Broken Record

November 25, 2017

Halloween weekend, I shot Broken Record and PunchCard at WinstonsOB.  I got the audio tracks from soundguy Kyle, and handed them off to Dan Bonn so he could work his magic.

There was a technical difficulty (it happens when you do live recording) and the tracks for Broken Record only had the first song.  Bummer.

Anyway, Dan got me the final mix for Broken Record, so here’s the final video:

Behind The Scenes At tsLeone Video Shoot

November 22, 2017

This past Sunday, I was shooting some BTS (Behind the Scenes) at a video shoot for tsLeone.  Who’s that, you ask?  That’s Tony Silipigno’s (ex-12Cent) new project.

It was shot at RentCine in Kearny Mesa.  Great facility, and great people.

I can’t say much until the video actually comes out, Tony is being very hush-hush about tsLeone until he has everything ready for the big reveal.  Here’s some pics:

Company Man

November 12, 2017

The standalone video for “Company Man” by Tony Silipigno, from the PB Cantina Oct 16 show, is live.  Whenever I make a full convert video, I always take a few songs and make standalone videos for them.  Some people see a running time of 30 min or an hour, and just say “nope!”  So, a single song can sometimes be more appealing.

PB Cantina Open Mic

November 10, 2017

I’d had my new GH5 for a few days, so I was itching to go shoot something.  My friends Pete, Tony, Dan, and Derek we playing the Open Mic night at PB Cantina, so I headed down there.  I was just intending to try a few settings, see how the camera handled the stage lights, etc.

Well, I ended up recording most of the night.  Then, I found out the sound guy, Jeremy, records all the Open Mic nights.  So, he gave the tracks to Dan Bonn, who mixed and mastered them. Dan gave the mixes to me, and now I have pristine audio to go with my camera “test”.

EDIT: I should add, this is the first video I edited in DaVinci Resolve (which I like a lot), and also the first video I did color grading on.  I think it looks great for a first try.

So, here’s the video:

And here’s Krystal Dyer’s complete painting:

Midnight Track from Halloween at Winstons

November 10, 2017

I shot some footage of Midnight Track at Winstons on October 28, 2017.  When I got home I edited it a bit, and here it is:

Now, keep in mind, I had several drinks at Winstons while I was there, and a few more when I went to dinner afterward, so this may not be my best work ever.  🙂  The audio is on camera, and the whole thing was kinda spur of the moment, unplanned.

 

Enjoy.

Back Catalog

November 8, 2017

Here’s 4 live concert movies from before I got the GH5.  These were shot with what I had at the time.  The first two, from November 2016, were shot on a Canon HV20 (a 2007 era DV tape HD camcorder) and a 2008 Creative Vado that only does 720p.  There are some iPhone 5s shots from the side of the stage in there, as well.

The two from March 2017 were also shot with the Vado and the HV20, but the handheld shots were done with a new Canon Vixia HF R700 camcorder.  That’s a tiny little thing that costs less than $200, and it does a decent job for the price.

These were edited with HitFilm which I learned to use on the November shows.

Prior to this era, I shot and edited several shows in 2005-2009, using the HV20 and even older consumer camcorders.  Those I edited in FCP (Pre-X).  Maybe I’ll dig those out and post them someday.

Here are the older shows in chronological order:
