The isolation of the subjects with the 40-150 from what must have been a hectic environment is masterful, and allows us to appreciate their languorous movements that approaches true slow-motion filming.

Did you shoot some of this in 1080 60p displayed at 30p?

Thank you !

"Hectic environment" is the right word to describe the scene

As you say not easy to isolate the subject, that's why I mostly shot with the 40-150.

I shoot only in 4K at 30fps and for the slow motion I used Twixtor in After Effects. It's really powerfull but you have to take care, it can generates some "ghost" effect. I took care to get the best result but if you really pay attention you can see some weird effects.

Thanks for the explanation, Vincent. Fortunately, I see no ghosts! But are they hidden within the masks?!

Oh, and what is the music? It sounds very much like the recurring theme in the US TV serial program "House of Cards".
