Hi everyone

How are you ...

can help for this video ?

can you write dialogs here ?

+++++

I wasn't really sure what you wanted O.o but i think that you want someone to write down what's being said? well i hope so anyway... if not i just wasted a LOT of time :P and it took so long that i'm way to tired to double check everything so hopefully it's all correct.


How you doing, I'm James from directing (something, i can't understand what he said) We're here in Detroit filming the video for Bad meets evil.

The song is called Fast Lane. I myself evil, My friend bad my counterpart and also sly sings the hook.

It's the first single from the album. It's straight lyrical, you know what i'm sayin', no conforming for radio or anything like that it's just straight raw hip hop.

It's a moving track, ya know i mean, up tempo. I was blessed to be a part of it. these guys have been to the lab just puting it together ya know for the last few months.

Even though, even though you know it's Fast Lane and it's bad and evil it's eminem and Royce. it's all in the family. so i couldn't have had this go down without being apart of it without just supporting it, just whatever they need.

I just heard there was free catering, i'm with it.

Yea it's a good thing you got a shot of me getting these cookies man, because that could be a jem one day.

Basically we're here in Detroit, we're in this decrepit warehouse that you don't really wanna sit down on anything or whatever but it sets for a nice canvas of what we're shooting. What can i say it's amazing. This song is insanely infectious. you know it's two amazing lyricists that are essentially continuing where they ended off and they're continuing it now and they're coming off hard as hell.

It's dazzling but that's the word that i'm using for the EP dazzling. that's 11 songs, 9 song and 2 bonus songs, dazzling.

It's not an album it's an EP but it's actually a little longer then an EP but a little bit shorter then an album. we weren't really sure what to call it so we just called in an EP. um like ep short for epic.

What's really cool about working with Eminem and his team is they'll come at you with an idea. you know we really wanna do something were we see the lyric, ya know, eminem is within the lyrics.

There's alot of words in this song. i thought maybe it would be a cool concept or cool idea to play around with words. kind of like what we're doing in the song. and take word and kind of throw em' around, bounce em' off walls. do all kinds of **** with the words, ya know what i'm saying.

it started with alot of ideas that eminem had. he wants to do something with like playing with words because we're doing alot of back and forth and it's alot of words flying everywhere. like when you listen to it, it sounds like pandemonium. he wants to do things with the words. to were we're performing to the camara kind of like smacking the words around.

because there's so many metaphors and almost like hidden messages that if you just listen to it you're gonna miss. so we're trying to put a visual to alot of what they're saying so that it will really translate across the board.

So really there's 3 components of the shoot. we have what we're calling the alternate performance take which is low angle in fact alot of the warehouse. we want to shoot something that is essentially, ya know, really raw like straight up hip hop like old school. and really frame eminem in a way he hasn't been seen in awhile but it's just letting them run lose. there's no technical aspect to it. they just do them and it's really about capturing the camaraderie and the energy that's carried through the artists.

You kind of inspire one another you kind of vibe off one another. I guess the good word is bounce, we bounce off each other.

Our next setup is what we're calling our paster performance but it's much more technical. it's where every line of this song is broken down into blocking and action so we have to play back the song we have it broken up into a lot of different key points. beyond that we're just going around. i mean this place has so much texture and like random imagery that like you can't make this stuff up so we're around with a second unit just picking off textures layers things that we can throughout the video and really kind of help paint the picture ya know around just performances.

He's very particular about his shots so it's reallt important with him to have a script supervisor on set so that there's someone after he does a take he likes to watch that take to kind of see where he needs to go with the next thing and at that point he starts picking out moments that he likes from specific takes than our script supervisor documents everything and then on the edit phase we basically have all our selects and then we move into the offcial post and that's where we start compositing all the lyrics and little icons that are gonna exist within space. and we're shooting it very handheld and organic so when we put those graphics and typography into the frame they'll detract and they'll be in 3D space. so if the camera moves like this the text will move with it.

There's absolutely no creativity in this video, at all. there's a little bit of creativity... a little bit.

It's not like i forgot it! it happens naturally, i don't know what to do. (i think that's what he said)

They'll really ham it up. Y'all stay tuned.

ah, it went great man.

It's a look that Eminem has never done. him doing it is really gonna make it special and take it to another level.

I think bar for bar(?) is gonna be out matched.

Y'all going crazy man.

You better f****** believe that one, that one i wasn't even gonna say, that one you could bet on though.
