This duet has created multiple videos with us in order to market to a variety of client needs. Upon arriving to the filming location, one of our audio technicians noticed the wind was interfering with the audio quality and quickly came up with a solution. Instead of recording live, our audio team turned a room inside the building into a sound studio to avoid wind noise. We then used speakers for playback during filming to synchronize the audio as we would with any shoot using prerecorded tracks. A great example of our team's adaptability and creative problem solving abilities. Multi-colored lights accented the cool blues of the city skyline at dusk and the warm hue from the background lights at night. A simple set up of 2 DSLRs, video lights, multi-colored lights, a gimbal, slider and tripod were used to create this video.

With a larger band, it's important that all musicians are in view for wide shots while not seeming cramped. We solved this problem by constructing a 30' x 12' two tier stage in our studio giving each performer enough space to be animated during filming. Some choreography was used to help the performers interact with the full stage.
Incorporating our video walls and moving lights in the production complemented the tempo of the songs as well as the motions of the performers. Prerecorded audio on playback gave our team flexibility with compositions, angles and equipment; providing more options for editing. Three videographers operated 4 DSLR cameras with cranes, gimbals, sliders and tripods.
