Music vid on d7000 at DVinfo.net

Just shot a music vid, for the band I'm in, on a d7000. Thought you guys might like to see. Used a 35 1.8 for almost all of it except the wide stuff shot on a tokina 12-24. It was all extremely low light for a lot of it esp. the black light scenes so I was practically wide open on the 35 which made focusing difficult esp, as it was mostly hand held with our makeshift steady cam. I thought the camera did really well considering the circumstances. First time shooting a music vid, learned a lot. Next time we'll be more methodical to make editing a little less tedious…

Very impressive Daniel. Now saved as a YouTube favourite. Video work and band were spot on. When are you touring Australia ?

Thanks Russ! No plans for Australia yet but were going to South Africa in Dec so maybe we can hop over seeing as we'll be in the same hemisphere…

Why not drop in. It's just next door. Seriously, if you ever do decide to tour, let me know if you need some contacts for venues.

Had a look at your portfolio. Great shots. Love the shot with the book and the world. Is that a self portrait or a shot of a bro ?

Thanks Russ, will definitely let you know if we find a way to make it out there. That pic actually started as a self portrait and then we put my brothers head on mine because his hair was better and he wrote the song haha.
