This video helped me so much. I am starting out in independent filmmaking and filming a few live sessions for local musicians social media pages soon and this is one of the most informative videos I've watched. Thank you!
Great advice. I want to do a shoot of my music, singer songwriter original songs. I have 3 nikon d3200,d3100 and zoom h6 and several mics. Me on acoustic guitar vocals and another guy on the cajon.Wish me luck.
Thanks for the overview. Perhaps explain how you did the color temperature and tint adjustments particularly your use of the scopes. Matching cameras can be a challenge for many of us.
Thank you, we started a new channel called Fischtank Sessions. We are getting better and better at filming 3 camera live performances in my studio. Its always awesome to see how other people work. Keep it up buddy :)
Watched the actual music video. The A7siii footage looks substantially better than the other 2. I actually think the A7sii footage looks better than the EOS R. But you did a nice job blending them together. After getting the Siii and playing with it more I'm really starting to notice the weird ways the 8 bit color of the previous cameras fell apart in certain situations.
Hi, Thanks for the short, sweet and to the point video. Really interesting. In regards to colour matching multiple cameras. Did you do any shots with a white card and a colour board with each camera to help with the colour grading in post? I have found this to be really helpful to get the match to about 90% quickly followed with minimal tweaks to get it to best match. Thanks
With the hand held shots you did, how did you edit these into the 2 static camera timelines? As in, how did you match the footage at the right time frames if the hand held camera wasn’t continuously recording?
a clapper board or a simple clap seems to be state of the art. It sounds like there is a massive opportunity for a digital mixer that could also handle 3-5 camera feeds. All recordings could be sent to a DAW alreafy synced. It would make things so easy.
Hi! Great tutorial and the final work is amazing. I am really interested how you capture/record the audio being played. Is the sound track recorded by the different cameras and then synced with the audio from the mixer? Or do you record directly from the mixer to the cameras mic. Inputs? Thank for your time,
I did a few test shots to check where I could go without being in the slider angle before I started. I stayed with handheld so I could quickly change subjects and recompose 👍
@@HarvVideoAudioStuff Did you do multiple takes or just the single live one? I assume they could have gone back and lip synced to playback and you could have grabbed a few other angles?
Hi Harv, so I love your stuff and especially your videos on S-Log 2 Exposure helped me a ton. This video was pretty insightful so thanks for uploading it, I do have one recommendation to make to you though (as its a pet peeve of mine that I see on RUclips ALL the time). You show in this video how you added a letterbox effect to get that 'widescreen look', but this is the totally wrong way to go about widescreen video. Whenever you're delivering in widescreen you should be setting the project canvas resolution to a custom size, based on the aspect ratio and resolution you want. As an example if you are delivering in 4K but want the classic widescreen aspect ratio of 2:35:1, then the resolution should be 3840x1634. You should never ever just edit in a standard 16:9 project timeline and add a letterbox. The reason for this are twofold; firstly it just wastes storage space since you're outputting two black bars of blank dark pixels into your final file (which also can end up with noise artifacts on certain publishing sites). But secondly and more importantly, if someone who actually has a widescreen display tries to view your content (wether it be a monitor, projector or even mobile phone) then they won't even be able to benefit from the content being 'widescreen' since its actually just a 16:9 video with artificial black bars at the top and bottom. Hope this helps :)
@@HarvVideoAudioStuff Not a problem my man, I was doing it wrong myself for the longest time then a couple years ago someone pointed it out to me and now whenever I see it I've just gotta pass it on. Hope you're well given the recent downturn in the British weather (I'm North East haha)
Nice, my band tries to do something similar - we're in a studio of a friend right now. I'm still brainstorming how to set up right, especially since we're 4 people and there is a pillar in the middle of us 4. What did you use for additional lights?
Enjoy guys, I hope you find this helpful :)
do you think mic stands are needed fir "performance style" videos like this. but that are synced to studio playback
Loved that overhead diagram that helped me loads thank you!
This is really informative and great stuff. That overhead diagram is of huge help! Thanks tons!
You are so kind, Sir, to explain break through the entire BTS of band shoot. Thanks a lot!
So glad I could help 👍🏻

So glad it was helpful 👍🏻
Hi Harv! I was thinking of creating some music videos later on in the year in London, are your services available for hire?
Excellent, watching from Nigeria
super, super helpful. thank you so much!
definitely gona use this info, thanks Harv!
very helpful and practical , I wish you'd explain audio setup too

Many thanks, I may do a separate video on this. It would have been a bit long if I'd tried to cram it in this video 👍

Amazing explanation!!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Enjoyed it 👍🏻
Thanks for this! I’m checking this out so I can sort out camera placement for playing live. It’s all gonna be static cameras

awesome tutorial 😍
Awesome video, brah. I’ve learned so much since subscribing to your channel! Keep up the amazing work and wear tighter trousers 😉
😂
Could you elaborate what visual cue you were looking to tweak towards in the skin tone? How do you know you have it right?
Nice one, thanks! :)

That was very useful! Do you have tips on making the workflow smoother when it comes to syncing the audio?
a clapper board or a simple clap seems to be state of the art. It sounds like there is a massive opportunity for a digital mixer that could also handle 3-5 camera feeds. All recordings could be sent to a DAW alreafy synced. It would make things so easy.
I think we need a bassist for that band
do you have an fx3😊

That's what I was wondering too. ty
Me too!
do you think mic stands are needed fir "performance style" videos that are synced to studio playback?
Definitely not, I don’t think most people would notice their absence but essential for this one as we recorded every take 👍🏻
I have thissss little problem that the drummer is the singer too. FML, I can't find the right angle to record this. Any Ideas? (:
im no proffesional but ive seen cameras mounted in or close to the drum set just above where the cymbal would be
I’m interested in how you managed to stay out of the way of the slider cam when shooting with the hand held (or did you use a gimbal for the EOS R?)
I did a few test shots to check where I could go without being in the slider angle before I started. I stayed with handheld so I could quickly change subjects and recompose 👍
@@HarvVideoAudioStuff Did you do multiple takes or just the single live one? I assume they could have gone back and lip synced to playback and you could have grabbed a few other angles?
It was just a single take, we did each track three times and chose the best one
Thank u for vid. Approximately how much would a average, reputable videographer charge for the service u described?
Cool Vlog, How did you record the audio? was it straingt into cameras or recording devise? and how did you sync audio to video?? Thanks..
so did you use a computer with Ableton and mixer that were both connected to the instruments and the computer?
Yes indeed, it was filmed at a recording studio which made things sooo much easier. I think the engineer uses Reaper for his recording software 👍🏻
One very interesting question would be how you editet the video footage to the footage the Audio guy recorded:)
Yes indeed, luckily uncle Harv’s got you covered 😄 here’s my video about exactly that ruclips.net/video/_bzXNqg-axw/видео.html
What slider do u recommend that mice don’t pick up the sound?
I like the rhino gear, mind you their pricing has gone a little crazy lately!

Which gears did you use to take the audio?
A fourth cámara reverse shot from drumer to vocals would had fill all the gaps

which software are using
FCPX
You’re a fucking god for this video man❤️ I’ve been trying to do something like this with my band. Hopefully I can now. Haha
