Music video director: Wayne Isham

Will Smith's music video for Welcome to Miami was directed and shot by Wayne Isham. He uses a type of morph editing technique for that interchanges Will from location to location in a 3 dimensional way. Isham has used this techniques in other music videos of his such as Metallica - I disappear, Bon Jovi - It's my life, Nsync - Pop



The 4 images below are from the opening shots of Will Smith - Miami. In this scenario here, Wayne Isham zooms into the action with each shot, creating a morph technique to look as if the camera has sped up and quickly jumped from one position to another. Picture 3 to picture 4 is a jump from an exterior shot to an interior shot which really baffled my mind, but the quick tempo of the motion blur made it almost seem natural in a deluded kind of way.






This time in Bon Jovi - Its my life, Wayne has zoomed out from the subject to make it seem that the camera quickly zooms out from his face, to front stage of a concert, to further behind the crowd, and then onto a Bon Jovi fan's computer screen. The same morphing technique allows me to believe its a quick camera movement.
