Sure it's a plug for the "Making Rainbows HD" video but there's a valid photographic reason as two cameras were used. Sometimes I will use the iSight camera in the laptop for a third perspective but it's a distant last choice as there is no substitute for serious glass in a camera. The tiny little lens in the laptop tries but ...
The full-scene perspective was shot with a Canon HG-F10 video camera and that image is not as sharp as I expect from Canon glass and the exposure is adequate but is not realistic as the contrast is not correct and neither is the saturation. This is likely user error as I did nothing special in the setup of the camera. In effect, it was shooting on automatic. The camera is capable of better and it should as it's moderately-expensive at about $800 US for the current model.
The close-up scene of the guitar was shot with a Sony HDR-AS20 which is available on Amazon for about $150 US. To my eye, there's little difference in the sharpness of the image and the exposure relative to that which was recorded by the Canon. What this means for future expansion is definitely get another of these ones, at least one if in any way possible. (There needs to be a camera in the laser rack aimed at the guitar player)
The next evaluation of the Canon HG-F10 will likely come on Sunday. The camera is about three years old and it's not the most current but the features are good. I'm more confident of getting better quality video in the next segment as the objective is to shoot some 'end of the world' footage in downtown Fort Worth. I figure it would be most desolate there on a Sunday morning just before sunrise. The temperature should be about 50F and it will be coming into a partly cloudy day.
There is the potential for some amusing video trickery as it would be useful if I saw an individual walking or a car moving. For those situations, I would film that taking place and then continue filming the scene after the car or person is gone. In the edit, I will show the person walking but will cut out the part about the person reaching the other side of the street and this will give the effect the person just disappeared but nothing else changed. To get trickier with it, sync the disappearance to a chord change. The music during this part needs some creepy, dreary synth voice.
All of the downtown footage will be cut back to near black & white and I understand this is highly freshman but the effect is used a lot because it's a good one and tells an immediate story. It's a music video so, unless I'll be going off into a long, self-indulgent lead, there isn't a lot of time to get the story told.
So that desolation cuts back to the Rockhouse for full Wizard of Oz with lasers and loud, all going full-tilt.
(Ed: same question. What's the point?)
Same answer that it would look massively-cool. Cat asked does it need more point than that and maybe it doesn't.
Ha! Here's a point: it's the end of the world and music is your salvation, my brother.
Done!
