that's my music video for irish band called Headgear (www.myspace.com/headgear for more info).
shot with sony ex1 + letus extreme and 3 nikon lenses - 24mm / 50mm and 135mm. one day for the band and one day for locations.
edited in sony vegas pro with heavy use of MB :)
waiting for some feedback!
enjoy: http://www.vimeo.com/1116041

Cool! Lots of really nice shots, good use of lenses...the film grain on the running girl scenes was a bit too heavy for my taste (I like to bearly see it...just enough to know it's there).
Nice job on the edit too...moved along nicely.
All in all, GREAT job!

Good job, the more I see footage that has bee run through Magic Bullet the more I'm tempted to buy it.
Three questions:
1)In which way did you use Magic Bullet? ( I assume it's Magic Bullet Looks, right?)
2) How exactly did you light the room?
3) The footage of the band looks very "clean" - did you work that out in your camera settings or in post?
Thank you

thanks for all the comments! so happy that you like it.
the 'girly' stuff might be a little "over cc'ed", i agree.
but unfortunatelly i had to cover huge mistake - the night before i wasdoing some tests at my house, and as it was very dark, i switched to +18dB gain in the camera... and of course forgot to switch it back. so all the footage from the woods was shot with +18dB gain - you can imagine the noise in it... that was the only chance to cever it up, as i wouldn't have a chence to go back and reshot it again for at least next few weeks.
- yeah, used magic bullet looks - preset for 'band' part was customized (none of the standard presets didn't work out for me), and for 'girl' part there're 3 or 4 different MB presets added at the same time + aged film fx from video vegas.
- for lighting the band i had only 2 cheap chineese fluorescent lights from ebay ;)
- i think that the this cc preset makes it look so 'clean'.
and just one word of warning before you decide to use MB - it at least doubles rendering time - sometimes instead of 20min (without MB) you have to wait more than an hour.
