BILL!! You’re on the iTunes front page at the top! Congratulations!
I am sure you have been asked this 1,00000000000000000000 times….but do you only use one camera? And if so how do you get mutiple angles on the same song? love your stuff Bill….and I don’t care what you say my hair is smoking hot…..
No, I shoot with 2 cameras most of the time–at least with the live music stuff. Usually with the help of one of my good friends Kopper or Bowls. This particular shoot Bowls was camera b in the balcony and I was up close and personal with he wide angle lens. But a lot of the past shows I was the camera in the back and Bowls or Kopper is in the front.
I thought so, I just love your angles and shot selections always spot on in capturing the “feel” of a show…..like you need me to tell you that
Heh bill, Love the new intro. Short sweet and simple. It makes all the difference in the world. You give it an hier of authenticity and pesonality. Without your intro it’s just another band on a stage. These little quips about who, what why where, like “formerly of…” and “I shot a video for them a couple years back…” they add depth and meaning…. no more random band.
Besides, I really like this band.
Glad someone else asked because I was just scratching my head on the camera angles, figured you must have shot with 4 different cameras. It’s amazing what you can do with two cameras and great editing.
One other question, do you record the music live or go back and overdub it?
I can’t wait until there’s a step up in resolution, like say 320 or 360×480. I think it’ll make a huge difference with your vids because there’s so much visual information. I can only imagine the bandwidth requirements for these they definitely aren’t your typical talking heads fare… all that motion, zooming, and panning has got to requires some serious throughput.
Peace,
-Mike
P.S. as always looking out for those documentaries I love so much.
The sound on this particular clip was a mix of the two cameras on board mics and a recording made from the sound board. So really it’s 6 tracks mixed down to 2.
Thanks for the feedback Michael.
