A singer has reportedly set his pants on fire during the filming of a music video after refusing to pay for visual effects that would have created the same effect digitally.
The unusual stunt has attracted attention online, with footage from the music video production showing the artiste using actual fire rather than relying on computer-generated or other visual effects.
According to reports surrounding the video, the singer wanted a scene involving his clothes catching fire but opted to perform the stunt for real after declining to spend money on visual effects.
The decision has generated reactions from viewers, with some finding the incident humorous while others have questioned the decision to use real flames during a music production.
Using fire in a film or music video typically requires careful planning, professional supervision and appropriate safety measures. Special-effects teams can use controlled flame effects, protective equipment, fire-resistant clothing and other techniques to create dramatic scenes while reducing the risk of serious injury.
Visual effects can also be used to add or enhance fire digitally, eliminating the need for an artiste to come into direct contact with flames.
The reported incident has therefore sparked discussion about the lengths some entertainers may go to in order to achieve a particular visual effect or reduce production costs.
While the stunt may have been intended to create a memorable moment for the music video, working with fire without appropriate professional safety measures can result in burns, clothing-related injuries or more serious accidents.
The incident has since attracted attention online, with viewers debating whether the decision to avoid visual-effects costs was worth the potential safety risks involved.
