5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

Are all six of those lensed with the DVX? You've got the pacing and visuals down for sure.

It's nice to see the extra effort to set up some tracking passes and static set ups mixed with more typical handheld / shakecam stuff too. There's a little too much of the latter in fast, hard music videos - so props to you guys for resisting that cliche.

Good color where there is supposed to be, good desaturation without overexposure where you intended it to be as well. If you ever need a shooter and package in North Carolina, I think we could play very nicely together.

Cheers,

They look really good, u have a knack for lighting these concert shots for video, whithout it looking like it was lit FOR the video, lol hard to explain, anyway, really proffesional stuff, could easily see any of this on mtv. IS any of it on mtv?
 
Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

Great job! Some of the best I've seen yet. (was your name inspired by Killswitch engage). Anyways, what settings did you use for the All That remains video? Any different lenses used or anything?
 
Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

No, actually we had the name before them. They are good dudes though. And a good band. We are from the same town BOSTON.
The All That Remains video was shot in F5 and at 1/120 shutter speed. No special lenses or anything. I lit it with my partner and our crew was a total of 2 people.
 
Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

I just flashed backed to my wee days as a skater (although the Death Metal sound is the worst thing to happen to rock since rap). Nice work and good to see some DVX Action being aired regulary on the networks.

I loved

The Unseen
"False Hope"

(Cool song as well)
 
Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

Roger is 44 and Vinnie is 49. They are good dudes man. We just shot their first ever Live DVD at CBGB's with 5 DVX 100s and all 24p at 1/120 shutter. The audio has been mixed into 5.1 surroundsound. It sounds sick as HELL!!!
 
Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

Awesome stuff.

Question: How do you handle focusing when you are filming on stage? Are you locking down for a specific distance, keepnig that distance, and just zooming in/out?
 
Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

I do it on the fly. index,thumb and ring finger
 
Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

nothing against old skool HC guys.
more respect for having integrity and playing HC all these years. unlike many of my friends who used to be HC bands but now totally yuppies or losers.
Roger gave me a free AF tshirt during One Voice tour(back in college) and I still have it somewhere. ;)

very nice videos.
would buy DVDs if they come out.

Sometimes I lock down but not offen. And all those are mock shows. The band was lipsyncing and the people in the crowd each had a job. SOme were to stand there and some were to mosh in a designated area. It was very controlled. But still crazy. and a lot of fun.
 
Re: 5 New Music videos Shot with DVX

Hey,

I know I pretty much have the eye for making music videos but I was wondering how you go about completing one?

Do you just get them to lipsync the song like 20 times and you get your 20 different angles each time they sing the song 20 songs? Then you get your coverage? How do you make sure everything is in sync because there is some lag time usually between (assuming they are listening to the song when you are shooting) hearing and then singing what they just heard.

How does it all work and what do the pros do? I'd like to know so I can advertise doing music videos. Do you just try to sync up quick eyecandy clips with the original song in post..making sure their lips match the song?

Any suggestions would be great!

Cheers,

Norm
