Hey guys,

Here is a promo I've just completed for a Fashion Show sponsored by a local newspaper (Louisville Eccentric Observer - LEO Weekly). All shots were done with an A1 and using a monopod as a stabilizer.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Tony

Right at 16 seconds I thought you replaced the actor with a mannequin. I've never seen such dead eyes in a video before. That would be cool in a certain context.

Here are some of the recent spots I've done. They aren't great, but I'm learning as I go. The first is one for the company I work for and was done entirely in Motion 3. The second is for an audio/video component store and was edited edited in FCP, chroma keyed in Color and motion mattes and motion tracking was done in Motion 3.

I have my own issues with these spots, but I would like to hear from others on ways I could improve these and future spots.

The mood is good. Definitely seems like a background piece for something else (credits, compositing). The movement of the lens flare could use some work to help make it more cohesive to the moving image, but other than that it's nice.

Here's a music video...

http://www.vimeo.com/835920

...created for my wife for an internet singing competition. If you like Rascal Flatts, you'll love this! It was a great project that really put my XH-A1 though its paces (lots of steadicams shots). Make sure the 'HD' button is active on the video at Vimeo -- looks WAY better than the standard def version.

If you like her perfomance, go give her a vote as well! :-)

BTW -- the compression quality is horrible on the competition site, that's why I put it up on Vimeo for others to see (who have a more critical eye :-). Check out the Vimeo link first!

Ken Civian · April 2nd, 2008, 04:37 PM

I'm not getting audio on the Vimeo site and it looks like you have a bad link for the other one.

James Binder · April 2nd, 2008, 05:24 PM

Ken --

I just fixed the competition site link above -- should work now. You can see the video there, but the quality is VERY poor -- that's why I included the Vimeo link.

Not sure what the problem is with the Vimeo link (I can't get the audio either!) -- It's been fine for the last few days. Looking into it now...

I may have to reupload the Hd Vimeo version.

Thanks

Hi James,

Great stuff, really like the clean, simple approach - it belies your great camera work.

Still no audio though!

BTW - what were your encoding settings? I'm having real trouble outputting any of my work at anything like half-decent quality.

Sean

**UPDATE**

Just watched the video on the Brickfish site - really enjoyed it...

I might have been tempted to squeeze a lens flare in somewhere, but that's just me - and I might also have gone for a couple more moody close ups of her not singing...but that's a question of style and taste.

Again, I really like the clean approach - nothing over-produced or complex - just shot really, really well. Well done! S

I had no audio on your vimeo, I found the vimeo volume control, it was turned all the way down. turned it up and it sounded great :)
