Behind the Scenes: CORTIS Filming the Visualizer for 'MOTION' with Glow Sticks

The group CORTIS has revealed a candid look behind the scenes through a new behind-the-scenes video capturing the filming of the visualizer for their new song, 'MOTION (feat. Juicy J).' The video showcases the members moving dynamically with glow sticks to create light painting effects using light trails, interspersed with natural moments of rest.

Dynamic Movements Chasing Light Trails

The core of the visualizer shoot was the movement of light utilizing glow sticks. Following the staff's direction, the members moved back and forth in front of the camera, creating light trails. During the shoot, a staff member instructed them to move "wider and faster" to ensure the light painting effects would turn out well. In response, the members moved busily, approaching the camera closely or moving in zigzag patterns to maximize the visual impact of the light.

The filming process was particularly grueling, as the members had to constantly run and move around. James noted the intensity of the shoot, saying, "Whenever we film a video, it's always just running." Despite the repetitive movements, the members maintained their energy to ensure a high-quality result. After the shoot, they expressed satisfaction with the visual effects created by the light, remarking, "It feels like we're living in a futuristic era."

Between Fencing and Boxing: The Members' Playful Banter

During waiting periods, the members engaged in lighthearted conversations that showcased their individual personalities. Martin livened up the atmosphere by showing off a hat with the phrase 'PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN,' while the members displayed their closeness by sharing hand-drawn sketches and phone grips. In particular, Um Seong-hyeong drew laughter by playfully discovering a random gacha phone grip featuring a photo of Ju-hun and declaring he would use it.

During breaks, the members engaged in quirky discussions about sports they would like to learn in the future. When it was mentioned that Martin is learning boxing, the members argued that he should learn fencing instead, citing physical structure. The playful atmosphere was captured through dialogue such as, "Since Martin is tall, he can do boxing, but since I'm not tall, I should do fencing to protect myself using something long."

From the tension felt during high-angle shots to being startled by the sound of a ball flying from a baseball field, this video captures the natural chemistry unique to CORTIS rather than a stylized behind-the-scenes look. It simultaneously showcases the dynamic image of the song 'MOTION' and the approachable charm of the members.
