1200 fans as extras for A.B.C-Z's DVD


July 10, ZIP! revealed the making of A.B.C-Z' latest music video DVD "Legend Story". As allways, for this music video, A.B.C-Z only used one camera to shoot the whole video in one cut.

A.B.C-Z is a 5-member group known for their acrobatic talent. They debuted in 2012 and became the first Johnny's group to debut with a DVD. Since then they have released 6 music video DVDs. One of A.B.C-Z's trade mark is to shoot the music video in one cut using one camera, though their second music video DVD wasn't shoot that way.

For their latest music video DVD, "Legend Story", which was released on July 9, they challanged 1200 fans to participate in the one cut shooting. The shooting took place in a hall and the 1200 people needed to fill this hall whithin 1 minute. During that time, A.B.C-Z members kept performing on stage with the camera focusing on them. The shooting didn't directly go well. Accidents, such as staff being captured by the camera did happen. Because of this, the shooting must be started from the beginning again. The fans needed to empty the hall and waited for their cue to enter the hall.

It took 7 takes to finally get an 'OK' from the director.
