Promo shot on FS100

Ok, here is a little promo I made for a local non profit dance studio.
Typical low budget spot where you get a couple hours to come into
the studio and shoot, and then a couple hours with the performers on
stage. PLENTY of mistakes, including the infamous 'green ghost' in
a couple shots (this was all shot run and gun so no external monitor and
I didn't even see the green ghost while shooting!). But still....that little camera
can put out some nice looking stuff when you get the lighting right (or get lucky).
The clients really liked it....I guess they aren't used to getting video at all so
they didn't spot the screw ups.

I know you do proper work, but couldn't you have brought a simple bat. LED panel for the interview shots? They seem pretty dark even for run & gun? But yeah, it's still a great camera and people are still asking to rent mine so I'm a happy camper hehe.
 
I actually lit the interviews with a Rifa 55 softbox (and reflector). Then, I did some 'creative'
grading....and I thought it actually looked pretty decent graded this way on my HD monitor,
but OMG on Vimeo it looks a lot different. I REALLY have to figure out that gamma bug in FCP
if I am going to be posting things online. Or I could just be delusional and REALLY, REALLY
suck at any sort of grading at all.
