I had the chance to work with a great musician and friend Maneli Jamal to shoot a video of him performing his original song Cold Arrival.

He plays a very niche type of acoustic guitar called fingerstyle guitar ( Andy Mckee, Don Ross, Michael Hedges to name a few)

This was with the GH2, Flowmotion 2.0, Canon FD 24mm f2.8 and a wicked musician!

Let me know what your thoughts are on the grade and overall shoot!

And definitely check out Maneli on youtube he's incredible.

Promo was shot with GH2, sankor anamorphic and few nikkors, sedna hack that I won't let go. It was very simple atmospheric piece, with info written on objects, boats, cars, doors etc. Graded in Lightroom. 23hrs from idea to tv broadcast, guess I broke some record.

And one of the videos from the festival itself, done with 5 cameras, GH2, Canon 1Dc, 7d and 550d, and HMC150. Matching them was pain in the ass, but most important to me was the fact that 1Dc (though not in LOG mode and not 4K) and GH2 matched amazingly well. I like my GH2, and would rather have 25 GH2's than one 1Dc! :)) I had GH2 on the rig others around on monopods and handheld, multicam edited in premiere..

Thanks for checking it out!

We just finished shooting our Scary movie "The Killing Silence" in Morocco with GH2 of course.

we are looking for someone to score our movie, any thoughts where we can find someone?

our budget is non existing but we can pay $700, film credit and IMDB.

Compressors and limiters are specialized amplifiers used to reduce dynamic range — the span between the softest and loudest sounds. The use of compressors can make recordings and live mixes sound more polished by controlling maximum levels and maintaining higher average loudness. Additionally, many compressors — both hardware and software — will have a signature sound that can be used to inject wonderful coloration and tone into otherwise lifeless tracks. Compression can also be used to subtly massage a track to make it more natural sounding and intelligible without adding distortion, resulting in a song that's more “comfortable” to listen to. Alternately, over-compressing your music can really squeeze the life out of it. For those who are unfamiliar with compressors, having a good grasp of the basics will go a long way toward understanding how compression works, and confidently using it to your advantage.

Just to give you a bit of the process: I was asked just the day before and I was lucky that two of my students had tickets and would be in the audience. I gave the each a camera and I was backstage (We used Sony EX1/3, all handheld), but I also handed out a consumer handycam and my iPhone (with Filmic Pro) to people I didn't know in the audience to really get a documentary feel to it. And to play a little safe I had my GH2 (Flowmotion) and Tokina 11-16 on a tripod in the back. A friend of mine mixed in Pro Tools.

Of course it's not perfect, both coverage lacked sometimes and the LED lighting gave some nasty artifacts, but the raw feel of the footage and the energy of the band and the amazing old theatre we filmed in gave it all av very special feel. I edited in FCPX we're I also did my grading with Filmconvert (to enhance the raw feel and it did combat the harsh blues of the LED lighting and the grain hid a lot of the artifacts.) Not the best I've done technically , but considering the circumstances I'm happy with it and it's all about the song and helping my friend and her band to reach out.

"We will never lose our pride".

Eye of the Tiger feat. in Rocky • Survivor cover by Igor Presnyakov

have you got one?

I shot it on bmd / gh2 and a variety of lenses... Did all the editing and post. (not perfect, but I learned a lot!)

Sorry for the "youtube grain"; it´s out of my control.

A while back my short The Boss won a few awards and got a load of views, well here's my latest bit of work, a music promo for James Yuill shot in the desert of Tabernas in southern Spain. (Where a bunch of films have been shot; the good the bad and the ugly, lawrence of arabia and mad max 3 amongst them).

We used a few choice lenses, mostly the Voigtlander 25mm f0.95, Canon FD 85mm 1.8 and a random CCTV lens (26mm f1.4 I think), coupled with one of the Sanity hacks (I think version 5).

Had lots of comments about the look, few people (and experienced people!) mistaking it for Red footage, so we got something right!

Thanks again to this site for the hack and knowledgable advice which helps indie filmmakers out no end . . .

The camera somehow got in an interlaced mode for some of these clips, that or I had some hack settings wrong. I almost threw all these clips out, but I'm glad I didn't. I think it actually adds to the look and feel of the video in a strange way.

As always, I love all feedback!

Music Video made with GH2 and 7D. 0 Budget, just lot of work. Youtube do not make justise to picture quality. Boht cams hold werry well heavy post procesing. Hope you like it, and pleas comment (if you like). GH2 was hacked with Driftwood settings.

This is a link to the facebook page - I can't find out where the original source video is so you'll have to visit the page to see this. Well worth it, though, for anyone considering doing video of performance, just for some ideas.

While you can do an imaginative video using all sorts of locations and parallel stories, I think it's a challenge to do an interesting video of performers which just concentrates on them throughout. I really like what they've done here and would be interested in seeing any other examples of video which is confined to the one location.

filmed with hacked gh2 and 550d with fisheye lens.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a hack that would work best in a live music setting with constant changing lights and what not?

I've seen this successfully sold for as much as $6,000 on eBay recently. This one is selling for $2,200 because having that much within the next week would be a lot more helpful to the project than two times that in 30 days. :)

The Roland TB-303 analog synthesizer. It is one of the five most iconic electronic instruments produced and has been featured by some of the top artists in electronica and hip-hop since the 1990s. Pick up or shipping from L.A. (and as you can see, the original packaging is included, right down to the plastic and styrofoam).

The instrument has been endlessly sampled and imitated (both in hardware clones and software instruments). Just the cloned versions alone can sell for around 1000 Euros.

But this is a vintage original, bought the within a year of the original release in the 1980s and used less than 20 times since it is not a natural fit for the artist.

Comes with original box, packing materials, manual, quick reference and even the original signature vinyl carrying bag. I turned it on today to try it out and it controls properly and has the characteristic vibe that the instrument is known for.

These synths have appreciated ever since they were rediscovered and artists around here have sold theirs for as much as $6,000.

Will provide SN and serial # if anyone wants.

It's in swedish, so don't worry if you don't understand the lyrics. The chorus means, basically: "but If you stay I stay" Shot with lomo 28mm and flektogon 35 (macro).. Was it Orion v4b? I think so.
