New Music Video

[Jay Rodriguez]

Working on this new R&B video. The budget was a cool zero dollars and I did this yesterday by myself. Interior shots were with one 240w bulb and well, that's just about all of the equipment I used, lol.

Next Sunday we're shooting scenes with a female so we'll have a little story line incorporated in it.

Thanks,
Jay

What 35mm adapter did you use in conjunction with the HPX? (Looks to me like the Letus Extreme).

I think it looks good,look like a 50mm lens
the quality is real hot,nice look.

Okay, I know for some of you guys filmmaking is a labour of love, but don't you think it's a bit crazy to do HD videos for nothing? In my experience, people that get something for free appreciate it less too.

Not sure what kind of response your looking for with your question....

I was only reacting to your zero budget remark. I guess if you own a lot of equipment you can make a great video with a zero budget, but I don't personally think I could do that....an average budget for a music video is $600 to $800 for me, and that is only in gear hiring expenses.

Jay... beautiful work! Love the look & feel, I think you really captured the artists soul.
If I was pressed to pick something that might bug me, it would be all the focus pulls....but that's only if pressed!

Really a beautiful job.

I would agree.... although I like the one at the end and then that downward tilt.

Colors/locations/angles are great. I'm an not sure if im digging the randomness of throwing it out of focus then back in.

Hey thanks guys! This was the first time in a loooong time that I used an adapter on a shoot so I was really excited about the look that it provided so pulling the focus in and out was just fun for me to do lol. I did a shoot yesterday with it and finished the rough edit today. I shot it using the same style (pulling focus in and out) and I now feel like I got it out of my system because this time around, the footage is annoying me a bit.

Thanks for your input though.
