Wanted to share my first purpose created music video done for the band Underground 66.

http://www.vimeo.com/1091250

Shot with the XHA1 and using the Letus Extreme/Nikon lenses as well as the WD-H72 wide angle adapter. Everything was shot either on my DIY dolly or on my Glidecam4000/Smoothshooter stabalizer.

No custom presets used. All colour grading was done in post with correctors and Magic Bullet in Vegas Pro 8.

It's a pretty straightforward shoot with no particular storeline content added, although we are discussing that as a possibility. The location is at the "Harb" tavern in Owen Sound and gratefully time for the shoot was donated by the owner. It took about 8 hours from arriving to finishing up the day of shooting. The band really pulled through doing 14 complete takes of the song to capture various angles and shots. It was hot under all the stage lighting and these guys really tried hard to give an energetic performance every time.

I know there are some issues with the video....botched lighting, cotinuity but I'm happy as a pig in #*^$ about the overall piece.

Hope people enjoy the music and the video....

All the best,
James Hooey
 
I liked it. I had to watch it with the volume down and couldn't finish the entire thing, because I'm at work, but it looked pretty good. I really liked the opening. I did see one shot though where the camera crossed in front of the singer on stage and blocked the light and you could (or we filmmakers) could tell and see the shadow of the camera across the guy's face. Other than that, very nicely done.
 
I want to say I like it, and I do like it, but there's something wrong with it. It too clean, too smooth. The music and the performance require a bit faster pace and more flash.

Good luck with your shoots. Always have fun.
