Tatort Making-of in 360° for the episode "Die Musik stirbt zuletzt" (The Music Dies Last)

"The music dies last" - this is the title of the first "Tatort", which was shot in a single camera shot and will be broadcast today. The accompanying 360° video by Concept360 can already be admired and shows Dani Levy and his team filming.

A benefit concert takes place at the KKL. What is supposed to be a contemplative evening with classical music goes off the rails: blackmail, murder, dark secrets and unatoned guilt. In the middle of it all are Flückiger and Ritschard, who have to find the culprit under massive time pressure.

What makes the 14th Swiss "Tatort" unique is that the entire plot takes place in real time, i.e. during just under 90 all-important minutes in the lives of the protagonists. To capture this dynamic, the "Tatort" was shot in a single camera shot. This required pinpoint staging and intensive rehearsals. The "Tatort - Die Musik stirbt zuletzt" was acted out over four evenings - similar to a theatre performance - while the cameraman Filip Zumbrunn followed the actors and actresses across the KKL without ever interrupting the filming.

In addition to Delia Mayer and Stefan Gubser, Hans Hollmann (Walter Loving), Andri Schenardi (Franky Loving), Uygar Tamer (Jelena Princip), Teresa Harder (Miriam Goldstein), Gottfried Breitfuss (Gidon Winternitz), Heidi Maria Glössner (Silvia Bosshardt), Sibylle Canonica (Alice Loving) and many more were in front of the camera. In addition, a total of over 1500 extras were present as concertgoers during the filming.

It took a total of four runs of about five hours each and thus good stamina on the part of all those involved to produce the final product: one film in Swiss German and one in High German.

Unplanned shoot

During the entire filming period and even during rehearsals, CONCEPT360 accompanied the cameraman Filip Zumbrunn with his handheld camera as well as the main actors Stefan Gubser and Delia Mayer with their 360° equipment. Their production was also a great logistical adventure, as absolutely nothing could be planned for them either.

Viewers of the 360° video can immerse themselves in the scenes and in the making of the film in a very special and unique way; because not even the 800 extras on site were so close to all the action. With these recordings, they thus provide a very exclusive look behind the scenes.

SRF uses the 360° video as a complementary 360° Report online.
