Since i see that you are continuously moving towards pro-land i would like to suggest you to put a light in your to-purchase-list. Some basic key and fill will add a lot in interiors.
Keep it up! :)
EDIT: Oops! I just read that you used 2 500W lights! Wow! where did you hid them? ;-)
I actually have one on pre-order for almost a month now, but not sure when I am going to get it as the person who makes them by hand is currently busy with life. :)
Thank you for the video. Tell me about how you aimed your lights. I'm learning about lighting...
I can imagine why they where sweating, knowing you had a 1000 watts in there... :)
It was hot in there. :)
As for acting on the song, we had discussed the possibility, but the band didn't want to give a wrong impression that e.g. a band member did something bad and needed an alibi.
I was wondering what you meant by this
"playing the song at 125% faster"
Well I understand what you mean but I cant see where you have slowed down the video. But I must be picking you up wrong.
How long did this take you all together as in the filming and editing.
and also check out the OSNews link I link on the comments above. I explain everything there. The video you just saw was slowed down btw, you just didn't realize it. :)
{update}
A quick visit to the bands website revealed how long the filming and editing took. So now its just matter of clearing up that other pesky query..
I spent about 15 hours editing overall, in the span of 2 days.
If anything, I did notice a bit of frame blending. Possibly from the 125% speed increase? I'm sure this would work fine going from 30P to 24P though if you were using a HV30.
3-way CC with the lows wheel towards blue, mids towards yellow, and highs towards green. Saturation to 1500, gamma to 0.750. Magic Bullet with the Sepia Red template, but with pre-saturation to -70 instead of -100. Finally, Unsharpen mask at 0.250 and radius at 0.100.
You are a Pro Eugenia.
just a note -- this could've used higher shutter speeds though. A lot of motion blur which makes it smack of video. Other than that it looks nice.
To avoid that, I needed an HV30 with its 30p support.
short editing and acquisition time, that was
t-riff. I liked the simplicity of a "garage band"
earthiness expressed in the low key color
and loose funky dress down wear. The brief
effects refreshed my eyeballs and I even dug the
"breaking of the rules" regarding "looking space"
in the CU of the
guitarist's singing shot.
All in all sweet and inspiring to take my new
HV20 more seriously.
need for "looking room."
Will you be doing more music videos?
Yes, I am hoping to make more of them, I have 2-3 Bay Area bands in mind so far...

There's not a wrong note in any of it, anywhere. It's called making do with what conditions you have, and making a sum greater than the mere addition of bits and pieces. So this is art, pro quality, from a singular genius.
