Nobody will say that ? OK i will , its too shallow.Milky bokeh.But quite ok.Try to stop down on lens if you can.

There may have been a couple of spots where DOF was a bit too shallow but I think for the most part, the use of the shallow DOF helped set the mood of this video...artistic use of DOF, IMO.

I'm gussing RR1? I think the Magic Bullet grading may have added to the hazy bokeh.

Overall, I think it is a nice piece. Is that an original song?

Too shallow ?
- Nonsense it looks great and totally appropriate. Lovely and expressive.

Thank you! It was RR2, it's getting easier to switch them! haha. But I only added a edge blur to two of the shots which would be at
0:40 and 0:50

and yes, it is an original work. I go to school with them and decided to to help them get their song out there.

the very shallow depth of field was intentional in the shot where she is walking toward the camera, i used it a fair amount in this video, but only to create that look the style i was going for. the point was the depth of field was used to bring out the specific emotions with that girl that walks toward the camera, also the weather complimented the creamy bokeh..and it just looks....:love4:


I don't know if that justifies it, but it does from my point of view. It was just a fun RUN N' GUN one day shoot and edit.

Thanks man! i was a lot of fun. It was my first time working with a real band, i'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

Well tell your school friends that it's a great song! I especially enjoy the harmonies.
