Hope you enjoy it!

hard back light, soft key, on camera light... looks good. good composition.

Great video! Looked really good. Simple yet effective. I liked the tune as well. Jake, since you are in New York City, can I add a shameless plug for the band BennyGirl (http://www.bennygirl.com). My nephew, Matthew Milton is their bass guitarist. They are supposedly close to getting a record deal. I will send them your name if they need a music video.

regards,

Looked very nice!

Thanks guys! Greg, sure, please feel free to drop my name. I appreciate that! My e-mail is on my website which is linked to my profile. I'll check out your Nephews band...

Thanks!

I'm dirty for Jacob Hensberry !

Very cool song... and very good work on the video.

Simple, but very effective in creating emotions...

Nice work.

Thanks Brent! Much appreciated. We all worked pretty hard on it so its great to hear that people like it. Thanks!

Jake,

Was wondering what camera package you shot this with.

-gb-

George Su, who comented above, was th DP. It was the DVX 100a, but he has some crazy settings he uses based on a great deal of experience using that camera. We primarily used one omni light and a diva light and a smoke machine that we used to get some diffusion and ambience in the light.

George, care to give Greg some details?

Thanks Jake. I wasn't looking for a lot of details, just what camera shot the footage.

-gb-

we shot on toilet paper. TeePeeCam 3000!

So that's your secret? Damn, I always wondered what you were doing when you spent all that time tweeking the settings and now it all makes sense! I just looked it up in users manual and low and behold it says it right there, "teepee cam 3000 settings rule dude!"

So, how many minutes of shooting can you get on a standard roll of toilet paper. Any special handling requirements when loading/unloading the camera?

Ok, this is going downhill fast, we better get back on topic.

-gb-

Okay George, now that we've succsessfully gotten totally silly, would you please grace us with your infinate knowlage of DVX100a camera settings?

Jake,

Really nice... the feel of the video matched the song very well. The pacing was nice, the shots were nice, everything worked. I don't have much constructive to say because I just got lost in watching it :). The great thing is that it was actually really few setups, but didn't feel that way.

The only thing that I wanted was something that established the singer behind the drum kit. It took me a while to figure out that he was playing the drums and that confused me a little bit. I also, by the end, found myself wanting one or two moving shots - dolly, pan, zoom, something.

Anyway, keep it up and keep posting.

just trying to ease the tension, baby...

i don't think GB wants to know the settings, but sure i'll divulge anyway:

all the same stuff dvfilm.com says to use. oh except master ped was -10, i think i can't remember.

You always ease my tension Georgey Worgey! Totaliment Gai! Thanks for revealing your super secret ninja camera settings.

Barry, thats the nicest thing anyone has said about it yet and I really really appreciate it!

Yeah, I know what you mean, belive me. It was a small room, with a crowd of people no less, and I would have liked to move around more too. There are 3 dolly shots in there of the couples though if you look closesly, but those are the only ones. Such is life in low-budget music video land.

Thanks again!

I liked that one a lot more than the GFJD video. Song is better too, good job....
