Hi folks,

Some of you may recall a couple of music videos I made for a band called 'Logan', posted on the older version of the boards... Here's a new video I made for a young Scottish band called The 123's... Shot on a pair of Canon XL-2'a and edited on the Prestige +...

Please note the lyrics include a liberal application of the "F" word, so not for the easily offended...lol

Was this staged or live?

Hi Jeff,

it was all staged but is supposed to look live a live shoot. We shot all of the band stuff onstage before the crowd turned up and then did about three or four passes with the crowd in place. It wasn't a proper show either, the crowd were all friends of the band who thankfully didn't mind jumping up and down to the same track over and over again... ;)

The footage in the recording studio(s) was done around six months later, as was the soundtrack !!! :shock:

WOW!!! This is better than some music videos on TV!! The Canon XL-2's did a great job in low light. The composition was superb as is the content.

You should be very proud of your work.

Allen,

I just managed to get back on the forum after endless technical problems, and I see you've done it again with another awesome music video.
I should let the forum know that Allen and I are both from Glasgow, and when I was over there for a visit a couple of years back, he gave me a personal tour of the 'state of the art' BBC Scotland studios where he works as a cameraman.
Allen, I have some stuff to send you, if you'll email me offlist.
That is, if you're not going out on assignment to film the Loch Ness Monster again !

Up yer kilt.

Len
