it.
Same spot same scene change the lighting
turn off all the lights just have a very small light behind them shining in
so it's like the silhouette is on to get a performance while I'm filming 4k 24
frames per second and then I also want to get like just some slow-mo of him
blowing out smoke but it the silhouette side of his face
oh yeah $20 oh no this is my own content for the
last year so that way I can like rebuild it because it was like worthless
subscribers because they weren't watching the videos because they might
have subscribed from a video of me making a beat or a singer or this rapper
or that rapper at that record but they get notifications of anything applause
so they don't watch it then it's telling you to his own subscribers don't like
the videos yeah so don't show it to more people yeah
so it was like hurting myself. On average a million views equals two to four
thousand dollars alright so now we're gonna do a scene outside I was gonna say
another tip there's a lot of motels that have the outside hallway or they have
like a stairway that you can use I've seen the park now it's got some white
LEDs just to change it up so we didn't do the whole entire music video and one
spot in the room do something outside just to switch it up all right said
something about like bringing a change of clothes or just throwing like he's
got a hoodie now he's got a hat on yeah Laker day LeBron haters oh the
news taking over the whole Midwest
I was gonna show you guys the food I forgot then I hate this but just knows
good if you're ever in the Flint area check out starlight diner
it's cold. It's time to hit the road and head back to Lansing might help to
take the lens cap off. Make a beat out of the blinker making the beat out of car
noises yeah that's a good one who wants to see it making a beat out of car noises
help you shoot some Motel videos started I've got there was some tips and a the
main take-home tip is walk in the room and find the coolest looking spot and use
one video I did down in Florida it was a really hype let's say Lil Pump type of
song type artist as well - there was just bouncing around like crazy shaking
their dreads like we're the closet part of the motel was and they look sweet as
hell just because of their energy and then the camera movement with it
artists with a lotta energy prop it out get you some money some leaves some
strippers booty shaking cool lights use the outside areas as long as it fits the
song so sponsoring this video sponsored Squarespace thank you for sponsoring this
