Music Video: "TOUCHY FEELY" by Jori King and BizoH (a $200 dollar budget)

[griplimited]

Hey all,

Our first music video with lots of notes taken from this very forum. Originally planned with two 7D, turned out to be one 7D and a rental 5DmkII an hour before the shoot. Mine had fried and wouldn't turn on during setup possibly from a hot signal. Our budget was simple, $200 for equipment and we did pro-bono work in filming and both editing. We had an empty one-day rental space in a dark alley in West Hollywood, which we had to make to look like a club scene. This is the result...

Just wanted to provide a bit of the BTS. We arrived on location at about 6am and didn't finish ti after midnight, 18 hours of work!

What we rented:
- 5DMKII with Canon 17-40mm F4L
- 2 KinoFlo with Gels
- ProAim Jib
- Marshall Monitor (had to use Analog)

What we owned
- 2 7D with Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 (one fried, hence 5d rental)
- Weifeng/Fancier 717a fluid head with sticks
- Glidecam Pro4000, no vest (now sold and just ordered HD4000)
- LCD viewfinder

still prepping and getting things organized, we could of filmed in a garage and we still would of made a best attempt.

after a bit of decor and lighting adjustments

The artist provided the black backdrop which they wanted to use entirely and refused to use any of the natural environment.
Thanks again guys and I welcome constructive criticism as we have a lot to learn still.

Does not look believable. Also needed more light, a lot more light. Also the song is not very good either. Overall I would say descent project, but the song, location, visuals & so much just seems like a d list movie you watch on tv like around 3 in the morning. Also the lighting was very flat and bad. You could have easily rented an entire light kit for like a $100 and done a better job. Look at this excellent video so you can get ideas for the future
