SHOT: Local Natives at Daytrotter

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

Our documentary, Welcome to Daytrotter has a long time to go before its screening but we’re posting moments called Raw Footage that inspire us to continue filming and editing. We caught Local Natives in studio playing a catchy and cinematic song Wide Eyes. Again Dan Welk and I caught it all on Canon DSLRs and Lisa caught the sound in the room on the H4N. I synced it with Plualeyes and edited in Final Cut.  No color correction or audio sweetening. Honestly its hard to tell the difference between what we got and the recording that is posted on daytrotter here. Both are beautiful and elegant.

SHOT: Start The Revolution live by Poison Control Center

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

This is my start into the DSLR revolution. I recently acquired a Canon T2i and wanted to try it out. I called up by friend Dan Welk who has a Canon 5D mark ii and we headed to the PCC album release show. Both cameras have amazing depth of field, rich color, and low contrast settings, which all evoke a film feel. I’ve been following the DSLR movement religiously but have only recently been able to dive in. And dive I will. Look for lots more footage up here soon as well as all the content I have planned for the site. Got lots of shoots planned in the next few months so I’m excited to use this little guy.

Tech: This was shot with a 5D2 and T2i. The 5D2 had a Rode video mic on it. The audio is a mix of a board feed recorded on a Zooom H4N and a bit of the 5D camera audio. The three sources (2 video + 1 audio) were synced by Pluraleyes (which tried real hard) and edited in FCP with minor color correction. My T2i struggled a bit in the low light so I bumped up the mids in post a bit and desaturated it. The T2i image has quite a bit less latitude in it compared to the 5D2. There is a bit of distortion from the board at the beginning and the crowd had no inhibitions about bumping into us so it gets jumpy from time to time. This was a great test of these new cameras.
