the busketeers Video

Young band "The Busketeers" busking in Bath on Saturday 7th Nov 2009. I originally edited the video to the live sound I recorded but the band asked if I could edit it to their studio recording instead. It was a bit of a challenge as the live version was 1 minute longer than the studio version! I learned a lot while editing this (in Premier Elements 7). For a start, editing the H.264 files created by the 5D is much too slow - my quite fast PC can't decompress the video fast enough - so I tried Cineform's HDLink, which comes with NeoHD, to convert the video to Cineform's intermediate format. Amazing difference, editing becomes much easier.

Shot on a Canon 5D Mark II, mainly with 70-200mm f/2.8 IS lens but some of the wide shots were done with a 50mm f/1.4. I used the Zacuto Z-finder again and it really helps with both focus and stability. Camera was set to Neutral style and I applied contrast, brightness, saturation and colour changes in Premier Elements.

(There's obviously more than one band called "the busketeers" - this lot are from Bath.)

Christorix: Good music but running with the studio session was a mistake. (No excuse for bum notes in the studio). In the main, quality! Talent and imagination but you need more passion guys! Go with the live and let rip. If you love music, prove it! I reckon you're capable so show the world hat you can do :-)

owenbenson1: To be fair to the band, my live audio recording wasn't very good - I was using a mic on the camera which meant the audio shifted every time I reframed the shot. Next time I'll put a separate mic right in front of whoever I'm videoing!
