I just got here what going on?

Hi guys recently i shoot a music video for a band. Using bmpcc and on board mic. I have also used band music added 3 click at beginning so i can Sync it in post. It did help but drums wore so loud that it was hard to hear music coming out of small speakers attached to iPhone for band to fallow. So 50% of footage they wore trying to catch up to a song ot got lost and it was nightmare to sync in post even with 3 clicks at begin of the song. I am using i am using Pluraleyes to see if it will help but all you can hear is drums blazing so i dont think it will work. So my question is for my next music video what do i need to synch my actors voice to original track/song. Do they have to clearly hear the original song coming out to sing it to the point. Is it bad idea to record audio in camera with crappy mice or do i need to invest in separate recording device for voice since i am on a budged would something like Zoom recording device work. How do you guys get clear sync to original music to your actors singing what steps do you guys fallow. Thanks a Bunch

what do you mean don't ignore number of hits? thanks Thanks for that info man if i can ask this you don't have to tell me what you charge but what would one charge at beginning for a music video Thanks just awsome Thanks guys for all the help and info

That is some good work man. I understand you not doing it for free but how does one gets clients with no work to show or demo reel. What my plan is doing 3 music videos 3 personal projects and 3 spec commercials just to have something to show. And i am working with what i have Hwo did you get to do this music video did your demo get you there or contact

Yes i will grade well not grade just use some colorista in premiere change a bit spend few hours and give it to them i am almost done. But my version i will use spend good time on color. Crop is just sd low quality that premiere did final is full HD And getting paid is nice and apology is nice to goes longggg way LOL A+B=C, they tend to think "C. reminds me of that but my 16 year old cousin can do the editing its not that hard

that is still good work man i could not tell she was not on stage half the time power of editing

Thanks off synch yes my first edit is just rough edit or template i do my audio on second then on 3th edit i fix it all make i tighter. dudeeeeeeeee that is dam good that is like 30 times more work then me what part don't they like its great music video great set nice idea. I think when people are not paying they think they can change and do what ever they like but when you tell them they have to pay for extra changes then they agree and can live with original idea. But defiantly in my nest music video nest moth it will be all contract and put on paper. If they dont like it read the contract that is the only way to go free to paying Again great work man

Hi guys thanks again for all the reply's and help Basically few night back i told him this is your final change 3th change but i am not going to change it so much where my edit or so called artistic ability is compromised and that he is not getting raw footage and if he wants the raw footage it will be 2300 he never mentioned raw footage again. I am being diplomatic here and calm i mean we all are just he is bit difficult. Here is a first edit i did in 4 hours. That i have on line PASS 905 All shoot on BMPCC some lights and yashica 23mm https://vimeo.com/158790423

I would probably be the bigger man here and just let them have the footage, with a written contract stating that you are allowed to release an edited version, for use in your portfolio/showreel. It's a live and learn situation... You may as well come out of it with something to show for your hard work, even if the band release something you do not want your name associated with. Yeah what Mattias said - if he wants to edit the footage himself, then he buys the footage from you. I feel for you, I'm in a, sort of, similar situation. I've done a short doc for a group, done a few things for them & never had any problems. Their manager is a friend, known him for years and a really nice guy (no problems with him). The real problems came when the main guy decided he wanted to change the focus of the doc away from a "making of their first single" and towards a doc about him - no problems, just interviewed him, reused footage i already had and he loved it. However, when it came to paying me i got the "Oh, sorry, we've spent the money we were going to use to pay you with!" and add insult to injury the cheeky fucker asked if he could have it for free, with the promise that he'd pay me later! Well we didn't sign a contract and I told him (to his face), no money no doc and if he didn't pay up soon i'd delete the whole thing! Be tough with these people, I know its unpaid, but if they want to take the piss then make them pay or just simply keep the footage without them in and delet the project & move on. If you've done a few things and are getting work, you need to start charging. It doesn't have to be loads, but it has to be something & always make a contract regardless of whether its paid work or not! That sound bad but i like your approach no money no honey right in the face. Did you write you won contract or did you pay for it Since i don't have the money for a proper contract from a legal source is there a template that i can use here where it would say that i can use the final video for my portfolio. sorry about the top i don't know what i did with merging

