A Duel

As part of Diesel:U:Music director Tomas Mankovsky has teamed up with Blink Productions, Artem and MPC to create a cool new video that depicts a modern-day duel.
Mankovsky says, “It was difficult to know how this shootout would look like in super-slow-mo. We did some tests with a gas-flamethrower but the flame was only 2-3 meters and it looked quite bad in slow-mo, so the special effects guys had to build a new flamethrower from scratch. They made one with liquid fuel, and that one was much better, firing out 10-15 meter flames. But the first time we saw how the flamethrower and fire extinguisher looked and behaved in slowmo was on the day of the shoot.”
