For father's day weekend, I had a choice of what to do. So I said, I want to do a fun music video with my son Riley who just turned 8 recently. I wanted to play with my Canon 5D which just came out with a new firmware upgrade for manual video setting. I also wanted to play with my "Do it yourself" gadgets like the "zazaSlider" which is a rail system to slide my camera like a dolly shot (see picture on this page). Thanks to zazaCast of dvxuser.com for the instructions on how to make one. Well, here's what we came up with with the help of a couple of friends and Riley's cousin. We shot for a couple of hours in downtown Filmore, California.

did you convert to 24p?, How did you get the "glow" look and you colors?
Ronnie Silos 4 months ago

Thanks Nick. I used Magic Looks. They have a setting called warm and fuzzy. I used about 75% of the effect. I used compressor to convert my footage for Vimeo. I didn't do a 24p conversion. So it should be 30p. This is so much fun! I love learning stuff!

WHATTTT?!!! That was so awesome, Ronnie! That was great directing, too, Bravo! And what can I say about Ri... He's a chip off the old blocks :) Tell him, that's the best I've heard him sing, yet. He should be very proud of himself. I already know you guys are. And props to the little actress :) It all looked very natural. The video was wonderfully shot and you really did the camera justice. Thanks for sharing!!! xo, Ai
