Autumn Tragedy music video

23 Sept 2008

It’s cut and ready to see – here’s a link to the music video. I’ll also post it on my resume page in the coming days. Turned out very nice. I’ll likely still add a few more touches to the color correction. Enjoy.

Just finished a music video for the band Autumn Tragedy and their song, “Ignis Fatuus”. Shot in a warehouse space in Corona. The project was directed by Jonathan Bowen with whom I also shot the music video for the band Winded earlier this year.

The following are frame-grabs from the shoot. I’ve been playing with some looks, so while they’ve been affected, it isn’t the final look of the project. A million thanks to the crew for all their help today! Can’t wait till this project is edited and we can go to grading. It’s gonna look good!!

Who says the production community isn’t making an effort to go green.

Here are some project specs:

We shot using two Panasonic HVX200 cameras with my “reversal” settings.

Generally, we shot dancing around a ƒ2.5 (~40fc), 1/120 (72°) shutter and +6dB gain.

We shot using tungsten lights, but we did have (unexpectedly) two skylight windows at one end of the room. Oddly enough the room had a green cast which worked well for the look I’m placing on top of the raw footage which is more brown. Fortunately, as you can see in the frame-grabs, we still see a bit of green in the shot which is good because I do like it. Just about every shot is lit from a backlight or some rear three-quarter light from a gaggle of 1K and 650w Fresnel lights and surprisingly for me, no diffusion.