Here is another kick they want to enter a CBC searchlight contest worth 50k its a long shoot if they win but if they do now there is money involved. And CBC one of the rules i really don't like Your Submission will become the property of CBC and will not be returned to you i don't fell right about this and this By submitting your Submission (which includes Your Song and Your Video), you grant CBC a royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, irrevocable, unrestricted, worldwide license to publish, reproduce and distribute your Submission in all media. I am not sure is there is any cash prize most of the 50k is in equipment for the band and professional help which i really don't care about i mean if they get 50k in equipment that is fine by me but if there is money cash involved that is another story. Ah for FUCK SAKE my first work has to turn in to lollapalooza

Hi guys i shoot produced edited the whole 9 yards music video for free no money was exchanged or contract written for a local rock band ( i am making my portfolio and gaining experience). I delivered finished music video on time that i agree on resalable 3 weeks turnaround 3 reversions with a client ( they are not paying client but i am approaching this as professional and as paying client) and they love the finished video we all head input on the look and fell of the video. Lead singer of the group become professional editor over night since he seen some videos on you tube how to use avid. I told him there is more to editing then just buttons its a craft/art. Other 3 member of the group love the final edit but this main guy is now asking me to give him raw files so he can make changes of course nicely and politely i told him no that was not the deal at all and they head enough time to change what ever they like to a point. 3 other band member are staying out of it Before anything started i told them in the email that they will get 3 reversions full production editing, camera, lightning all the gear was provided by me and location but final edit is my to make and after final edit all the original files will be deleted and no money will be made of the original raw files sold ect so i can move on to next project. He basically is saying that legally those files are his since he is in the picture. I told him under Canada law since contract was not made and nothing was written or specified those files are my to do what ever i wish plus i have the original email them agreeing on the terms i asked for. My question is i have few more music videos coming up under same deal should i have some basic contract written up? Any ideas or insight would help Thanks guys

Dude that was awesome this shows that you don't need some expensive raw recording camera to have a good looking music video. I love technology but when story gets me i forget all that. Only thing i can comment on is editing there are some cuts where its to fast specially at beginning i would hold not have so many cuts but that is me. Good work on all front UK Beaches my few quote from snatch Avi: Shut up and sit down, you big, bald fuck. I don't like leaving my own country, Doug, and I especially don't like leaving it for anything less then warm sandy beaches, and cocktails with little straw hats. Doug the Head: We've got sandy beaches... Avi: So? Who the fuck wants to see 'em?

i know man i don't see much of kine at all looks like really good camera

Some examples I look for when shooting for twixor Alternate Motions, Specular Highlights, Duplicated Frame, Limited Reach, Noise and Compression Artifacts and my fev Picket Fence problem twixor is nice but to say that it is a solution with no problems where you can just take any camera and just shoot what ever is not reality

ursa mini or red if i head to pick man same price even if red in 1000 more i would go red all the way. Lots of people have problems just google it with ursa it like they release the camera you buy it and then over time it will get to what they promise in the first place with updates and fixes. Reds have great history and are workhorses specially red 1 and red one mx are still great cameras. and can be found for under 4k. There was guys selling fully loaded red mx with 2 master prime red lenses for 10k what a deal.

If you are making living from your music videos and are serious about what you do then by all means get a red they have great cameras great support and non of those problems that black magic cameras have. You can allays rent lenses Oh and i dont know if you know red user marketplace has red cams fully loaded ready to shoot in you price. red scarlet mx ready to shoot and come with canon mount $8500 http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?142136-SCARLET-MX-Cine-Package

well twixor is nice but it also creates problems if you don't shoot right in camera slow mo is always better looking. on youtube no one will tell it from Alexa. Oh common now you can totally tell the difference when you use alexa and master primes grading ect ect
