    Hello thank you for your time. If you can watch this video for about the first 3 min at least up until the song is finished can you please share with me what kind of cameras were involved and if there is a guerrilla approach to reproducing such a setup? How many camera operators do you think were involved? Personally I more on the motion graphics end of things but I am interested in taking up shooting as well.

    There is absolutely nothing special about the cameras used for this. Could have been any matched set of cameras plus a switcher. it does look like it was switched live, though with effort, it could have been done in post. It is between 3 and 4 cameras used for the singing part, though if the crew and director are VERY skilled, it can be pulled off with 2 cameras. The wide dolly shots were rough and bumpy; I think the operator just dollied the camera across the floor on caster, no booms, jibs, or sliders apparent.
