I really love Amanda Palmer's Bed Song. It's kind of a haunting song and a beautifully executed video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sW4dwXXX7Q

Thanks! I've already got at least two more videos in the works with a couple of other bands, including my absolute favorite band and another band that the drummer in this video is in. Luckily my co-producer knows all these guys and has no problem just being like, "We're gonna do a video for...

Thanks! And excuse my ignorance, but what are you referring to with "the camera movement rule"?

I just used an audio clip in a music video from an old TV show that, according to everything I've found, is in the public domain. I'm not worried about using it. Could someone decide to sue me over it? Sure. But anyone can sue anyone over anything.

Thank you guys both for your feedback! The next video (we're already planning it) is going to be way more involved. We're going to return to the radar base and film at the lower base, as well as in a cave at an abandoned copper mine (gotta secure permission on that one). We're going to involve...

Yeah, the Vimeo compression made it worse than it actually is. The uncompressed version looks a lot better, though noise is still an issue. The lighting for that scene was a nightmare. It was light from my TV plus a cheap LED emergency light from Walmart. If I could do it again, I'd do a...

I can't wait for the GH4 to come out. Mostly because then hopefully I'll be able to pick up a GH3 for significantly less than the $1k they're selling for right now...

Just finished up my first music video for my friend's band. I've been running a production diary here on the site, but wanted to post it separately here, too. It's password-protected for right now, as we're going to enter a couple festivals with it and at some point have a real premiere. The...

Here is the final link for the video: https://vimeo.com/77472199 Password is horizoner Not making any more changes at this point, but I'm all ears if people have suggestions for future videos! And FYI, the guy signing is my co-producer.

He's now decided he's good with it as is. I think because I told him he was going to have to help me fix it. ;)

I spoke too soon. My co-producer is still not happy with a couple of trouble spots. :rolleyes: I think he and I are going to have to sit down together one more time to figure out the best solution. This is one of those times when I wish I had just a few more takes to pull footage from...because...

I'm converting the final video to upload to Vimeo as I type this. I had some last-minute changes that my co-producer deemed were necessary yesterday, and let me tell you, I don't think anything went right! The biggest thing was that after creating a new comp in After Effects, it REFUSED to...

So despite "finishing" the video a couple days ago, I've noticed a couple issues with it that I'm going to take the time to fix. They're minor things, in the end, but super noticeable to me. I'm guessing this is pretty typical...

We finished up the video tonight! Took a couple hours of fine-tuning things, moving some clips around, messing with the color grading, etc. But I just did the final render and uploaded it to Vimeo (privately so the band, etc. can see). I'm not ready to post the video link here yet, but if...

I'm getting it, too.

I create playlists for each thing I write, and tend to listen to those when I'm writing.

My co-producer seems to be leaning toward option 1. I'm so eager to get this finished so that I can share a link with all of you! This is really only my third video project (the first was so bad it'll never see the light of day, and I'm actually pretty sure I don't even have a copy of it...

Those are the two I like best! :yes:

A few more color grading options I've been playing around with. I'm still partial to the first one I posted further up the thread, but we'll see what my co-producer thinks...

My co-producer and I are getting together at some point this week to finish off the edits (I told him that now that we're down to just tweaking minor things, it's going to be a lot easier and quicker to just sit down and do them together rather than me doing them, rendering them, uploading them...
