Big Budgeted Music Videos on Canon's HV20

Looking good, but am a little confused storywise. Heartstop - Don't Wake Me Up ... the band members acutally don't look like they would hang out with such girls.
 
lol... in truth they do..those extras we''re all family and friends ...we had everybody come out and help us...thats how low budget it was
 
Wow, the heartstop video was awesome.

Really nice footage, what equipment did you use besides the HV20?

um the hv20, redrock m2, zoom lenses, alot of lights balanced for indoor, homemade track dolly, tripods, final cut pro, extras, time and alotta heart =)
 
The video was done very well. The only criticisms I have for it was that it was blurry at times, the white background on the band kinda bored me and didn't keep my attention visually, the lyrics weren't the greatest, and you needed to show more of the hot blonde chick. Overall, it looked like professional quality work. Good job.

awesome thank you for the response and critique...are you a film maker also?
 
I produce a television show for Cal State San Bernardino and have done wedding videography for over a decade. So yes, I've been behind a camera for some time. ;-)
 
Wow! Pro stuff indeed. you covered all the bases- shooting/editing/audio very nicely. Gr8 to enjoy some decent content too . Have you posted production details?
 
The HeartStop - Don't Wake Me Up video I thought looked really close to professional, great job.

There were a couple of things I noticed:
- I know someone else mentioned it, but that blonde girl was just not the kind of girl you see in music videos (unless it's a rapper), for this kind of video I think a more 'plain beautiful' girl, without much makeup on, is more normal. Not a huge problem though.
- Something about the editing I would've done different, when the other band members are being picked up by girls too, at the end of the video, I would've cut to images of them in the 'band footage' just beforehand, so we knew who they were.

Those are my only criticisms story-wise, technically it looked great. Just one observation there too…
- There were background shadows. There's only one *really* amateur looking shot in that video and that's when the girl and lead singer are standing by the bar – the shadows are too noticeable. To a slightly lesser extent you see the same thing in the white room as well. I'm sure you know how to fix that though.
