Last night I did my filming of the performance part of my music video. I met the band at 3pm and we set all the equipment up on the school's hall stage. However we hit quite a few problems which we managed to eventually solve: we kept setting the school fire alarm off because of the smoke machine (which we were going to use since it makes the lighting more effective) so eventually I forgot about using it and did without. Also, the PA speaker system wasn't loud enough for the band to hear (since all the speakers were facing inwards to the hall, away from the stage) so we had to get a small monitor linked to my iPod and play the music full blast to them from behind.
Despite the problems I got about 50 minutes of filming done with many camera shots and angles that I can use to put together a full performance video. The band also helpfully gave me some good ideas for the narrative part of my video, so I can start working on that while I edit this work together.
Meanwhile, I have started drafting digipac Cd covers for the song, which I will upload to the blog and can develop them from there.
Great work Luke, Im especially pleased to see you documenting the problems you faced and how you over came them.
