This is fckn great. Very valuable help. Thank you.
Thanks for the great comment!
Great job! Thanks for this vid! But... where do I find the final video you did for Jadea Kelly?
Thank you for the lovely comment! She hasn’t released it yet, but will be soon. I’ll make sure to update the description when she does. In the meantime, you can visit her RUclips channel - where there is one video out already made during the same shoot with her and her guitarist (we did two songs that day).
Nice to see some bluegrass friends in the video!
I do this style of video, but as a full one person show including audio, and outdoors wherever possible in places without power. Wide masters and singles coverage, with gimbal.
I don’t have them airband, they play every time. A little extra work to sync but not a problem.
One lesson: do NOT use digital stabilization in camera: at least on my Canon R8 the stab syncs with the musicians bobbing with the beat!
Thanks for the great insight into your process! You're a brave soul for going with a new recording for each take. I've not been so lucky in the past as tempos etc can change. I'm impressed that you've made it work.
Awesome video! I have 2 questions for you. First, when you do the solo shots are you playing back the master track for them to listen to and play with or are they simply playing the same song over again by themselves?
Any recommendations on filming a full symphony? They will have the stage lighting for typical concerts but I'm not sure if I will/can adjust for every person being recorded in a timely manner. I am a one man band trying to capture as much as possible.
Thanks for the great comment & question. First question - yes, I have them "air band" back to the master recording. The goal here is to be as exact as possible. If they just play a new take, even subtle tempo or pronunciation changes will make it difficult to cut seamlessly. Even airbanding back to the master isn't fool proof, but it's as close as I've been able to get.
In respect to recording an orchestra, the same generally applies - but the benefit of an orchestra is a conductor who knows the tempo exactly. Classical music is one of remarkable precision, and even the posture of the players is usually very specific - so I would be surprised if they suddenly performed the same song differently unless the conductor/musical director decided to change things up. I've also seen orchestral recordings with smaller hidden cameras - even things like 360 cameras or GoPros doing a great job of getting you the coverage you need on a large swath of musicians. Generally speaking you should know the musical piece well - know where the accents, the solos, the action from the conductor, etc all are in the composition. That should spark your imagination of who should be on screen and when. This can help you to minimize over shooting and just get the shots you know you will need to make the edit come to life. Good luck!
SUPER helpful!! Thank you so much!!
Very interesting, but . . . I shoot band videos really live; with one camera; from the floor; band on stage; in the club; with an audience. This is a fun hobby for me, but presents a whole different set of challenges since I seldom have control over anything. 🎶👍🤓
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I'm always impressed by those who work trenches of live music shooting!
@vistek this post was helpful. I keep on learning.
Thank you Robin!
Interesting. I am not well-versed in music performances, but is it always a requirement to capture the master take of the audio and video at the same time? It seems like it might be less stressful for everyone involved to shoot the video after the musicians have recorded a take they are happy with (and without a videographer in the middle).
Thank you for the great comment! It's not always required, but in my personal experience it saves a lot of headaches. I've done versions where the band performs every time, but most often I'll have sync issues between takes. Unless they're playing to a click track, the tempo and chord changes don't always line up. This method is the most fool proof of all of them, in my experience.
@@vistek Thank you for your insights! I thought maybe a click track might be easier, but I understand now.
could you compare GH6 vs GH7 vs S1Vlogto rec709 who has better colors? Everyone just says that GH6 has the most beautiful skin tones. And I can't understand the benefit of RAW video if the dynamic range of Nikon and other cameras except Alexa drops in contrast to Log profiles. Then it is not clear whether it is worth shooting staged films in RAW when for films the LOG profile is enough for a wider dynamic range. The choice is simple: S1 Vlog or GH7RAW?
This is beyond of the scope of this video... or any video really. Colour science is now in the domain of personal preference and also production expectations. Perhaps you may want to watch our video "Zen and the Art of Log & Raw Exposure." I suspect that may answer many of your questions.
