Hi Everyone,

This is a single-camera video I shot and edited for a local band here in Boston on Monday 2/8. It was a very last minute camera shoot. Did it on a whim and am happy with the results.

I shot with Canon 7D, Tamron 17-55mm 2.8, Super-Flat profile, 3200 ISO, and no-color correction (yet).

I'll probably try again because I know some of the red lights really blow out some of the skin tones. The song is named "Love Part 2" so I had a deadline of yesterday to meet. So I gave up on the grading after a while to make sure it debuted on Valentine's Day.

Unfortunately, I discovered a dead pixel during this shoot. Very unhappy about it, and I'm not sure what I'm gunna do. I tried the manual sensor cleaning trick and it helped, but didn't completely fix it. Very disappointed that I might have to send it in and wait 6 weeks to get it back.

Ya, singing drummer. There is a front man too, but lately the drummer has been singing a bunch of their songs.

Here's another one the drummer sings... their cover of Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. No editing, just one shot.



Oh, I was able to get rid of the dead/hot pixel by doing a manual sensor cleaning over and over, with and without the lens on and at different ISO levels. Almost gave up and was gunna send it back, but finally it went away.
