urban warfare

Description

Music Video Paula Seling & Ovi will represent Romania with the song "Playing With Fire" at the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo (Norway), taking place on the 25th, 27th and 29th of May. (c) & (p) by Adevarul Holding SRL and TVR Production Company: Schneider Productions SRL The action of this video is happening in the near future with an 80ies vibe. Paula and Ovi are taking a domestic fight to another level by controlling different characters in a computer game: Pilots in a space-race, soldiers in urban warfare, dancers and finally robots dancing in sync with the human dancers. The video has been filmed in Romania (Alba Iulia and Sebes) and Austria (Schloss Grafenegg). The technology behind it is similar to the one used for making the movie Avatar, called "motion capture". Special suits with motion sensors have been used to translate the dancers movements onto the 3D generated and animated robots.
