Ruth Brown Footage

Re: Ruth Brown Footage

It's lit well... but it's biggest downfall is the audio. Bring her vox up and add some more emotion to the clip and you'll be in business.
 
Re: Ruth Brown Footage

Re: Ruth Brown Footage

excellent exposure and depth of field. also find it a bit teasing...;-)
 
Re: Ruth Brown Footage

The producer didn't want 24p cause he was shooting with a pd150 so this was a compromise.

I just put a bit of the clip up to sample the footage. I had no control over the audio..just ambient from the on camera mic. Just wanted peolple to see what it looked like.

Wow -- here's a little aside --

I just worked with a producer shooting for a documentary about Ruth Brown -- she's from our area (Portsmouth VA) and performed last week at a historical theater in Norfolk.

Anyway -- I think we might have been working with the same producer, Don Ogden (based outta LA) -- cuz he brought along his own pd150 that he's been using -- and wanted us to use ours to match his.  We ended up shooting the performance with a couple of pd150's and a couple of JVC dv500's. I'll shoot some b-roll footage for him with my personal DVX.

small world -- and yes the woman can still sing -- after all Atlantic Records is known as the house that Ruth built -- and Ray Charles was Ruth's first pianist. cool !

I agree wtf ? pd150 ? I wish he would've had the $$ to rent out our HD camera ... but it don't matta - content is king.

I haven't shoot in 30p with my dvx yet but after seeing this footage I think I'm gonna do it more often.
love the colors and cadence even in 30p looks filmic
